Salmon

Salmon is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which the brain needs in order to function properly. The only way we can get this essential nutrient into our bodies, is by eating it, because the human body does not produce it on its own.

According to The University of Maryland Medical Center, "Symptoms of omega-3 fatty acid deficiency include fatigue, poor memory, dry skin, heart problems, mood swings or depression, and poor circulation."
