Omega-3 Fatty Acids - You may have heard that you should at least eat fish for omega-3 fatty acids. These essential fats play an important role in the development of the retina and brain and maintenance of the central nervous system.

Omega-3 fatty acids are also available from ground flax seeds (added to baked goods or smoothies), flax seed oil, walnuts, walnut oil, canola oil, soy products, soybean oil, hempseed oil and wheat germ.
