CRAYFISH IS BRAIN FOOD

- ... so says my mother -

March 2014

When my mother, many years ago, told me that shellfish was brain food, I believed her. And as crayfish are shellfish, she included them in her statement.

Actually, I have often had that lovely experience of feeling unusually good and alert after having eaten crayfish. For years I did not think much about that pleasant feeling after a crayfish dinner. Finally I started wondering why. Soon I found the reason. Sea food and crayfish have a large amount of Omega-3 fatty acids. And omega-3's have a very positive impact on our brain cells, the neurons and the whole works up there.

One of the important side effects of omega-3's when they start working on the brain is that they help generate serotonin. Clinical literature is full of omega-3's magic anti-oxidizing role when it comes to perking up many facets of our brain power. It tends to wipe away depression and makes us feel good. It even tends to reduce hot flashes when they are bothering. So here is apparently the reason why I often feel so good and happy after I have eaten my monthly helping of crayfish.

Take a look at a listing of fish and their contents of omega-3 fatty acids. Leading the pack is the salmon. But it has to be the wild Alaskan salmon for most 3's or you might as well buy the cheaper farmed salmon. 'And why does the wild salmon have so much omega-3' you ask. Well, I found out. The wild salmon, cruising around in the ocean, finds lots of food among the krill and other denizens of the cold waters. All these krill, which are also crustaceans, contain lots of omega-3 fatty acids, and as the salmon keeps eating these for its meals, the amount of omega-3's in its flesh accumulates.

Farmed salmon, on the other hand, is fed pellets of feed which may not contain as much natural omega-3. Thus, the farm fed salmon ends up with more omega-6 fatty acids, which are not very good for us to ingest as they tend to oxidize our blood vessels.
