I'm A Nutritional Psychiatrist & This Is My No. 1 Food For Brain Health

One of his favorite selects? The nutritional power of the oft-overlooked anchovy. According to Ramsey, this tiny fish boasts some pretty impressive cognitive benefits. And yet, "A lot of people don't have a good anchovy game," he says. Here's why you may want to level up.

Of course, you can get DHA from a variety of cold-water fish, but there's a reason anchovies typically reign supreme: Not only are they jam-packed with omega-3s (as Ramsey said, a single anchovy has 87 milligrams), but due to their smaller stature, they're also less likely to contain mercury and other pollutants that accumulate with each feeding. Bonus points if they're housed in good-quality olive oil: In that case, you'll have even more healthy fats (hello, omega-9s) to fill your plate.

If you're not a fan of anchovies in your diet (and let's face it, the ingredient can be divisive) or want to complement your anchovy intake, you can reap the benefits of a quality omega-3 supplement, like mbg's omega-3 potency+. The supplement is made with 100% sustainably sourced, wild-caught, cold-water Peruvian anchoveta from the South Pacific—the pure anchovy oil has even been third-party ORIVO certified for authenticity. This cutting-edge evidence-based transparency fingerprinting technology verifies the fish oil species and origin. The formula also contains antioxidants from vitamin E and rosemary extract to naturally support the freshness and shelf life of the fish oil. And because no one likes a fishy aftertaste (much less fish burps), omega-3 potency+ also contains organic lemon oil for a more, uh, pleasant taste and aroma.

According to Ramsey, increasing your anchovy game may bolster, among other things, the brain-supporting capabilities of your diet.
