We eat Seafood for the fatty acids Mainly for DHA (+ other nutrients) DHA is DOCOSAHEXAENOIC ACID It's the single most important molecule for Brain & Mitochondrial evolution. The Nature’s Optical SEMICONDUCTOR. THREAD 🧵 1/12 image View quoted note →

DHA is how we evolved our BIG BRAIN 🧠 Your body can't produce enough of it, So you need to get it from your Diet. NO OTHER molecule has replaced DHA in the brain or eyes of mammals since it first showed up 600 million years back. This shows how unique and irreplaceable this essential nutrient is. 2/12 image
DHA (via photoelectric effect) turns sunlight into a DC electric current during the day to provide enough power to your master circadian clock i.e. SCN to run faster than every other clock in your body (among many other things) Why faster? 4/12 image
Because that’s how time sync works. This is the same reason clock on a GPS satellite runs 38 microseconds faster than the clock on Earth. Without that offset, GPS system will go kaput. Same way, without enough DHA, your circadian rhythm collapses. 5/12 image
When your SCN is well powered & running faster than peripheral clocks, Your whole body runs ON time. Sleep, hormone release, digestion, repair operate with military precision. 6/12 image
Before 1879, this wasn’t a problem. Then Edison gave us the light bulb. Tesla wired the planet. Now there’s 10¹⁸ times more artificial EMF around us than a hundred years ago. The environment has completely changed but our BIOLOGY hasn't. 7/12 image
The Bazan effect is how neurons repair themselves using DHA. Light activates them, DHA gets used, the liver sends LPC–DHA and Mfsd2a ferries it back across the blood–brain barrier to rebuild what was lost. 9/12 image
That loop keeps your brain young and sharp.. until EMFs and artificial light .. Start breaking it faster than you can fix it. That’s why Seafood matters now more than ever. The mechanism used to recycle DHA (Bazan effect) is defective in the modern world. 10/12 image
YOU WILL HAVE to have to consume MORE dietary DHA than normal to maintain your intelligence/sharpness Because Seafood gives you preformed DHA (SN2 phospholipid form) in the exact structure your brain needs. Not the fake stuff from fish oil capsules. Not the Plant ALA that barely converts. 11/12 image
