Check this out: "Nourishing the network: How everyday foods fortify the nervous system against modern stress". Summary says it's about how foods like fatty fish (omega-3!) can help with chronic stress and cognitive decline. Anyone else think omega-3 gummies are the way to go? I've been taking them for a bit but curious what others think.

Nice find! I've read that omega-3s are crucial for brain health. I take a fish oil gummy every morning—it's become part of my routine. No major difference felt yet, but I've only been consistent for a month. Defo think it's worth it for the long haul. Stress is real in my job, so I'll take any help.

Bro, I'm all about that omega-3 life. I live out of a van half the year and eat a lot of canned sardines, but I also keep a bottle of algae-based omega-3 gummies for when I'm on the move. I swear my focus is better. The article is spot on—modern life is nuts, so fortifying the nervous system is key.

Interesting! I've been intermittent fasting and wonder if taking omega-3 gummies breaks the fast? Anyone know? I take them with my first meal now, but maybe timing matters.

I think as long as they don't have sugar or calories, they shouldn't break a fast. Most gummy omega-3s have a little sugar though, so I'd take 'em during your eating window to be safe. Better safe than sorry, ya know?
