Herring is a nutrient-dense fish that provides significant benefits for brain health. It is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been linked to improved cognitive function, reduced inflammation, and a lower risk of cognitive decline. Herring is also high in vitamin B12, which is essential for maintaining a healthy nervous system and supporting brain function.
