Patient's question:
The son of my friend is now two years old. Her family members have told him that he needs to supplement DHA and should eat more foods rich in DHA. Could you please tell me which foods have the highest content of DHA?Doctor's answer:
DHA is high in fish, and DHA is also known as docosahexaenoic acid. Fish rich in docosahexaenoic acid include tuna, mackerel, sardines, and eels, as well as ribbon fish. The content of docosahexaenoic acid in 100 grams of fish can reach more than 1000 milligrams. For a certain type of fish, the high content of docosahexaenoic acid is mainly due to the orbital fat, followed by fish oil. Docosahexaenoic acid is an important component of the brain and retina.
