Sardines are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids that keep our brains sharper as we get into middle age and beyond. They are also loaded with the brain-boosting vitamin B12, which may boost memory, ward off depression, and increase energy. There is a lot of niacin in sardines as well, and that may help us find more mental energy.
