These healthy fats work by strengthening the membranes in cells throughout the body. Now, new research shows omega-3 fatty acids are particularly effective for preserving brain function.
Recent laboratory studies indicate diets rich in omega-3 fatty acids from fish and fish oil concentrate result in reduced age-related mental decline and lower incidence of Alzheimer's disease.
High consumption of the omega-3 fatty acid DHA (docosahexaneoic acid) is specifically linked to improved function in brain activity linked to emotions, reasoning, mood and memory.
Preliminary data suggests that high intake of omega-3s could cut the risk of Alzheimer's by 50 percent. The NIH (National Institute Of Health) is funding a large-scale study around the country to determine the effects of omega-3 fatty acids on the brain and the risk of Alzheimer's disease.
So what's the bottom line, adding fish or fish oil capsules to your daily dieting will help you live a healthier life. Much more research is needed for an absolute but, if you took 1000mg a day, that would give you 1.5 grams of EPA/DHA; about the same as you’d get in 3 ounces (85 g) of salmon.
