Need another reason to be a believer in the benefits of omega 3?A new study from the Journal of Neurology looked at the amount of omega 3 fatty acid levels in 1575 subjects and markers of accelerated brain again.
Lower DHA levels (an omega 3 fatty acid found in oily fish) was found to be associated with a smaller brain and cognitive impairment! subjects with low DHA levels scored lower on tests of visual memory and abstract thinking than subjects with higher levels of DHA.
So unless you eat salmon or herring three times a week, I am a strong believer in fish oil supplements!
Check out my previous post on how to choose the perfect supplement here. You should get over a gram per day of DHA+EPA (look on the nutrition label.)
Read more about omega-3 fatty acids and how they are proposed to work in my previous post here.
