A recent study conducted at Rhode Island Hospital and published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia found that fish oil could help reduce cognitive decline and improve memory function.
The study included 229 participants who were cognitively normal, 397 who were diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, and 193 with Alzheimer’s or Dementia. All of the participants underwent tests that measured their thinking and learning abilities and compared those results to consuming fish oil.
The team found that overall fish oil consumption significantly lowered risks of cognitive decline, especially associated with Alzheimer’s disease and Dementia.
It is noted that omega-3 fatty acids are found in fish oil and the following foods:
· Flax seeds, walnuts
· Soybeans
· Brussels sprouts and cauliflower
If you are interested in preventing cognitive decline associated with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia you might want to consider adding fish oil to your diet.
Enjoy your day.
