Eating Fish May Help Prevent Alzheimer's Disease |
| Eating
more fish may help prevent Alzheimer's Disease, according to research
being done at the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada. The study
has shown that Alzheimer's patients have lower blood levels of docosahexaenoic
acide (DHA) than non-sufferers.
DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid found to reduce the risk of heart disease. It is found in high concentrations in salmon, tuna, fish oils, and omega-3-enriched eggs. Although the link between DHA and Alzheimer's has not been established, the study indicates that those persons with early symptoms of dementia may want to consider increasing their intake of omega-3 fatty acids.
