Eating oily fish, or fish containing omega-3 fatty acids can help with blood circulation to the brain helping to reduce the risk of dementia. A study of one half of the candidates consuming oily fish and the other half not consuming oily fish resulted in the half that did eat the fish with much better circulation to the brain. The conclusion of the study was that eating the oily fish will create higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood which helps with circulation.
Key Takeaways:
- The researchers found a ‘statistically significant’ correlation between increased blood flow and higher levels of omega-3 in the blood.
- Although the study does not suggest any treatments, it does raise the possibility that dietary factors could significantly affect cognitive functioning
- The results were statistically significant, and pave the way for further research into dietary approaches to Alzheimer’s disease.
“Government guidelines recommend that we eat two portions of fish a week, one of which should be of the oily variety.”
