Alzheimer’s can affect the elderly. It can cause them to become confused and affects their memory so they don’t understand time. Sufferers need a lot of care. One of the things which can supposedly help is omega-3 fatty acids. These have other benefits as well so should already be in your diet no matter how old you are. One good source of these is fish. You can take supplements for them as well such as fish or krill oil.
Key Takeaways:
- Increased blood flow to the brain is one key aspect associated with the brain functions of memory and learning.
- Neuroimaging, reported in the journal of Alzheimer’s shows increased blood flow to the brain, brought about by the use of omega-3 fats in the diet.
- It would appear that omega-3 fatty acids also have significant anti-amyloid, anti-tau and anti-inflammatory properties, of further use to the human brain.
“Overall, the study showed positive relationships between omega-3 EPA+DHA status, brain perfusion, and cognition.”
