Omega-3 rich foods such as fish and spinach may help prevent Alzheimer’s: Study

Hindustan Times  

Eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids such as fish and spinach may increase blood flow to areas in the brain associated with memory and learning, reducing the risk of Alzheimer’s disease, a new study claims. “This is very important research because it shows a correlation between lower omega-3 fatty acid levels and reduced brain blood flow to regions important for learning, memory, depression and dementia,” said lead researcher Daniel G Amen from Amen Clinics in the US. The Images acquired from subjects performing various cognitive tasks will show higher blood flow in specific brain regions, researchers said. They compared the images to Omega-3 Index, a measure of the blood concentration of two omega-3 fatty acids, eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid, investigators found a statistically significant correlation between higher blood flow and higher Omega-3 Index.
