Fish Consumption May Reduce Risk of Dementia

In a study to be published in the November 13, 2007 edition of Archives of Neurology, researchers looked at DHA levels in 900 men and women, ages 55 to 88. DHA is an omege-3 fatty acid linked to brain health found in fatty fish. Participants who consumed an average of 3 servings of fatty fish (such as salmon, herring and sardines) per week had a significantly reduced risk of developing dementia.
