Foods of Omega-3 can help prevent Alzheimer's disease

New York, May 20: A study has shown that omega-3 fatty foods eat high blood circulation in areas of the brain associated with memory and learning and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. A progressive disease that destroys Alzheimer's memory and other important mental functions. Typically, omega-3 fatty acids - flax seed oil, walnuts, salmon, soy beans, and spinach - have been shown to have anti-amyiodide and animal and anti-inflammatory activity in animals.

The study showed positive relationships between omega-3 EPA+DHA status, brain perfusion, and cognition. "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 author Daniel G. Amen, CEO, the Amen Clinics Inc in the US. Further, the study also demonstrates the value of nutritional intervention for brain health by using the latest brain imaging technique known as Single photon emission computed tomography, or SPECT, which can measure blood perfusion in the brain. 

"This study opens the door to the possibility that relatively simple dietary changes could favorably impact cognitive function," added William S. Harris, from the University of South Dakota . In the study, appearing in the Journal of Alzheimer's Disease, the images acquired from participants performing various cognitive tasks will show higher blood flow in specific brain regions. In the study, the team analyzed brain images collected from high OEM3 levels of 166 participants and demonstrated various cognitive tasks and discovered high blood flow associated with memory in specific brain areas, and found neurogunative testing. In addition, they also find that omega-3 levels are correlated with different psychological feelings of participants.
