Fish Oil may Not Prevent Mental Decline | |

| |
We have always been fed with the information that Omega-3 supplements help prevent mental decline in old age, but a recent study seems to refute this claim.
The study showed that the benefit for cognitive health among older people taking omega-3 supplements is negligible.
The study showed that the benefit for cognitive health among older people taking omega-3 supplements is negligible.
Dr Marie Janson of Alzheimer's Research UK, the UK's leading dementia research charity, said: "While taking omega-3 supplements may not be the key to staving off cognitive problems, eating a healthy balanced diet, including fish and other natural sources of omega-3, is important for maintaining good health.
"We know that what is good for the heart can be good for the head so maintaining a healthy weight, eating a balanced diet, exercising and keeping our blood pressure in check are all ways that we could reduce our risk of cognitive decline and dementia later in life",researchers said.
