Fish oil
is touted as a magical potion that boosts fertility, heart health, and
weight loss and promotes a clear complexion, while lessening the effects
of depression, ulcers, diabetes and many more conditions. But there’s
another benefit to these glossy little capsules: They may prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
A new study of 819 people
published in the journal Alzheimer’s & Dementia found that taking
fish oil supplements on a daily basis is associated with a significant
decrease in cognitive decline (as measured by the Alzheimer’s Disease Assessment Scale
and the Mini Mental State Exam) and brain atrophy — important findings
in light of statistics that show that one person per minute is diagnosed
with Alzheimer’s disease.
I know certain biotechs are using concentrated fish oil for various purposes. Hmm might be time to invest in some and see what it does.
