An American study revealed that those who ate fish at least once a week had a risk three to five times lower develop memory impairment or Alzheimer's.
However, not all fish benefit. Only fish that through the process of treatment with roasted or grilled proven nourish the brain.
Baking or burning is considered as the best way of processing fish are able to maintain maximum levels of omega 3. This is important because the omega-3 into a compound key that will unleash the flow of blood to the brain, preventing inflammation, and prevent the emergence of Alzheimer's plaques triggers.
It is not advisable to eat fish fry. Processing of fish in hot oil and potentially could eliminate omega 3. That is, eating fried fish will not get the maximum benefit to nourish the brain.
The conclusion is the result of the University of Pittsburgh study, involving 260 healthy volunteers, average age 76 years.
In a study presented at the annual meeting of the Radiology Society of North America, the volunteers were asked to answer a questionnaire about eating habits of the fish for 10 years.
The results of brain scans show that people who do not have the habit of eating fish regularly experience shrinkage in the area of the brain associated with memory function.
Dr. Cyrus A Raji, who led the study, said, in addition to ways of processing, further studies have also found the type of fish that contain omega 3 highest, namely salmon. "While omega 3 supplements do not provide protection as well as eating fresh fish," he said, as quoted by the Telegraph.
Dr Simon Ridley, head of research at the Center for Alzheimer's Research UK, agreed that fish consumption may reduce the risk of cognitive decline. However, he cautioned that the benefits are felt to be different in each person, because there are still other factors that affect memory.."This study does not take into account lifestyle factors such as other foods or exercise. The best way to prevent memory impairments is to eat healthy foods, including fruits and vegetables, and balanced with regular exercise and stopping smoking."
