Summary:
- This article discusses a study that found a link between higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids and better brain health in older women. The study suggests that omega-3s may help protect against cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease.
- The study followed over 2,000 women aged 65 and older for 10 years. It found that those with higher blood levels of omega-3s had larger brain volumes and better cognitive function compared to those with lower levels.
- The findings indicate that incorporating more omega-3 rich foods, such as fatty fish, into one's diet may be beneficial for maintaining brain health and reducing the risk of Alzheimer's as women age.
