Omega-3 fats may reduce the risk of dementia by about 20 percent, according to a new study spanning three continents.
Data from close to 15,000 people in seven countries indicated that the more omega-3’s consumed, the more beneficial the effects.
Two earlier studies also reported that regular consumption of omega-3 rich food could prevent age-related cognitive decline. The majority of science for the health benefits of omega-3 consumption has focused on cardiovascular health, but the science for cognitive benefits is growing and is now almost as compelling as the heart health data.
