Omega-3 intake linked to signs of brain aging | Reuters

Omega-3 intake linked to signs of brain aging | Reuters: Older women with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their blood had slightly less brain shrinkage than women with low fatty acid levels in a new study.

The results may suggest that omega-3s protect the brain from the loss of volume that happens with normal aging and is seen more severely in people with dementia, the researchers say.
