【Key points of this article】A study shows that eating at least one serving of high-Omega-3 fish, such as fish, can prolong memory loss. People with higher Omega-3 fatty acids in their blood have larger squids, which can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. The content of Omega-3 is related to better reasoning ability. The National Health Agency recommends eating at least two servings of fish a week, one of which is a fat-rich fish. This study illustrates the importance of healthy eating to have a healthy brain in late middle age. --by ChatGPT

After middle age, people clearly feel memory decline. The good news is that just by eating a serving of fish containing high-quality Omega-3, such as fish, can delay memory reduction.

A study of 2,200 Americans aged 40 to 50 measured the content of Omega-3 fatty acids in their blood. The results show that three-quarters of people with high Omega-3 content have larger macadamia, which is related to memory, and larger macadamia may also help prevent dementia. When a person has higher Omega-3 content, the better their performance in complex reasoning tests and is better at solving various problems in life.

Researchers said that these people may eat at least one serving (3g) of high-fat fish a week, including fish, sardines, etc. This study published in the journal Neurology does not ask the subjects how much fish they eat in a question paper, but first let them measure the Omega-3 content in the blood, then complete a series of cognitive tests, and then perform magnetic resonance scan (MRI) of the brain.

The researchers divided the subjects into four groups based on Omega-3 levels. Compared with the group with the lowest content of Omega-3, the three groups with the highest content have larger marigolds, which is beneficial to their learning and memory as they grow older. The level of Omega-3 is also related to better abstract reasoning capabilities. For example, asking the subject "the common point between knives and scissors" is "both they can cut things." The higher the level of Omega-3 in a person, the better it will be in this mental test.

Having a healthy brain in middle age is very important for old age.

Dr. Sara Imarisio, a research chief at the British Alzheimer's Research Centre, said that as you are what you eat, healthy diets overall can reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease. Fish containing high-quality fatty acids can help the brain by reducing inflammation. Having a healthy brain in middle age is very important for old age.

The National Health Service (NHS) recommends that a healthy and balanced diet should include eating at least two servings of fish per week, one of which is a fat-rich fish.
