Omega Fish Oils Found In Seafood Improve Brain Function

A recent study suggests that the omega fish oils found in seafood can improve brain function in middle aged people and actually lower the risk of mental impairment as people age.

The study tracked more than 1600 Dutch men and women aged 45 to 70 over a six-year period, the researchers found those who ate fish regularly scored higher on a battery of tests for memory, psychomotor speed, cognitive flexibility, and overall cognition. Moreover, the study concluded that the specific factors contributing to better brain function were fatty fish and the consumption of two essential omega-3 fatty acids found in canned tuna, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid).

"It is important for pregnant and nursing women to understand that the omega-3 fatty acids found in fish are essential during pregnancy. Women need to know that eating canned tuna and many other types of fish during pregnancy provides the omega-3 fatty acids that are necessary for the brain of the fetus to develop and thrive."
