This study was conducted with older individuals to evaluate the relationship between levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood and brain function. For this purpose, mental (cognitive) impairment and levels of omega-3 fatty acids were measured in 935 participants. Study participants with dementia turned out to have significantly lower levels of omega-3 fatty acids, thus indicating a beneficial role of these natural nutritional compounds in supporting brain function. More details can be found in the study.<\/p>\n<h3>References<\/h3>\n<p>Antonio Cherubini,\u00a0Cristina Andres-Lacueva,\u00a0Antonio Martin,\u00a0Fulvio Lauretani,\u00a0Angelo Di Iorio,\u00a0Benedetta Bartali,\u00a0Annamaria Corsi,\u00a0Stefania Bandinelli,\u00a0Mark P Mattson,\u00a0Luigi Ferrucci<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><a style=\"color: #5aadcb;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/17921425\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Link to article &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated or &#8220;essential&#8221; fatty acids that occur in both foods of animal origin (oily fish) and foods of plant origin (vegetable oils, seaweed, certain nuts and seeds).
