Fish Oil Supplements and Cognitive Health – Fish oil supplements have long been touted for their potential health benefits, particularly for heart health. But could they also play a role in preserving brain function and slowing cognitive decline? A recent study published in Alzheimers Dement explores this intriguing possibility, suggesting that fish oil supplements might help maintain brain volume and cognitive function in older adults.

A recent study in Mayo Clinic Proceedings sheds new light on how marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids can help prevent cardiovascular disease. Higher doses of EPA and DHA were associated with greater protection against heart disease, significantly reducing the risk of myocardial infarction and coronary heart disease events.

The recent study, published in Neuroscience, explores how DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and exercise work together to enhance brain function and cognitive recovery post-injury. The combination of DHA and exercise significantly improved cognitive function and brain health markers, suggesting a powerful tool in TBI recovery. This synergy offers a promising approach for TBI patients.
