A new study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, provides further evidence that a diet high in Omega-3 Fatty Acids helps to prevent the onset of Alzheimer’s.
In Alzheimer’s disease, lesions known as “plaques” and “tangles” form in the brain, due to the abnormal clumping of two proteins called beta-amyloid and tau. The mouse study found that a diet rich in the fatty acid DHA might interfere with this process.
