DHA & EPA: The Missing Link to Increased Mental Development & Memory

http://www.Omega3PromoCodes.com A recent study on the effects of polyunsaturated fatty acids on the mental development of dementia patients, or patients with similar disorders such as memory loss, has been made with generally positive results. Polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as omega-3, are an essential addition to any healthy diet. They improve the chemical interaction of the nervous system with the brain along with regulating the blood flow and boosting the immune system. Marine-derived omega-3 fatty acids are normally found in krill, squid and fish, particularly oily fish. Oily fish such as mackerel, salmon, char and sardines contain the best source of EPA, DPA and DHA. A different omega-3 source called ALA can be found in some nuts and seeds or in dark green leafy vegetables for vegetarian diets. Such fatty acids can reduce inflammation and prevent the formation of fatty plaques in arteries. The anti-inflammatory properties of Omega-3 can also help relieve the effects of rheumatoid arthritis. DHA found in Omega-3 is also an essential ingredient to visual and neurological infant development and when taken as a supplement, it can have a positive effect on the elderly, reducing many symptoms of aging. Many studies also suggestan increase in omega-3 EPA and DHA supplements for those suffering from respiratory inflammation such as asthma or for those prone to allergic reactions. Omega-3 fatty acids found in fish oil also helps to maintain the nerve cells in the hippocampus, preserving the memory and keeping the brain from deteriorating with age, which can lead to the development of Alzheimer's disease and dementia. This is supported by a recent study published in Neurology that there is at least a 0.7% increase in overall brain size in those who have doubled omega-3 intake. Another study concerning EPA and DHA in omega-3 also supports these findings. The team researching…
