SAN ANTONIO (Oct. 5, 2022) — Eating cold-water fish and different sources of omega-3 fatty acids might safeguard brain wellbeing and upgrade discernment in middle age, new proof demonstrates.

Having in any event some omega-3s in red platelets was related with better brain structure and mental capability among solid review volunteers in their 40s and 50s, as per research distributed web-based Oct. 5 in Neurology®, the clinical diary of the American Foundation of Nervous system science.
