Maintain a Steel Trap Memory REGARDLESS of Age
If you wrote a letter to Santa as a child, you likely asked for something like matchbox cars, GI Joes, or Barbies.
Today, I’m betting your list would look a little different.
It may include things like improved memory, lower risk of heart disease, or less pain.
If that sounds like your own wish list, then I have good news.
One single nutrient that can deliver on all three.
Omega-3s are the gift that keeps on giving.
These healthy fats have made a name for themselves as heart health boosters, but they ALSO support cognitive function and memory as you age.
And research confirms it. In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study, women aged 50 to 75 took 2.2 grams of omega-3 fatty acids like DHA and EPA for 26 weeks.
In addition to increased blood levels of omega-3s, those who took the supplement had significantly enhanced working memory recall.
This is the type of vital memory you need when trying to remember something (like what you need at the grocery store).
In other words, it’s your brain’s ability to temporarily store and recall information.
Other studies show that besides supporting a steel-trap memory as you age, omega-3s ALSO boost cerebral blood flow and learning.
And this super nutrient’s benefits don’t end there, either. There are plenty of other ways maintaining healthy omega-3s goes hand-in-hand with healthy aging, including better…
- vision,
- joint mobility,
- social well-being, and
- heart health.
And it turns out that fish really ARE brain food. Fatty fish such as mackerel, salmon, and herring are the best sources of omega-3s. Cod liver oil and omega-3 supplements are available, as well.
Do something for yourself this holiday season.
Give yourself the gift of better memory and overall good health by boosting your intake of omega-3s.
P.S. “Body Clock” trick slows aging to a crawl.
