Eating fish just once a week could stave off Alzheimer's by stopping the brain from shrinking.

A new study establishes for the first time a direct link between fish consumption and the health of 'grey cells' that are vital for memory and other key brain functions.

Good news if you enjoy fish.. But why should this be ?
: ....eating fried fish however, did not increase grey matter volume or protect against cognitive decline.

Since 2009 with motorhomes several caravans then tents before that.
We all take omega 3 fish oil capsules. Ive given them to the kids everyday since they were about 4 and twins 2. You can get it in yoghurt form or chewy sweets for little ones. Though we have the oil filled capsules now. Its the fatty acids they contain that are good for you i am lead to believe. They are especially good for children whilst their brains are developing.
It would be nice to think it could prevent us getting such a terrible disease.
Im sure we are all better for taking it anyway.

We eat oily fish from tins regularly. Lidl have a good range using different sauces. I don't know about Alzheimers but it was said years ago that Omega 3 was good for the brain so perhaps this is just the DM rehashing instead of finding real news to report.

It does have an effect on cholesterol levels though. A nurse once told Jill she could tell from some results that she ate oily fish.
