Omega-3 Fatty Acids for Brain Health and Against Alzheimer's Disease. - Alzheimer's 26

Salmon, fatty fish is rich of omega-3 fatty acids.

As we know that polyunsaturated fats are superior fats. The most important source of this kind of fat is fatty fish which contain omega-3 for brain health.

Omega-3 acids are incorporated into membrane cells, and the membrane that rich with omega-3 acids play role in signaling cell, membrane protein function, and gene expression.

Some studies show that individual suffer with neurogenerative and Alzheimer's disease lack of omega-3 fatty acids. Then, we know that omega-3 acids are essentials part of neuronal membranes. That also play important role in development of intelligence, nervous system, and vision.

Omega‐3 fatty acid consumption has been associated with reduced risk of several neurological diseases, and these fatty acids are essential for maintaining the structure and fluidity of neural membranes (Salvati and friends, 2006). 

Spinach is also source of omega-3

In the rat brain microvascular endothelial cells, Wang et al (2018) found thatt omega-3 fatty acids reduced lipid peroxidation in those cells, and reduced the amount of apoptosis cell. This result show that omega-3 fatty acid are protective against Alzheimer's Disease.

Since our body does not have machinery to synthesize these acids, so we can only obtain these essential fats from our diet.

The diet rich with omega‐3 fatty acids primarily from the ocean, coldwater fish and marine animals.

The omega-3 in the fish is related to the fat content in the species of fish. The darker colored flesh of fish, such as herring, salmon, tuna, and mackerel, the higher total fat content than lighter ones, such as cod, pollock, plounder, and grouper.

Eating just one meal of fish a week cause reducing the risk of Alzheimer's Disease something around 40 to 60 percent.

Beside fishes, egg and poultry are also contain omega-3 with lesser quantity than fishes.

For vegetarian, these essentials fats can be found from plant-based diets, such as walnut, flax seeds, chia seeds, seaweeds, spinach, and edamame.
