Healthy Fats May Reduce Risk of Alzheimer's Disease

A recent paper published in Neurology found that consuming foods high in omega-3, such as fish and nuts, resulted in lower blood levels of beta-amyloid in the blood. Previous studies have suggested that blood levels of beta-amyloid correlated with brain levels of beta-amyloid that is associated with Alzheimer's disease. This is just one more reason to consume foods high in omega-3 fatty acids. Other reasons include lowering inflammation, cardiovascular benefits, improving mood disorders, improving dry skin and eczema, and decreasing joint pain.
