There is no denying the benefits of fish oil. Because it is a source of omega-3 fatty acids. Now recent research has found that it can also reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s.
For those who are unable to include fish oil in their diet, fish oil supplements can provide many health benefits. These benefits include the following.
Cardiovascular health benefits
Eye protection
Healthy fetal development
Memory and other mental health benefits
Now a study has found that fish oil supplements may be beneficial for older adults who are at risk for Alzheimer’s disease.
The study, published in JAMA Network Open, found that people who were given fish oil had less damage to nerve cells, but no benefit was seen in people without the healthy gene.
It should be noted that some of the health claims for fish oil are controversial, and taking supplements may pose health risks in some people.
