Abstract

It is often said that fish is ‗brain food‘, and you may have read the speculation that omega-3 in the diet can help reduce your risk of dementia by improving heart and brain health. There is good evidence that eating fish, which contains omega-3, is good for your health. There have been reports that it may reduce the risk of developing dementia, especially when it is eaten as part of a healthy diet. However, there isn‘t very strong evidence that omega-3 itself is behind this benefit. Since there is now no effective treatment for neurodegenerative illnesses like Alzheimer‘s, a dietary approach may be a promising way to prevent or delay their progression. It is now well known that omega-3 fatty acids have positive effects. The effects of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid supplementation or dietary intake on neurodegenerative illnesses including Parkinson‘s and Alzheimer‘s disease will be examined in this comprehensive study. Omega-3 fatty acid therapy is a useful and biologically tenable strategy in the early management of neurodegenerative illnesses since it is highly tolerated and safe.
