DHA for Mental Skills – the Evidence Continues

DHA is the preferred essential fatty acid for the structure of healthy brain cells. A variety of new research clearly shows that the higher the level of omega 3 oils like DHA in the diet and in the blood, the better the brain works.

DHA Protects Against Parkinson’s

A rather amazing mouse study has just shown that DHA, an important omega-3 essential fatty acid that is known to support healthy brain function, completely protected the brains of mice exposed to a known toxin that routinely produces Parkinson’s disease.

Folic Acid and DHA for Cognitive Function and Alzheimer’s

New research is explaining the importance of folic acid and DHA for improved cognitive function and prevention of neuro-degeneration. Folic acid is found to lower the brain and cardiovascular irritant, homocysteine. It directly improves brain function and helps to raise the levels of DHA in the blood. DHA is known to help generate new nerve growth, improve nerve transmission and connectivity, enhance nerve-related memory factors, and reduce brain inflammation.

Fish Oil Improves Circulation in Healthy People

The essential fatty acids in fish oil, especially DHA, are now recognized as an excellent cardiovascular support nutrient. A new study in healthy younger men and women shows that fish oil at a small dose of 1 gram per day was able to improve the function of their arteries, helping them dilate easier so blood could flow better. It also helped reduce their resting heart rate, meaning the heart did not have to work as hard to get its job done.

Fish Oil Cuts Risk for Age-related Macular Degeneration

The essential fatty acids of fish oil (such as DHA) have been shown to reduce the incidence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) by 30% over a 12-year study period involving 1837 people. The authors suggest that their study supports “the development of low-cost and easily implemented preventive interventions for progression to advanced AMD.”

Essential Fatty Acids Increase Blood Flow to Muscles During Exercise

Exercise is rejuvenating and life-extending. The ability to get a good response to exercise depends on a variety of factors, with a net result of improved oxygen utilization. Essential fatty acids, especially DHA, are health promoting substances. A new study shows that essential fatty acids enhance blood flow to muscles during exercise.

Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids Guard Against Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration is one of the significant problems of aging. A new study shows that individuals with the highest intake of omega 3 essential fatty acids are the least likely to develop advanced AMD.
