A team of California researchers has found that a diet rich in fatty oils from cold-water fish can halt the progression of dementia even in those who may be genetically predisposed to Alzheimerâs disease. UCLA neuroscientist Greg M Cole says that you could buy the therapy at a supermarket or drug store. His study showed that animals fed a diet enriched with DHA, or docosahexanenoic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid found in relatively high concentrations in salmon, mackerel and sardines, dramatically cut the harmful brain plaque that marks Alzheimerâs disease and appears to precipitate memory decline.
