fish keeps one smart

a fish a day keeps you smarter each day. this could be the catch phrase as a result of three separate studies on fish consumption.

a Norwegian study conducted on 2,000 elderly people found that those who ate more than 10 grams of fish per day had markedly better cognitive performance than those who ate less than 10 grams of a fish a day.

a Dutch study of 404 people, ages 50 to 70, found that those who had higher omega-3 fatty acid concentration showed lower decrease in cognitive measures.

and a New Zealand study of more than 2,400 people showed consistent association with high presence of omega-3 with physical and mental health. the studies were published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

according to Dr. Irwin Rosenberg, of the Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy at Tufts University in Boston, while there is a growing evidence of such an association, there is a need for randomized clinical trials to confirm the link.
