A recent study published in the Journal of Neurology
presented compelling evidence that Omega-3 is essential to keeping your mind
sharp, particularly in the latter years.
Blood levels taken of 1,575 dementia free adults, whose
average age was 67, showed a high correlation between superior visual and
abstract memory and elevated levels of Omega-3.
“We feel that omega-3’s reduce vascular pathology and thus reduce the
rate of brain aging,” said Dr. Zaldy S. Tan, the lead author of the study and
associate professor of medicine at the University
of California , Los Angeles .
Add to this Omega-3’s heart protective qualities and you
might well wonder if you have adequate levels in your system. From a dietary standpoint, flax seeds,
walnuts and sardines are your best bet, as well as fatty fish such as anchovies,
herring, and salmon. But to insure you
are sufficiently protected, the American Heart Association recommends taking a
1000mg daily dose of Omega-3 supplements.
Many practitioners feel that this is still not enough recommending doses
as high as 4000MG/day for an adult men.
At Rowe Chiropractic Offices, you can pick up superior
quality Omega-3 supplements in liquid or gel cap form or if easier, order
through our website.
As always, wishing you a lifetime of health, happiness,
vitality, and longevity.
Yours in health,
Dr. David Rowe
