It has been specifically found that the docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) present in the Blue fish protects the areas of the brain that develop this disease.
As commented on Dr. Alex Sala, author of the research “To the benefits that we already knew that the consumption of oily fish has on cardiovascular health, we can now add that it provides greater brain resilience in Alzheimer's disease. Especially in those people with a higher genetic risk of developing it ”.
In this study, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which is very present in oily fish, has been investigated. Although this component is also manufactured naturally, the human body does it inefficiently. The way to complement it and have greater protection is by consuming this type of fish. Although there are certain vegetables who have a high level of Omega-3 as is the case with soybean and walnuts, the vegetable origin of Omega-3 does not provide the docosahexaenoic acid that protects against this disease.
