Worried about memory loss ready for some memory gain, dementia is a general term for a group of conditions characterized by memory loss, limited social skills, struggles with problem solving and other impaired thinking abilities that interfere with daily life.
A new study shows that eating foods high in omega threes are crucial to lowering your risk of developing dementia. Some good sources of omega-3 fatty acids are actually found in fish.
I recommend adding two portions of 140 grams of fish into your diet, which include anchovies and carp, herring, salmon, and sardines. But if you can’t stomach the fishiness, I recommend any high quality omega three fatty acid to get those omega threes to start helping with your memory.
If you have any questions or concerns about dementia, feel free to call my office to set up an appointment.
I’m Dr. David Long, and that was the long story short!
