Go Fish!

By Lumos Labs Science Associate Paul Li, MS Neuroscience.


Brain_foodOne of the top brain foods you can have in your diet is fish. This brain food, also in pill form, is a good source of omega-3 fatty acids that the body alone cannot produce. Recently, scientists from UCLA further discovered that omega-3 fatty acid docosahexaenoic acid, or DHA, increases the production of a protein called LR11, which is known to destroy the beta amyloid plaques that are associated with Alzheimer’s. A fish diet may possibly be a deterrent against this debilitating neurodegenerative disease. With that said, take care of that brain of yours by eating right and exercising, both physically and mentally.

    I’d rather have fish fat pills, because fishes have heavy metals and other toxic stuff in their organisms, due to sea and rivers pollution.
