Healthy fats found in fish, nuts, seeds and olive oil may help preserve memory and prevent age-related cognitive decline, University of Illinois scientists report..
The study found that the omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids found in these foods protect the areas of the brain most affected by aging..
A study of older people between the ages of 65 and 75 showed that people with high levels of polyunsaturated fats in their blood were much better at solving cognitive tasks.. This led the experts to conclude that regular consumption of fish, nuts, seeds and olive oil may have neuroprotective properties, positively affecting brain health..
Experts remind that omega-3 fatty acids are present in large quantities in salmon, walnuts and olive oil, while high levels of omega-6 fatty acids can be found in palm, soybean and sunflower oils..
