How To Keep Your Brain Healthy Even As You Age
August 8, 2008
Progressive and irreversible deterioration of brain function is amongst the cruellest symptoms of growing old. Taking a devastating toll on patient and family, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease has become the most feared prospect as people age.
As the number of people suffering from vascular dementia and Alzheimer’s disease rises, it has increased the pressure on medical research to come up with effective prevention and treatment.
New German research indicates that natural supplements are useful in helping delay the onset of the disease. An in vitro study shows that omega-3 fish oil and ginkgo balboa may delay mental deterioration by inhibiting degenerative processes in the brain. An omega-3 fish oil and ginkgo biloba combination successfully cuts the formation of early deposits or nanoplaques that are involved in the onset of dementia, in the brain by more than ten per cent.
The knowledge that omega-3 fish oil and ginkgo biloba benefit both heart and brain health, a Berlin research team is investigating whether fish oil acts on harmful brain deposits the same way it acts on deposits in coronary arteries. Though the findings of the investigation need to be confirmed, it can concluded from experiments that the initiation of nanoplaque formation is inhibited, indicating amyloid plaque formation is slowed down.
It appears ginkgo biloba’s anti-oxidant action reduces the level of the oxidised cholesterol particles, a brain health benefit in addition to that previously recorded. Bringing hope to the millions of men and women who worry about Alzheimer’s disease as they approach middle age, and who are already experiencing mild memory loss and declining brainpower associated with ageing, these findings bring hope to many. While, the results are quite clear, they do however need to be confirmed in a clinical trial.
So, while they are conducting tests and trials, why not up your Omega-3 fish oil and ginkgo biloba intake to play it safe!
