Why salmon protects your brain

On Wednesday, I showed you how cinnamon can help prevent and treat Alzheimer’s. I also showed you several other nutrients that have brain-protecting properties. But there’s one relatively unknown nutrient that I didn’t mention. And according to a new study, this super nutrient can have a dramatic impact on the health of your brain.

The researchers conducted this fantastic study on humans! They noted that people getting dementia had higher levels of rancid fatty acids in their blood cell phospholipids. They set to lower that damage with the nutrient astaxanthin.

Fish Oil Doesn’t Protect Your Brain

For years, fish oil has been one of the top-selling products for allegedly protecting your heart. Many studies suggest its protective abilities. I’ve shown you in recent months that there’s an even better way to protect your heart. Now the focus of fish-oil protection has shifted to your brain. Some studies indicate fish oil can prevent dementia. But I’ve had my doubts.

I believe the claims about fish oil are exaggerated. I’ve felt for some time that these claims simply can’t hold up when the oils are studied with solid scientific methods. Now there’s proof that I was correct.

Before we look at this proof, let me start by saying the following: If marine-based oil supplements were effective for anything, it would be with respect to brain function. The brain has much more DHA/EPA than other tissues in your body. If dementia was due to a deficiency in fatty acid derivatives like DHA, then resolving the deficiency (with supplements) should help.
