Daily Health Tip

Omega 3 fatty acids are nutrients that are anti-inflammatory and may help protect the brain from degenerative changes which can lead to Alzheimer’s, dementia and other cognitive decline issues.  Salmon and sardines are excellent sources.  Flax seeds, chia seeds and walnuts are also good plant sources.  Fish oil and black currant seed oil are also available in supplement form if you find it difficult to add these foods to your diet.

 

*a word of caution when selecting  fish oil supplement: buy from a practicing doctor of some kind since the products they carry are more likely to be 3^rd party tested for heavy metals and other contaminants than a general store bought product.
