Omega-3 fatty acids help the brain concentrate on thinking

Recent research by US and Norwegian scientists has discovered that omega-3 fatty acids and brain processing information have a binding relationship.

The results published in the journal "Behavioural Neuroscience" show that if the amount of Omega-3 taken in the body is low, the ability to concentrate on the symptoms is disturbed, even causing schizophrenia.

Studies show that Omega-3 fatty acids contained in fish such as mackerel, tuna, star anise, extract, etc. are considered to be brain-nutritious foods, especially Omega-3 fatty acids "Eicosapentaten "(EPA) and" Docosahexaensaeure "(DHA) play a very important role for brain and nerve cells.

Scientists have experimented with 4 groups of pregnant mice and received distinctly different results in the new generation.

The group of mice fed foods without Omega-3 fatty acids, the other three groups fed foods containing different types of fatty acids and different amounts. After that, give them repeated exposure to loud sounds and before that a small sound signal to put them into a state must be prepared to listen to those sounds again and again.

The results showed that mice receiving DHA and EPA fatty acids in the diet reacted less fearfully to high-intensity sounds, and the mice that did not receive fatty acids in the food would often fall into the state. Be scared too fast. Since then, scientists have concluded that mice receiving less fatty acids may lead to a lack of function in the brain.

Previous studies with patients believed to have schizophrenia also found that the level of fatty acids in the brain was lower than in healthy people. More and more evidence suggests the very important significance of Omega-3 fatty acids in the brain and this conclusion will open an opportunity for new treatments for the disease. /.
