OMEGA- FOR BOOSTING YOUTH ‘S BRAIN POWER

                Hye peeps ! Assalamualaikum...:) You know  how important Omega-3 for our body ? our brain? hehehe..So … last week I has done read from STARS  ..Then, I interesting about the article story about Omega -3 can boosting youth’s brain power.  As we know a small study shows that increased omega-3 intake among young adults could serve to heighten their brain power even while they’re at top of their ‘cognitive’ game.

While a slew of studies have vaunted the health benefits of omega-3s for everything from cognitive function to eyesight and heart health in older adults, researchers from the University of Pittsburgh claim that theirs is the first study of its kind for focusing on the impact of the fatty acid on young people.

For the study, scientist recruited 13 healthy young men and women between the ages of 18 and 25 who were instructed to boost their omega-3 intake with supplements over six months. “So, many of the  previous studies have been done with the elderly or people with medical conditions, leaving this unique population of young adults unaddressed”, said lead researcher Matthew Muldoon in a statement. “But what about our highest-functioning periods? Can we help the brain achieve its full potential by adapting our healthy behaviors in our young adult life ? We found that we absolutely can.”

Before the experiment , blood samples were analyzed for baseline measurements, and subjects also performed a working memory test that required remembering  a series of letters and numbers. After six month of taking omega-3  supplement, participants  performed the test again. The results of the study found correlation between improved cognitive function and increased omega-3 intake, researchers say. Dietary sources of omega -3, meanwhile, include fatty fish like salmon, sardines and mackerel, as well as soy beans , flaxseed oil and walnuts.

 What  I can conclude from this… we must take omega-3 supplements especially as a student to improve our memory and brain power . So, that’s all from me  Keep Health Guys !!! XOXO
