Eating fish regularly can help protect the aging brain, new research confirms.
In cognitively healthy older adults who were followed long term, weekly consumption of baked or broiled fish was positively associated with increased gray matter volumes in the hippocampus, precuneus, posterior cingulate, and orbital frontal cortex.
"Our study shows that people who ate a diet that included baked or broiled, but not fried, fish have larger brain volumes in regions associated with memory and cognition," senior investigator James T. Becker, PhD, professor of psychiatry, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pennsylvania, noted in a statement.
The study was published online July 29 in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine.
