\"\"Un estudio realizado por cient\u00edficos de la Universidad de California en Los \u00c1ngeles, Estados Unidos, se\u00f1ala que entre menos se consume pescado, menor ser\u00e1 su volumen cerebral, que equivale a 2 a\u00f1os de envejecimiento estructural del cerebro.<\/p>\n

Los especialistas indican que en el primer estudio se analiz\u00f3 los gl\u00f3bulos rojos de \u00e1cidos grasos omega-3 (que representan la ingesta de \u00e1cidos grasos que se encuentran en los peces), los vol\u00famenes del cerebro y el rendimiento cognitivo. A todos los voluntarios que participaron en el estudio se les hizo una resonancia magn\u00e9tica del volumen cerebral, as\u00ed como una serie de test cognitivos.<\/p>\n

Adem\u00e1s, los cient\u00edficos establecieron las cantidades de la alipoprote\u00edna APOE4, involucrada en una mayor sensibilidad a contraer el mal de Alzheimer, as\u00ed como los factores de riesgo vasculares y el \u00edndice de masa corporal de los participantes.<\/p>\n

Los datos revelaron que las personas con menores niveles de \u00e1cido docosahexaenoico (DHA) ten\u00edan un volumen cerebral menor en comparaci\u00f3n con los que consum\u00edan pescado.<\/p>\n

Asimismo tambien revelar\u00f3n que los que menos omega-3 inger\u00edan eran los que puntuaban m\u00e1s bajo en la funci\u00f3n ejecutiva (c\u00f3mo resolver problemas o pensar en abstracto), adem\u00e1s de poseer menor memoria visual.<\/p>\n

\nWant a younger brain? Try eating omega-3<\/p>\n

Your brain may look and act \u00abolder\u00bb than it really is if your diet is low in omega-3 fatty acids, a new study suggests. The nutrient is often found in fish.
\nResearchers found that people with low omega-3 fatty acid levels had smaller brains, and did worse on tests of memory and thinking skills, compared with people who had higher omega-3 levels.<\/p>\n

\u00abThere have been several studies that have shown that omega is beneficial to the heart,\u00bb said study co-author Dr. Zaldy Tan, a geriatrician at the University of California, Los Angeles. \u00abIt may be beneficial to brain health as well.\u00bb The study was published Monday in the journal Neurology.<\/p>\n

As we age, our brains get smaller, and previous studies have linked brain shrinkage with declines in mental functioning, dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
\nAccording to the American Heart Association, omega-3 fatty acids boost heart health, reducing the risk of dying of cardiovascular disease. <\/p>\n

Although the study shows a link between lower levels of omega-3 and smaller brains, Tan said \u00abit’s premature to recommend that people take omega-3 just for brain health.\u00bb
\nHe said that improving vascular health by lowering blood pressure and decreasing inflammation could be one potential mechanism than explains the link, but \u00abnobody knows for sure yet.\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
