Senior's Memory May Improve By Eating More Fish
Misplaced your glasses lately? Can't remember where you parked the car at the mall? Well, Study findings suggest that you may be able to lessen the frequency of these "embarrassing forgetful moments' by consuming extra fish every week. The more fish you eat, the greater the person's effect, according to the research done in Norway.
Researchers noted that elderly women and men who consumed more fish regularly scored much better on several tests, such as memory, attention, orientation, visual conception, and verbal fluency tests and spatial motor skills.
1,951 of the study group reported consuming ten or more grams per day of fresh, frozen, or canned fish and seafood, or fish products such as cod liver and fish oil, the investigators report in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. The remaining eighty participants ate less than 10 grams daily.

Study group that reported more frequent consumption of fatty or lean fish as their main meal performed significantly better in five of the six cognitive tests, compared with those who did not eat fatty or lean fish.
Processed fish or fish sandwiches were associated with better performance on three of the cognitive tests, the researchers noted. In contrast, the seniors who consumed only fish oils performed better on just one of the tests.
