NEW YORK — August 5, 2014 — “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,” said James T. Becker, a professor of psychiatry at University of Pittsburgh’s school of medicine.
Baked or broiled fish once a week is good for your kid’s brain, regardless of how much omega-3 fatty acids it contains, says a study.
“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,” said James T. Becker, a professor of psychiatry at University of Pittsburgh’s school of medicine.
They found that people who ate baked or broiled fish at least once a week had greater grey matter brain volumes in areas of the brain associated with memory (4.3 percent) and cognition (14 percent).
They were more likely to have a college education than those who did not eat fish regularly.
But no association was found between the brain differences and blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
