Researchers asked 260 mentally healthy participants what foods they normally ate. Through MRI brain scans the researchers measured the amount of grey matter in the brain. A high volume of grey matter suggests a healthy brain. When this volume decreases, it suggests that brain cells are shrinking. Participants who ate baked or broiled fish weekly showed to have more grey matter in the brain and less complications related to trouble thinking or Alzheimer's disease. Those who consumed fried fish did not show the same benefits.
So, if you're a fan of fish, you may want to consider making it a weekly dinner option; it may be a piece of the puzzle that helps you stay sharp for longer!
