Effects of Treatment on Cognition and Mobility
Effects of Treatment on Cognition and Mobility: Click here to view PDF Background and Objective: A complex relationship exists between mobility and cognition with studies demonstrating how in older people a decline in gait performance often precedes or coexists with a decline in cognition. Consequently this study aimed to determine whether a DHA rich multi- […]
Omega-3 intake prevents age-related macular degeneration
Omega-3 intake prevents age-related macular degeneration: The latest review of the science linking omega-3 intake to lower incidence of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) has concluded that the potential therapeutic benefit of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation is supported by the role of these fatty acids in normal retinal physiology, their anti-inflammatory properties, and the putative role […]

Fish oil fatty acids and anti-oxidant nutrients reduce risk of age-related macular degeneration in people with a genetic susceptibility
Age-related macular degeneration A new study found that among people with a genetic susceptibility to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), those who ate more zinc, beta-carotene, lutein/zeaxanthin and the omega-3 eicospaentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) cut their risk of developing the condition by up to a third compared with those who ate less of […]
High dietary intake of EPA/DHA, zinc, beta-carotene and lutein/zeaxanthin reduces the risk of early AMD in people with high genetic risk of developing the condition
Topics: Omega-3 fatty acids, docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), zinc, anti-oxidants, Vitamins A, C & E, beta-carotene, lutein/zeaxanthin. Objective: To investigate whether omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, Vitamins A, C & E, beta-carotene and lutein/zeaxanthin can reduce the genetic risk of early AMD conferred by […]
