STUDY SUGGESTS SUPPLEMENTATION PRODUCES SIMILAR EFFECTS ON BRAIN FUNCTION TO EXERCISE
A new study, published in The British Journal of Nutrition suggests that daily supplementation with an omega-3 fatty acid fish oil containing 1000mg of DHA plus supporting nutrients produces similar improvements in brain function to exercise in older women.
The new study was conducted by researchers at Bournemouth University and the University of Roehampton and examined the effects of supplementation and aerobic exercise on mobility and cognitive function in older women.
The study identified similar significant improvements in two key measures of brain function, verbal memory and executive function: ✓ Verbal memory: how well you can recall information; how easily you can remember words on a list.
✓ Executive function: Is the way your brain manages the information it receives, planning your actions and information.
The study examined those who were taking the supplement and not exercising and those who were not taking a supplement but exercising, compared to the placebo group and concluded that supplementation produces similar effects on brain function as exercise does.
The study was a semi-blinded, placebo-controlled trial in women aged over 60 years old (the mean age being 67 years) and the supplementation was administered for 24 weeks and exercise for the latter 12 weeks.
