Eating Fish Reduces Risk of Alzheimer’s

Summary:

     In a recent study, it has been shown that people who consume baked or broiled fish at least once a week are improving their brain health and are at a lower risk to develop Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s disease is an incurable, progressive brain disease that slowly destroys memory and cognitive skills. As many as 5.1 Americans may have Alzheimer’s disease. Consuming fish promotes stronger neurons in the brains gray matter by making them stronger and healthier. Gray matter is crucial to brain health.

Why I chose this article:

I chose this article because I thought it was interesting that by just doing one simple thing, it could prevent many struggles for you in the future. Imagine not being able to remember your childhood, your first kiss, your children, even the person you love. Imagine being confused all the time, not knowing what’s going on. Imagine how your friends and family would be feeling, not being able to do anything, just watching you suffer. To me, that sounds like a pretty horrible life. So, even though I dont like fish that much, I think I may just start to try and eat more of it whenever I can. It might be wise for you to do the same.
