Canned food is a food that cannot be missing in any table due to its multiple benefits. A study conducted by Spanish researcher Aleix Sala-Vila at the Fatty Acids Research Institute (FARI) has shown a link between tin cans and the prevention of Alzheimer’s disease.
Research conducted by Aleix Sala-Vila at the Fatty Acids Research Institute showed that people with high levels of DHA in their blood are 49% less likely to develop Alzheimer’s disease in their lifetime than those with lower levels. This study was recently published in the scientific journal Nutrients, where it suggests that the supply of DHA in the daily diet doubles the chances of suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.
On the other hand, it was also demonstrated that the presence of omega-3 in the diet could slow down the development of the disease. This fat is very present in several types of fish and seafood, such as anchovies, salmon, sardines, herring, tuna, mackerel, permit or trout. To carry out the aforementioned study, the specialists analyzed data from 1,490 participants without dementia aged 65 years.
Omega-3 is an antioxidant that works in our body. The researchers compared DHA counts in red blood cells (where it is responsible for producing hormones) and found that those children with the highest quintile of the antioxidant had a 49% lower risk of being affected by Alzheimer’s disease.
Researchers have revealed that an increase of DHA in red blood cells could be the solution to add 4.7 additional years of life without neurodegenerative diseases. They argue that an increase in this indicator would increase the reduction in the risk of developing Alzheimer’s, particularly for people who have the APOE-e4 allele or whose family has a history of this disease.
