Food for Thought
Research from the November 2007 issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition shows that fish intake, in particular the intake of dietary omega-3 fatty acids in fish, may improve cognitive performance. And the more fish, the better. The subjects who consumed more fish scored better on cognitive performance tests than those whose ate less. No difference was shown between the consumption of lean versus fattier fish.
Most long-term care facilities are already serving fish on their menus. It would be interesting to see if residents choose to eat it regularly.
