Vitamin D, Omega-3 Helps Beat Alzheimer’s

Consumption of foods like fish, eggs and milk that are rich in vitamin D3 and omega-3 fatty acids can prevent Alzheimers disease, according to a new study.

It enhances the immune system’s ability to clear the brain of amyloid plaques, one of the hallmarks of  Alzheimers disease.

Scientists identified key genes and signaling networks regulated by vitamin D3 and the omega-3 fatty acid that may help control inflammation and improve plaque clearance. A serving of fish twice a week and an hour in morning sun is known to be beneficial for overall health.
