DrBeen#50 Omega-3 and Exercise for Brain Health

DrBeen#50 Omega-3 and Exercise for Brain Health Continuing with our series about brain health and lifestyle choices, today we will discuss omega-3 fish oil and exercise. Omega-3 fish oil or omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n3-PUFA) have a rich presence in our brain tissue. n3-PUFA helps keep astrocyte from becoming activated. Hence, it reduces inflammation in the brain and also keeps aquaporin 4 (AQP4) channels polarized and on the foot processes of the astrocytes. The result is a better glymphatic flow, which washes away more beta amyloids and helps protect or stall the progress of dementia.
