Foods such as fish, which are high in omega-3 fatty acids, have been shown to help prevent Alzheimer's in rats and researchers think this benefit may also be found in humans. Working with rats that were specially bred to develop Alzheimer's, researchers found a 70 percent reduction in plaque buildup in the brains of mice that were fed a diet fortified with docosahexenoic acid (DHA), an omega-3 fatty acid. This plaque buildup is the cause of dementia and memory loss in Alzheimer's patients.
