Eating Fish assists Brain Cells

DHA is found as an omega-3 fatty acid, and has been well noted to assist with heart-health. Recently, researches have linked higher intakes to reduced risk Alzheimers and the cognitive decline that follows its onset. Published in the "Archives of Neurology"; they found that people over the age of 65, who ate at least one DHA-rich fish meal per week had 60% less risk of Alzheimer's.
DHA makes up most of the cell membranes in our brain. Some research suggests that 200mg of DHA per day (3 times what the average American takes in), may have many benefits.
