EP- 167  Omega-3 & Cognitive Health 🧠 (ওমেগা-৩ ও মস্তিষ্কের স্বাস্থ্য): Prevent Memory Loss & Brain Decline | Bengali Wellness Podcast

Cognitive decline refers to a gradual loss of mental abilities such as memory, attention, learning, reasoning, and problem-solving. It’s often associated with aging, but can also result from poor lifestyle, chronic diseases, or neurological conditions like Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. When cognitive decline progresses, it can affect daily functioning and quality of life.

How Omega-3 Helps Prevent Cognitive Decline Omega-3 fatty acids—mainly DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid)—are essential for brain health. DHA is a major structural component of the brain and retina, while EPA has anti-inflammatory effects. Here’s how they help:

Supports Brain Structure
DHA is vital for neuronal membranes and synaptic function.Helps maintain neuronal plasticity, which is crucial for learning and memory.
Reduces Inflammation
Chronic inflammation in the brain contributes to cognitive decline.Omega-3s lower inflammatory markers (like CRP and cytokines), protecting brain cells.
Enhances Neurotransmission
Improves communication between neurons, supporting memory, focus, and learning.
Protects Against Neurodegeneration
Omega-3s help reduce amyloid-beta accumulation, a protein linked to Alzheimer’s.Supports antioxidant defense in the brain, protecting cells from oxidative stress.
Improves Blood Flow
Omega-3s enhance cerebral circulation, ensuring the brain gets enough oxygen and nutrients.

How to Include Omega-3 for Brain Health

Fatty fish: Salmon, mackerel, sardines, troutPlant sources: Flaxseeds, chia seeds, walnuts, hemp seeds (contain ALA, which can convert to DHA/EPA)Supplements: Fish oil or algae-based DHA supplements (especially if you don’t eat fish)

Tip: Regular consumption (at least 2–3 servings of fatty fish per week or a high-quality omega-3 supplement) along with a healthy lifestyle—adequate sleep, exercise, mental stimulation—can help slow cognitive decline.
