Tag: Brain volume

According to a study published in the journal *Neurology*, postmenopausal women with higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids had larger total brain volumes eight years later compared to peers with lower levels. This finding raises an intriguing question: can omega-3 increase brain size or does it play a more protective role in maintaining brain volume?

According to findings from the Rotterdam Study, a better diet quality, rich in vegetables, fish, and whole grains, is positively associated with larger total brain, white matter, and gray matter volumes. So, is a better diet quality relates to larger brain tissue volumes? Mounting evidence suggests a significant correlation between dietary patterns and structural brain integrity, challenging the notion that brain size is entirely predetermined by genetics.
