The so-called "junk" food (fast food, chips, processed meats, soda and other foods that contain a lot of fat and sugar) adversely affects the human brain, disrupting the process of neurogenesis - the generation of new nerve cells. but Omega-3 Contained in fish oil May prevent the development of this negative process, stimulating areas of the brain that control food intake, learning and memory.
Initially, scientists from Liverpool decided to collect data of a plurality of previous research on the omega-3 to identify and help these fatty acids in the diet.

However, reception Omega-3 able not only to stop the negative process, but also to put it back, restoring neurogenesis. "(Read More)
