How a fishy diet can help autistic children. Children with autism can make great improvements if they are fed fish oils, scientists are claiming. They have discovered that two-thirds of those with the condition, which restricts the ability to communicate and make sense of the world, have a deficiency in crucial fatty acids contained in the oils. Children treated with fish oil supplements showed better concentration and their disrupted sleep patterns improved. The positive effects of the oils, found in trout, mackerel, herring and sardines, are thought to be due to omega-3 fatty acids which are essential in developing and maintaining brain power.
Anti-aging. As if the benefits of fish oil on heart health and arthritis were not enough, it is believed that fish oil also helps with anti-aging as well. Omega-3 fatty acids slow the rate at which protective caps on the end of chromosomes shorten, thus increasing the lifespan of cells.
