EATING oily fish cuts the risk of memory loss and stroke by up to a quarter, according to a study yesterday.
Researchers found eating fish three times a week led to a reduction in harmful brain lesions that can trigger Alzheimer's disease and stroke.

It is thought that omega-3 fatty acids in fish oils may reduce inflammation of the brain and play a part in brain development and nerve cell regeneration.
Britons are already advised to eat fish at least twice a week, including one portion of oily fish.
