Dha Story How Nature's Super Nutrient Can Save Your Life

DHA is an essential building block of the membranes of brain cells and retinal photoreceptors. In fact, each and every cell membrane in the body gains strength and flexibility from this omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid. DHA has been shown to deactivate the enzymes that destroy cartilage and is therefore useful in protecting against arthritis. In addition, it is a biochemical sponge that can literally soak up the free radicals which are responsible for a host of degenerative diseases. And low levels of DHA have been implicated in ADD-attention deficit disorder-Alzheimer's and depression. In fact, studies reveal that brains of Alzheimer's patients have 30 percent less DHA than brains of comparably aged people who do not have the disease.In The DHA Story: How Nature's Super Nutrient Can Save Your Life, noted physician and author Robert Abel Jr., M.D., delivers the scientific evidence for the importance of this amazing nutrient.
