THE NEUROLOGIST

Paul Thompson, 40, professor of neurology at the University of Los Angeles, says:

My work on brain imaging shows that eating oily fish protects the brain against normal wear and tear, so the people who take fish oil may be on to something!

I don’t take fish oils because my wife and I eat a lot of fish. However, I do take calcium and vitamin D, as I have been diagnosed with osteoporosis.
