After a stroke, inflammation in the brain can exacerbate damage to brain cells. Omega-3s have strong anti-inflammatory properties, which may help reduce post-stroke inflammation, promoting better healing and potentially minimizing further brain damage.
Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), are a key component of brain cell membranes. They can help protect brain cells from damage and support their regeneration. This is important for stroke recovery, as it can aid in the repair of brain tissue affected by the stroke.
