Fish Oil Rivals Antidepressants in Clinical Trial

This blog is taken from information from the Vital Choices newsletter.

( I recommend everyone check out their site. Incredible organic and wild food items)

Clinical trials are now confirming that omega 3 fish oil decreases and helps with depression.

Fish oil trials were done on participants with major depression, who could not tolerate anti- depressants, who refused them despite medical recommendation or who were not helped by the drugs.  The Fish Oil had overwhelming results. More clinical trials are continuously ongoing all generating very positive results.

On another note people with ADD or ADHD also seem to be helped dramatically by taking fish oils. Their focus seems to be greatly enhanced.  

Supplementation is great (if  you are unsure what dosage or type please contact me for help) as well as eating large amounts of omega 3's. Salmon is the food most people turn to when looking for their omegas but other great sources are are hemp seed and flax seed oil.

Hemp seeds are the only known food that contain the exact ratio of essential fatty acids. (one part omega 3 to three parts omega 6) Flax seeds and flax oil provide therapeutic quantities of omega 3, yet hemp seeds provide a long term stable source of omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9. 

Easiest way to integrate hemp seeds is to add them to your smoothies, protein shakes, yogurt and fruit, or sprinkle over a salad.  Easily available at any health store or Whole Foods.
