How Do I Use Omega-3 Oils Or Fish To Ease Depression?

Something Fishy About Depression

Some studies have found that folks who consume lots of fish, especially salmon, trout, mackeral, and sardines, have 1/10 the rate of depression than those who don't eat fish. These type fish are abundant in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA & DHA), which many researchers believe are very important to the health of neuron or brain cells. If you suffer just a tad of depression, increasing your intake of these type fish may offer the lift your spirit needs, BUT if you're taking a stand against moderate depression, supplements are your better choice. Psychiatrist, Dr. Jonathan Zuess, generally recommends 10 g a day of DHA & EPA, which can add up to as many as 10 fish oil capsules daily. So, take them in divided doses with meals. *Better heart health is an extra bonus when you take this supplement!
