3. Anxiety and Depression
Most people have experienced anxiety or depression at one point or another throughout the course of their lives, whether or not they’ve actually been diagnosed with any disorders. The symptoms associated with depression include loss of interest in life, lethargy, sadness, illogical fear, nervousness, worrisome thoughts, and a general dulling of their day to day experiences.
Research has shown that people who regularly consume omega 3 will have lower odds of becoming depressed at any point in their life. Some studies have even suggested that people taking omega 3 supplements could effectively treat various mental health problems such as chronic anxiety or depression.
According to the research conducted thus far, EPA is by far the best variation of omega 3 when it comes to preventing or treating depression. Another study concluded the EPA omega 3 was equally effective to Prozac when it comes to treating depression. Imagine that, the same performance without all the side effects of pill-popping.
