In adults there is indication that fish oil is important for heart health, it can help [...] Nutrition and the links to depression and mood are topics I have written about numerous times and I am highly interested in. In particular I have been paying attention to the extensive work on long chain omega 3 fatty acids for the treatment of depression. The long chain omega 3 fat, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) which is found [...] A piece of research (1) recently published in the Journal of Clinical Psychiatry has concluded that “The long-term treatment outcome shows that stimulants are effective in adult ADHD and side effects tend to be mild”. The most common treatment for anyone, children and adults, diagnosed as suffering with ADHD are strong, psychostimulant drugs (e.g. [...] The long chain Omega 3 fatty acids acids, EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) have been in the news again. This time a study (1) has linked these healthy fats to a reduced risk of colon cancer. Long chain omega 3 fats are found in oily fish such as trout, salmon, mackerel and [...] In October 2008 I wrote a piece which looked at how nutrition may be able to help women suffering with endometriosis. A newly published study (1) has found that eating a diet rich in omega 3 fats seems to reduced the risk of developing endometriosis, whereas eating a diet containing trans-fats may actually increase [...] Heart disease is a topic I have written extensively about here in these blog posts. In 2008 I wrote two posts entitled ‘Do you know how to look after your heart’ part 1 and part 2. In part two I wrote extensively about refined carbohydrates and blood sugar levels and how these appear to [...] A new study (1) has found that taking a daily fish oil supplement that is rich in long-chain omega 3 fatty acids may help to prevent against psychotic disorders. The study(1) was carried out to see whether a daily long chain omega 3 fatty acid supplement could help reduce the rate of progression to [...] |
