Sorry for the long read but this is worth it!
I know it has been said before and is on main pages but I really wanted to tell people that Omega 3 faty acid supplements actully seem to work very well.
Meg I think pointed it out to me in addition to Vitamin B that I was taking and have since tried omega 3 supplement and it seems to relieve depression a little and in turn anxiety and helps you to breathe easier.
It has had such a good effect on me that I had to post it as it is often left out.
There is a little research going on moreso recently regarding fish oil and depression relationships. Most countries that eat lots of fish have almost no depression in comparison and they think there is definately a link. I agree.
I dont eat fish at all and most people dont eat the reccommnded amount.
I dont like supplements in general but natural fish oil is just that. Oil extracted from fish (omega 3 fatty acid) and cannot hurt you in any way.
It also helps arthritus. You cant take too much (unlike some vitamins) ok! And its very cheap!
I take 3 x pills a day which is reccomended if you dont eat fish (3000mg) and up to 12000mg for arthritus. 200 pills cost me $14.95 of best brand (so about $4 pounds I think).
Try them please. They seem to help me a lot.
You can also get it from natural milk (goats milk I think that is) or nuts convert it into omega 3 or flax seed. Anyway, get some omega 3 fatty acids in ya! Fish and omega 3 acids actually PROVEN to stop the development of many diseases too and VITAL to good health so if not for anything but health, take some (esp if you dont eat fish a few times a week - who does?).
P.S. I will reinforce, it cant hurt you or overdose and buy the natural fish oil tested for mercury (good brands is just oil extracted from fish and comes in capsules so u dont taste it etc). I say it cant hurt from the studies I ahve read but I am not a Dr so always consult. I am only going on what I read and huge intakes could make some things worse if you have them so consult Dr but studies with huge amounts show it has no bad effects on people in general. (thoguht I would clarify that so I dont get into trouble)
P.S. Any comments welcome and tell me how you go please. [^]
Cheers
