A Lifetime of Good Health

Lifestage 1 Depression (Adults)

[ Infancy and Childhood | Asthma and Allergies | Dyspraxia, Dyslexia and Hyperactivity (ADHD) | Depression (Adults) ]

Several studies have shown low blood levels of the long chain Omega-3's in depressed people; one major study looked at the impact of giving Fish Oil to a group of severely depressed (suicidal) patients that had been hospitalised because of the severity of their condition. After 4 months the Fish Oil treated patients were so much better, that the trial was stopped, because it was considered wrong to continue to deny the benefits of Fish Oil to the patients who were in the control group, and who were treated with olive oil.

Because the basis for a life of good health are laid down in childhood, a healthy, regular intake of the long chain Omega-3 fatty acids from cradle to grave will help protect against many of the modern diseases that are the source of chronic disabling conditions and the cause of much premature death.
