Omega-3 fatty acids are heart healthy - they may also boost mood, behavior, and personality
University of Pittsburgh researchers have found that volunteers with lower blood levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty are more likely to be moody and depressed.
“A number of previous studies have linked lower levels of omega-3 to clinically significant conditions such as major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, schizophrenia, substance abuse and attention-deficit disorder,” Sarah Conklin, a postdoctoral scholar with the psychiatry department’s Cardiovascular Behavioral Medicine Program, said in prepared statement.
“However, few studies have shown that these relationships also occur in healthy adults. This study opens the door for future research looking at what effect increasing omega-3 intake, whether by eating omega-3 rich foods like salmon, or taking fish-oil supplements, has on people’s mood,” Conklin said.
