🧠 Omega-3s & Mental Health: Food for Your Mood 🐟
New research from the UK found a powerful connection between blood levels of Omega-3s and mental health. Individuals with the highest Omega-3 levels—especially EPA—had a 15–33% lower risk of lifetime depression and a 19–22% lower risk of anxiety. 📉✨
While Omega-3 supplements can be helpful, they can also go rancid, making whole-food sources the gold standard. Focus on fatty fish like 🐟 wild-caught salmon, trout, mackerel, herring, sardines, and anchovies, aiming for 3–4 servings per week.
🌱 Plant sources provide ALA Omega-3s, which convert inefficiently to EPA and DHA—but they’re still incredibly nourishing. Think flaxseed, chia seeds, walnuts, and h**p hearts.
