Research Proves That the DHA Consumption Can Reduce Stress and Making Happy


A new study identifies the impact of eating more fish oil showed the effects of inflammation. But surprisingly, seen also the effect of reduced anxiety in healthy young people.

These findings certainly suggest that if young people are able to get the benefit of such, the elderly and people at high risk for certain diseases may get more benefits. This finding has also been published in the journal Brain, Behavior and Immunity.

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fats, such as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), has long been regarded as positive for food additives. Previous studies suggest that compounds that may play a role in reducing the levels of cytokines in the body of compounds that cause inflammation and may even reduce depression.

Psychological stress has repeatedly been shown to increase cytokine production, so the researchers wondered if increasing omega-3 may reduce the process by reducing inflammation.

Although research shows the positive impact of omega-3 supplements in reducing anxiety and inflammation, the researchers have not been willing to recommend adding this supplement to the daily menu. "Perhaps it is too early to recommend the use of omega-3 supplements to the whole community, especially given the cost and limited supply of fish oil," said Martha Belury, associate professor of human nutrition and researchers of this study. "People just have to consider increasing your intake of these nutrients is through food," he said as quoted from ScienceDaily
