Jump directly to: conventional view | alternative view | resources | bottom line What you need to know - Conventional View• Researchers studied 55 healthy adults, questioning them about their omega-3 intake and taking magnetic resonance images of their brains. Higher intake of omega-3s was significantly correlated with a higher volume of brain matter in the areas associated with the regulation of mood and emotion.• In a prior study, the same researchers had discovered a correlation between blood levels of omega-3s and a positive life outlook. People with lower omega-3 levels were more likely to be impulsive and have a negative outlook. People with higher levels were more likely to have a positive mood and outlook. • The new study suggests that omega-3s may play a role in the structuring and improvement of mood-regulating areas of the brain. • Omega-3s are one of the two types of fatty acids; the others are omega-6. Scientists believe that the ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 intake is between 3:1 and 5:1. • The typical omega-6 to omega-3 ratio in the modern, Western diet is between 10:1 and 30:1. What you need to know - Alternative ViewStatements and opinions by Mike Adams, author of The 7 Laws of Nutrition• The typical Western diet is dangerously low in omega-3 fatty acids. The health effects of these severe deficiencies, which include diabetes, breast cancer, depression, ADHD, schizophrenia and heart diseases, are usually diagnosed as independent "diseases" requiring chemical treatment. But in many cases, the root cause of the problem is simply a deficiency in omega-3 fatty acids. Resources you need to know• Good sources of omega-3 fatty acids include chia seeds (www.GoodCauseWellness.com or www.IntegratedHealth.com), flax seeds, certain fish oils (wild salmon) and various nuts and seeds.Bottom line• Studies suggest that a higher intake of omega-3s may lead to a more positive outlook and a better regulation of mood.Get articles like this delivered to you FREE in our popular email newsletter Related CounterThink Cartoons:
