104.7 FM Health Capsule: Emotional Balance and Omega-3s
In her health column, the naturopath of La Boite à Grains Renée Jean talks about emotional balance (optimism, mood, concentration, energy) and how to use omega-3s, particularly fish-based omega-3s, to help find that balance.
Omega-3
When we talk about omega-3s, we're talking about essential fats that our bodies don't produce naturally. That's why it's so important to consume omega-3s on a regular basis. While it's true that some common products, including many types of eggs, are laced with omega-3s, it's best to supplement with them to provide our bodies with what they need.
There are two types of omega-3: marine (fish) and vegetable (nuts, seeds, soya, oils). Humans, on the other hand, find it easier to absorb/assimilate fish-oil-based omega-3s.
The benefits of fish-oil-based omega-3s
- Helps maintain brain function and development in both children and adults.
- May help manage attention deficit disorder with or without hyperactivity (ADD/ADHD) and improve concentration.
- Helps develop the nervous system.
- Helps improve academic and professional performance.
