People suffering from depression often have an imbalance in neurotransmitters that results in lowered mood, poor sleep habits, fatigue and general malaise. A great way to optimize the function of your brain, reduce oxidative stress, and balance your neurotransmitter levels is to increase the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your body. A wonderful source of these “good” fats is in oily fish, particularly salmon, cod and mackerel. If you’re feeling down in the dumps, add fish to your diet 2-3 times per week and see if your mood improves.
