Someone said chocolate. I had eaten chocolate daily since i was a kid and i always wondered why i wasnt depressed especially considering how bad my circumstances were, violent fater, low income family, no friends, then a few years ago i heard there had been a scientific study which found chocolate does indeed help with depression. Another recent study claimed that omega 3 fish oil is a miracle cure for depression, this was based on the fact that populations who eat plenty of fish have much lower instances of depression than populations where fish is rarley eaten. For instance Japan has a very low instance of depression where as south africa has the highest rates of depression in the world. I do take omega 3 oil but if i had to say witch benefits me best it would definatley be chocolate, it definatley affects my mood for the better, even just a tiny amount a day like one square from a bar. Working out is also a big depression killer, especially weight training. Finally try to have a routine to live by, that also is a big help. I notice its times when im at a lose end and have no direction in life that i get depressed a lot, so even working out daily or twice weekly will give you something positive to focus on, plus it raised the happy chemicals in the brain.

I don't know for certain, but my doctor recently told me to steer clear of it because it can overload your body with fat soluble vitamin A.  You can replace it by using flax seed on stuff...baked in bread or ground onto salads etc.

Omega-3 fatty acids are only naturally found in flax seed oil and fish oil from fish with red coloured flesh. Like salmon for instance. Omega-3 fatty acids are required by the brain to function at peak efficiency. They also reduce bad cholesterol levels. There are also Omega-6 fatty acids also commonly found in beef, pork, chicken and fried foods. O6 acids are not good for the body in large quantities and lead to heart attacks and blood clots.\n\n I take a gram of O3 acid at dinner every day. I find it helps to order thoughts and seems to be a mood stablizer, for me at least. If you go for a fish based source be warned that not all fish oils contain significant amounts of Omega-3 acids. I use the Organika brand of wild harvested Pacific salmon oil. It contains a garenteed amount of the O-3 acids EPA and DHA in eack softgel tab. Stay away from the " Natural Factors " brand of fish oil as from my experience it does not contain any EPA and DHA and did nothing for me. As a warning do not take more than a gram or 2 of O-3 oil per day. Too much oil thins the blood and puts an additional strain on the heart as it works harder to pump the thinner blood. Not good if you have a heart condition of any sort.\n\nAs for why O-3 acids are named the way they are that would have been up to their discoverer. Try searching the web for that person and you may find the answer to the 2nd part of your question.

The bottles whether you buy omega 3 (fish oil) capsules at Walmart or health-food stores, will have the daily dosage on the label.\n\nMy advice is to take it!  It helps the brain considerably - and most certainly more than doing nothing at all. My only suggestion would be to contact your doctor and make sure its nothing that would have a bad reaction to medicines you might currently take.\n\nIf there is no risk of dangerous interaction - then take it.

Fish oil contain what are know as omega 3 fatty acids and are suposed to be good for your overall cholesterol status and may help to reduce the levels of other "bad" types of fat in the blood.  The bottom line, as for now, is that it can't hurt.

THe main problems here are a bit high LDL of 136 and a low HDL of 32.  For LDL, follow some of the above advice.  Stay away from fat and red meats as much as you can.  Fish oil is recommended as a great food supplement, and so is Benecol spread.  Both actually lower cholesterol and fish oil is particularly good.  Your LDL goal should be anywhere between 100-130, depending on your other risk factors.  As far as HDL is concerned, your goal should by 40.  The best thing to increase HDL is excercise, so careful excercise regimen would do you best.  Work with your health care professional on that and good luck!

You can take the B-Vites in the A.M..Most do this because that is where You are getting the energy. Just read instructions on bottle to determine how much B's are safe. Mine(Nature Made Brand) say...One caplet daily w/ a Meal (or You'll get jittery like You drank too much  coffee) . Mine has Vitamin C also. This helps Your body absorb Iron better. B-Vites are great.  They boost the Immune system.I also take Nature Made  Omega3 Fish Oil capsules. These soften brain receptor cells to improve thought processes. I take at night, so when I awake, I am refreshed and ready for the day. Get the odorless kind. The don't break down until in lower intestine so You cannot taste or burp or even smell the fishy taste You get when using the regular kind. Fish oil also helps prevent coronary heart disease, and promotes cellular regeneration!!!! 60 soft gels @ Rite-Aid are only $9.99. It may sound gross, but believe me, It helps tremendously. Also helps keep u regular...if u get My drift. I hope this helps!!!! Any vitamin in excess is as bad as anything else in excess. You are wise for asking!!!! Great Luck to You and God  Bless!!! J ~  P.S. Skip the B-12 @ 4th meal because You are getting enough W/ the complex. Too much can cause health problems! You are taking B-12 in the complex. You can also see a Dr. for Vit B shots to lose weight if heavy. My mother-in -law gets these and they give her tons of energy to burn fat. 100.00 a pop though!!!

dont follow lay people dude, yes cross word puzzles and or high brain situlated things would work, but lets face it. it all comes done to your nutrition, if you increase antioxidants and phytochemmicals food mostly in veggies and fruits, whole grains lean meats non or low fat milk, and the omega 3 fatty acid (your brain is 60% fat) the DHA is the best compent of omega 3 for the brain, (get it mosyly from fish/fish oil, and to a lesser extent flaxseeds and flaxseed oil (some people cant convert the flax to the DHA) for antioxidants try eating healthy so your internal antioxidant enxymes function better and your mictrocodra in the cells produce maxuim energy, then you'll learn fairly rapidly (alpha lopic acid is an all purpose diverse antioxidant protecting like all of the cell and regenerating all ther anti oxidants from its free radical forms back to its functional form. with out comprmising itself shit like that dude, study nutrition and antioxidants, it might pervent the  degerative diseases that 85% of us will get

Lets face it, we all need the omega fatty acids from salmon. The importance of having farmed raised salmon compared to wild is that we are helping not to deplete all our natural fishing resources.There are all kinds of issues and concerns with farmed raised salmon, stemming from farmed raised salmon escaping into the wild, will mutate reproductive systems of wild salmon, and to farm raised salmon having to many PCB's, and unnatural enhancements that may cause health problems for humans. Health fanatics and the media turn both fish suppliers against each other. They both have their good and bad points.\nI myself will eat both, if the price is right, and for the health benefits. Just be careful of what country you get farmed raised salmon from if your cautious. Some contain more PCB's than others, Otherwise, all salmon is healthy, even farm raised salmon that is color enhanced.

as mentioned before fish oils are good, but you need to find them with omega 3 and high levels of EPA and DHA. This helps stimulate blood flow to the brain and therefore improve concentration. \n\nHope this helps
