The Omega-3
Connection by Andrew Stoll
Managing depression safely, naturally,
and without side effects
For years scientists have searched
for a treatment to relieve
the pain of depression and other mood disorders - one
that's safe enough for nursing mothers, children, and
the elderly - without the side effects associated with
medicines like Prozac, Zoloft, and lithium. Thanks to
Dr. Andrew Stoll's groundbreaking research, that search
may well be over.
Stoll found that omega-3 fatty acids, already
known for their importance in preventing heart disease,
Crohn's disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and cancer, also
play a crucial role in mental health. They regulate
and enhance mood, sharpen memory, and even aid concentration
and learning. Though these remarkable substances are
abundant in common fish oils and other foods, the average
Western diet includes far too few of the most common
sources. Fortunately, our deficient diets and attendant
depression can be reversed. The Omega-3 Connection
provides readers with all the information they need
to restore their natural balance of omega-3 fatty acids,
including
- Which omega-3-rich foods to eat
- The most effective over-the-counter supplements
- How to integrate flaxseed and fish
oils into diet and medication plans
- Simple recipes, supplement doses and sources,
and more
