I know, you just read the title and it sounds pretty far-fetched. That's the same thing I thought when I came across this study, but the results are SURE to shock you!
Back story, I'm just browsing the newest scientific studies, as I usually do while drinking my coffee. (Cough NERD lol) I came across this title, and knew I had to read it. To save you the time and boredom, I'll break it down.

1. Omega-3's Have Benefit on Cognitive Function:
Omega-3's, particularly DHA, are critical for brain development and function. They are a main structural component of the brain, meaning similar to protein for muscles, Omega-3's help your brain become big and strong.
2. Depression and Anxiety:
Studies have shown that people with a higher intake of omega-3 fatty acids are less likely to suffer from depression and anxiety. Omega-3 supplements have also been found to effectively reduce symptoms of clinical depress and anxiety disorders.
3. Improved Memory and Learning:
DHA and EPA have been shown to improve memory and learning abilities drastically (remember that big strong brain we just talked about?)
4. ADHD Symptoms:
Many other studies show that Omega-3 supplementation can reduce symptoms of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
5. Neurodegenerative Risk:
Omega-3's can help protect against diseases like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's by reducing inflammation, oxidative stress, and brain health.
6. Mood and Emotional Well-Being:
Simply put, Omega-3's help with production and function of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine. (High on Fish Oil!?)
So, basically, Omega-3's have an insane track record for brain health, in about every way possible. Who knew!?
