Fish Oil For Health And Brains
Researchers in England gave fat kids a supplement containing omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and encouraged them to modify their diets. They didn’t have much success getting the kids to eat better, and they didn’t lose any weight, but they made three years progress in concentration, reading, memory, and mental agility in only three months, according to this article.
And here’s an article that says that a lot of omega-3 acids are poor quality, and not worth taking, and how to tell if yours are any good. You should take a pin and drain the contents of the capsule onto a solid (not paper) plate, and then put it in the freezer for around five hours. If it’s frozen or slushy, it’s probably poor quality oil. It should either evaporate or stay liquid.
