A recent study at Sydney University has shown that eating a combination of nutritious diet, daily fish oil supplements and three oily fish meals, like salmon, sardines and fresh tuna for a week, can help alleviate depression symptoms.
Researchers found out that omega-3 fatty acids, which is found naturally in oily fish and some grains and nuts are the most promising nutrition based treatment for depression. The polyunsaturated fatty acids have cardiovascular benefits and aid in brain development and mental health.
