Fish, health and omega-3 fatty acids
Fish
and mental health
A
study by Silvers & Scott published in
Public Health Nutrition 2002 (vol 5, p427-31)
showed a positive relationship between fish
intake and higher self-reported mental health
status. Data used in this analysis were
taken from the New Zealand 1997 Health and
Nutrition surveys on 4644 adults. This is
the first cross-sectional survey to demonstrate
a significant relationship between fish
intake and mental health, therefore offering
indirect support for the hypothesis that
omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids may
act as mood stabilisers. More
