Omega 3 and Turmeric against Depression.


OMEGA-3 AGAINST DEPRESSION.

 
A great article from the magazine "Discovery Dsalud" in Spanish about omega 3 fatty acids and depression. Impressive findings by Dr. Basant Puri when doing MRIs of the brains before and after omega 3 treatment (EPA and DHA and show positive changes and growth in certain areas of the brain. It turns out that they are also very beneficial against Parkinson's.

We always recommend caution and never discontinue or reduce treatments without specialist approval. In general, omega-3 are compatible with most medications, but consultation is important.

In English, we have this other truly interesting article from "Lifeextension":

TURMERIC AGAINST DEPRESSION

Studies on the medicinal virtues of turmeric continue to appear. There are already thousands. And also powerful against Parkinson's. How could it not be if it is an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory, crosses the barrier that protects the brain, protects the liver, is anti-tumor, etc.?

Always remember to consult your doctor and your pharmacist. There are products on the market that can be too powerful (capsules of 10 grams of turmeric). I think it is more prudent to use it as a spice with fried tomatoes, for example (turmeric needs heat, fat and a little piperine from the black pepper to assimilate it well).
