Fish and Omega-3s: Good Food = Good Mood
This study comes on the heals of growing research that consistently suggests eating fish high in omega-3s provides tremendous benefits, from increasing heart health to reducing dementia in the elderly.
20/03/07 Medical researchers are offering another reason to enjoy fresh fish: Eating species like salmon, that are high in omega-3 fatty acids, may improve your mood. A University of Pittsburgh study this week shows that people who eat seafood high in omega-3s are generally more agreeable and less likely to be in a bad mood.
This study comes on the heals of growing research that consistently suggests eating fish high in omega-3s provides tremendous benefits, from increasing heart health to reducing dementia in the elderly. Another recent study from the National Institutes of Health found that pregnant women who eat seafood may boost their child's IQ.
People also want healthy options when they go out to eat. In fact, Red lobster recently introduced an expanded fresh fish program to do just that. Each day, all 680 Red Lobsters across North America feature up to eight species of fresh fish flown in from around the world. Choices vary each day based on availability and include omega-3-rich salmon and trout, plus species such as red snapper, Arctic char, haddock, cod and grouper.
