Omega mind

Omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids can affect mood, personality and behavior, according to a study by University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine.

In a study of 106 healthy volunteers, researchers found that participants who had lower levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids were more likely to report mild or moderate symptoms of depression, a more negative outlook and be more impulsive. Conversely, those with higher levels of omega-3s were found to be more agreeable.
