It's a compelling discovery backed by science: Diets higher in omega-3 fatty acids from fish and nuts may help curb aggression. A French researcher demonstrated this link, showing that boosting omega-3 intake promotes calmer moods, while deficiencies can heighten irritability.
Published in the December issue of Psychiatry Research, the study examined men and women aged 18 to 45, divided into two groups—one supplemented with omega-3s, the other with placebo. After 6 weeks, omega-3 participants showed clear reductions in aggression. This aligns with endorsements from dietitians and physicians on omega-3 benefits.
Omega-3s support brain health by strengthening connections between nerve cells. Sources include fatty fish, nuts, flaxseed oil, and flax seeds.
