Eat Fish for Depression Anxiety

New study shows people who eat fish have half the rate of depression anxiety.

A recently published study of over 1500 men and women, found that individuals who ate one or more portions of fish per week, had nearly half the rates of depression anxiety compared to individuals who ate fish less frequently.

Why and How Fish Helps Depression Anxiety

Several varieties of fish such as salmon, herring, sardines, and others, have high amounts of Omega 3 fatty acid, which is anti-inflammatory.  Depression anxiety is an immuno-inflammatory condition. Omega 3 fatty acids found in fish reduces inflammation in the body and brain.

The Standard American Diet, or Western Diet, is characterized by low consumption of omega 3 fish, and high consumption of inflammatory omega 6 fatty acids found in GMO fed beef and vegetable oils.

Inflammation in the gut from eating inflammatory foods, causes damage to the gut lining, allowing food particles and toxins to enter the blood stream, where they lodge in different parts of the body and brain, are attacked by the immune system, which produces inflammation in the body and brain, leading to depression anxiety and several other medical conditions.

People who eat anti-inflammatory omega 3 rich fish, both prevent inflammation from occurring, and heal any existing body or brain inflammation.

Not All Fish Help Depression Anxiety

Not all fish contain high amounts of omega 3, and many fish also contain hazardous toxins such as mercury (see list), or are farm raised with GMO feed.

If you want to increase your fish intake to fight depression anxiety, make sure you choose high omega 3 wild and toxic free species of fish such as wild salmon, herring, anchovies, or sardines.  Avoid any farm raised salmon, catfish, tilapia, or larger species of fish such as tuna. Buy fresh or frozen fish that is unsalted and not in cans or tins which contain the neurotoxin BPA.

The Depression Anxiety Diet contains two servings of omega 3 rich wild sockeye salmon per week – 3 servings if you are on the Depression Anxiety Detox Diet.

Fish Oil Supplements for Depression Anxiety

If you do not have access to fresh and safe high omega 3 fish, although not as well absorbed as fresh fish, an alternative is to use omega 3 fish oil supplements for depression anxiety.

Omega 3 fish oil supplements have been scientifically shown to help depression anxiety recovery.  However, just as with fish, not all fish oil supplements are clean or safe.  The safest cleanest way to get your omega 3 in supplement is not from fish, but from krill, a small shrimp like creature which fish eat and where fish get their omega 3.
