Fish Oils, Vitamins, Herbs Helpful for
Depression
(NY, Reuters Health, 11/23/06)
Dr. Dianne Volker of the University of Sydney in
Chippendale and Jade Ng of Goodman Fielder Commercian in
North Ryde, New South Wales, say that the experts should
acknowledge the role of nutrition in mental health. They
cite research that confirms that diet and nutrition may help
people ward off depression, notably studies showing that
nutrients, such as polyunsaturated fatty acids and various B
vitamins, can increase the absorption of brain chemicals and
thereby affect mood.
