The Connection Between Omega 3 and Aggressive Behavior

Scientific studies published in both the United States and the United
Kingdom have now shown that antisocial behavior, aggression and
violence are a result of poor diet. This particularly affects those
people who eat processed and highly refined foods. These studies also
point out that a diet high in omega 3 oils can cause a significant
reduction in violent and aggressive behavior. This is great news, but
it\'s not exactly earth shattering. Any parent who\'s watched their
children get wound up after eating sugar can tell you what it\'s taken
researchers years to figure out. And, these researchers are not even
the first ones to come to this conclusion.
Back in the 1930s Dr. Weston Price, an American researcher, provided
evidence proving that a diet made up of processed and refined foods
increased the likelihood of antisocial, deviant, violent and aggressive
behavior.
In a study he did of delinquent boys, he found that 98.4% demonstrated
the characteristics, physical, emotional and mental, of malnourished
individuals. He observed what foods they were eating and confirmed that
they were getting less than optimal nutrition from processed foods.
Dr. Price also found that \"primitive\" societies, those who ate a
natural, non-commercial diet, left \"few impressions [that] can be more
vivid than that of the absence of prisons and asylums.\" And he goes on
to reference many studies at that time showing how violence and crime
increased greatly with each generation eating refined processed foods.
So take a look at what you and your family are eating. Do you eat whole
foods or the highly processed fake foods that line our grocery store
shelves? How much nutrition do you think you\'re getting from those
fake foods? If you answered, \"none\" or \"not much\" - you\'re right.
And what about the omega 3 oils that researchers have proven have such
a significant effect on behavior? Well, unless you\'re eating fatty
fish like salmon, tuna or mackerel at least 3 times a week, you and
your family are not getting enough of those oils either.
So what can you do? Well the first thing you\'ll want to do is to get
more whole foods in your diet. By \"whole foods\", I mean things that
haven\'t been processed - fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean meats
and low fat dairy.
Next, you need to add between 3 to 5 servings of fatty fish to your
family\'s diet each week. Now for most people, that\'s going to be
close to impossible. So in order to get your omega 3s, you\'ll need to
start taking a high quality, pure fish oil supplement. It will provide
the all-important omega 3 oils that are necessary for our brains to
function properly
And when our brains are functioning properly, you\'ll see fewer
incidences of aggressive behavior, attention deficit disorder,
violence, depression and ADHD. Doesn\'t that sound like a brighter
future?
