Re: So, Omega 3 and depression

fasting4now,
Mouseclick is quite right of course: a plant-based diet is the cornerstone for nutritional health. But.........

I would begin with these foundations for good health,
which are......................

#1. A plant based diet properly combined and eating only according to appetite, but then depressives can for the most part have very little appetite, and sometimes an aversion to food, and even suffer the consequences of malnutrition if extended over a long enough period of time.

#2. Exercise in the fresh air (energy permitting) which is usually low in many depressives; such as rebounding, building up slowly, making sure this does not overtire or enervate.

#3. Something called biochemical-individuality. We are not all the same. Does one suit for example fit everyone?
Stress (for example) creates a greater need for certain nutrients, and in particular the B Complex Vitamins and Vitamin C amongst others.
These are just some examples..............

.............and which includes the concept of Orthomolecular Medicine, a term coined by Linus Pauling, whose work was carried on thru Dr M Rath who coined it as "cellular medicine".

In my opinion and experience a plant-based diet is the foundation for nutritional-health, but this does not allow for nutritional-bio-individuality which expands on the former and is the only way to achieve optimum nutritional health regardless what others may tell you.

Take care
