Fatty acids like those found in flax seed oil are crucial for brain health. A study showed that the omega-3 fatty acids can reduce psychiatric problems and alleviate some bad moods. Joseph Hibbeln, MD, of the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, points to studies demonstrating that taking the omega-3 fats called EPA and DHA can improve scores on psychological tests. Unfortunately, the typical American diet does not supply the proper amount of esstential fatty acids and since your body can't manufacture them on its own, it is important to supplement. Essential fatty acids help manage critical body functions such as cardiovascular, brain and nervous system function, fat metabolism, skin health and joint flexibility. Children with learning disabilities are almost always deficient in essential fatty acids. These acids are found in great concentration in the brain and are necessary for nerve conduction and brain function.
