Who would have thought that ordinary capsules with fish oil could become an effective means of combating aggression?
A new study conducted by scientists from the University of Pennsylvania showed that omega-3 fatty acids, which are contained in these capsules, can reduce the level of aggression by 28%.
The researchers analyzed data from 29 studies that examined the effects of omega-3 on aggressive behavior. The results showed that regular use of omega-3 supplements leads to a marked decrease in reactive aggression (which manifests itself in response to provocation), and proactive (pre-planned).
Scientists associate this effect with the influence of omega-3 on brain activity. These fatty acids play an important role in the formation of cell membranes, especially in the brain. They help regulate inflammatory processes and support the normal functioning of nerve cells.
“We believe that something about the way omega-3s reduce inflammation and support vital brain processes may help regulate aggression,” says study author Adrian Raine.
It is important to note that omega-3 is not a panacea for all forms of aggression. However, the results of the study make it possible to consider them as a promising tool for reducing the level of aggression in people with various diagnoses.
“At the very least, parents seeking treatment for an aggressive child should know that in addition to any other treatment their child is receiving, an extra serving or two of fish each week can also help,” Rein notes.
In addition, omega-3 is known for its beneficial properties for the cardiovascular system. Regular intake of these fatty acids helps reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke, and other health problems.
Thus, omega-3 supplements can become an affordable and effective way to reduce aggression and improve overall health. However, you should consult your doctor before taking any supplements.
