Since there is already significant evidence that Omega 3’s help with many other problems such as heart disease and even depression, it is probably wise to add it to your diet if you haven’t already. There are many products on the market that contain Omega 3’s, but a good fish oil/flax seed oil supplement is probably all you need. Check your health food store or even at your regular grocery store. I get mine at Kroger in the vitamin aisle. Here is a good tip though- take it with a meal since it will have a fishy taste. If you take it on an empty stomach, you won’t like the results!
