Essential fatty acid supplementation is so important for everyone. EFA's positively impact brain, heart, hormonal and neurological health.
The brain is made mostly of fat. The correct balance of fatty acids is necessary for neuronal health, nerve transmission, maintaining a normal threshold of excitability, and the regulation of inflammation in the brain and elsewhere. A fascinating study published recently in the journal Neuropharmacology reveals the relationship between fatty acids, electrical activity (EEG), and brain function in adolescent boys with ADHD.
“Abnormal fatty acid status has been implicated in the aetiology of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Delayed maturation in ADHD may result in raised frontal low frequency (theta) electroencephalographic activity (EEG) and a reduction in posterior high frequency (beta, alpha) activity.”
