Overview
Fat - it's a dirty word isn't it? But, in our haste to write it off we often overlook its important role in our wellbeing. Twenty per cent of the dry weight of the brain is made up of essential fatty acids (EFAs). So, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to appreciate their relevance in brain maintenance. EFAs are required for the production of prostaglandins which help regulate mood-altering hormones. These soothing fats may prevent depression and mood swings. |
