Omega-3 Eases Depression Symptoms of Menopause
Omega-3s ease psychological distress and depressive symptoms often suffered by menopausal and perimenopausal women, according to researchers at Université Laval's Faculty of Medicine. Their study, published in the February issue of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, presents the first evidence that omega-3 supplements are effective for treating common menopause-related mental health problems.
Dr. Michel Lucas and colleagues recruited 120 women age 40 to 55 and divided them into two groups. Women in the first group took three gel capsules containing a total of one gram of EPA, an omega-3 fatty acid of marine origin, every day for eight weeks. Those in the second group followed the same protocol, but took gel capsules containing sunflower oil without EPA. Test results before and after the eight-week period indicate that omega-3s significantly improved the condition of women suffering symptoms of psychological distress and mild depression. "The differences we observed between the two groups are noteworthy," commented Dr Lucas, "especially considering that omega-3s have very few side effects and are beneficial to cardiovascular health." However, no positive effect was observed among a small group of women with more severe depressive symptoms. Women with hot flashes also noted that their condition improved after consuming omega-3s. At baseline, the number of daily hot flashes was 2.8 and dropped by an average of 1.6 in the group taking omega-3s and by 0.5 in the control group. The change that can be attributed to the use of omega-3s, i.e. a decrease of 1.1 hot flashes per day, is equivalent to results obtained with hormone therapy and antidepressants. Details of these results were published in the November 20, 2008 online edition of the journal Menopause. Many women suffer from depressive symptoms during menopause and perimenopause. Some take antidepressants for relief even though their effectiveness is controversial. Mistrust of hormone therapy and antidepressants leads certain women to turn to alternative methods whose effectiveness has not yet been scientifically demonstrated. This study by Université Laval researchers corrects this situation with regard to marine-sourced omega-3s. Editor's Note: |

It All Adds Up to a Younger YOU
You've made a decision to stay young. Smart choice. Now you need a plan to make it happen. Not some rigid, hard-to-follow manifesto, but simple steps that, when combined, add up to a more vibrant and healthier YOU. But you have to commit to doing these things every day. Yes, that includes weekends. Below is a rundown of four daily to-dos.

30 Minutes . . . . . . of walking, every day. Do it by yourself, with a friend, or with your dog, but don't even think about skipping it. From an antiaging perspective, that's as bad as pulling an all-nighter. Why? A daily walk builds both the stamina and the mental discipline you need to stick with the rest of your staying-young plan. Let it slip and you'll probably abandon other healthy habits, too. Walk yourself fit in your own home with this online workout video. Add this 20-minute strength-and-stretch workout to your walks for additional armor against aging. A Few Cups . . . . . . of green tea, every day. Because the leaves are young and haven't been oxidized, green tea has up to 40% polyphenols -- natural chemicals with potent antioxidant properties that are greater than even vitamin C. Just don't add milk: The casein in milk cancels out the beneficial effects. Use these tips to become an expert at preparing a pot of green tea. 5 Minutes . . .. . . of meditation, every day. Focused quiet time and nose breathing each day can help you manage chronic stress and its aging effects. How? When air flows through your nostrils, nitric oxide -- the feel-good substance that's found in your nasal cavity -- gets fuel-injected into your system. This helps dilate your arteries so that your blood keeps moving as if it's on an empty country road rather than on an L.A. freeway. (There is a difference between NEW AGEY meditation and CHRISTIANS meditating. --"Cheyenne Cin")Get pointers on practicing meditation and deep breathing. A Couple of Handfuls . . .. . . of walnuts, every day. Have six before lunch and another six before dinner to provide the omega-3 fats you need to strike the best nutritional ratio -- not only to boost your immunity but also to keep inflammation in check. Other ideas: Buy omega-3-enriched eggs; eat fish such as cod, halibut, and trout; or try chia seeds. Find out what other foods can lead to a younger, healthier YOU. Start making these life-lengthening habits part of your staying-young routine today. And use this interactive checklist to track your progress. Next week's issue in this newsletter series will offer a plan for making your body stronger, so you're better prepared to fend off aging, wear, and tear. |
