At least that's the motto of Dr. Andrew L. Stoll, neuro-psychiatrist and researcher at McLean Hospital in Belmont (Massachusetts, USA), which largely explains the success of his book "The Omega-3 factor." He undertook further studies on the treatment of bipolar disorder and mental illness, coming to a surprising conclusion: "It is one of the health problems more complex, dangerous and fascinating - and still one of the few diseases that occur only in people .
The prevalence of this disease suggests that it is not a simple random mutation and unfortunate, but it is possible that the genes involved have been preferentially selected during evolution. In the absence of disorder bipolar, our species would be at best, unattractive, even boring, at worst, the human race could not survive at all of our evolutionary history, and social issues.
Bipolar disorder, characterized by alternating cycles of sadness and anger , particularly common among those who are in positions of management or creation, but also in computer science, biotechnology, and finance. "Trying to find an alternative free of side effects for drug therapy, Dr. Andrew L. Stoll found that" trivial " omega-3 (polyunsaturated fatty acids) are able to ensure a stable balance to people con attacchi di depressione o rabbia, ma anche con deficit di attenzione, nei processi di invecchiamento cerebrale ed in certe psicosi.
Sembra che siano essenziali per l'attività del cervello e funzionerebbero meglio se il rapporto tra omega-3 e omega-6 è 1:1. è ancora aperto il dibattito per trovare l'equilibrio perfetto tra omega 3 e omega 6.
Alcuni ricercatori e nutrizionisti suggeriscono che il perfetto rapporto tra omega 3 e omega 6 è 1:4 (si deve consumare una dose di acidi grassi omega 3 ogni 4 dosi di omega 6). Altri esperti invece dicono che un rapporto di 1:2 in favore dell’omega 6 (una dose di omega 3 per due dosi di omega 6). Mi sembra una giungla anche qui!!!
Il problema è Western diet that varies from a ratio of 1:10 and 1:20 in favor of omega 6. This imbalance is easily caused by the excessive consumption of grains, cereals and vegetable oils (both in our food and for feed fed to animals to produce more, including those given to farmed fish).
So we hope that they put more quickly agree on the balance between omega 3 and 6, otherwise we just have to find just the right balance we would be better!
