Depression and Omega 3

Depression is undoubtedly one of the great sufferings that, if present in children, is difficult to diagnose, either because of the confusion of parents with other symptoms or because of the children's lack of emotional maturity and inexperience in expressing the what they feel; Therefore, it is very important to know that it is estimated that 3% of children in the world may become depressed, whether due to problems in school, family problems, divorce, loss of family, etc.

To date there are many studies that associate the consumption of Omega 3 fatty acids with the substantial improvement in the effects of depression in both children and adults. Fatty acids such as Omega 3 help nerve cells have a healthy membrane, which helps to better assimilate the nutrients in the blood, and better transmission of pulses and electrical messages between them. It is then that the relationship between the consumption of Omega 3 and the better assimilation of serotonin - a chemical that is a neurotransmitter that regulates various systems in the body - becomes relevant.

Although it would be risky to say that with only the consumption of Omega 3 can eliminate the depression, a feeding with the sufficient quantities of these fatty acids have been shown to be an effective adjuvant in the treatment of this condition, as well as in its prevention in children , Adolescents and adults, and our studies have revealed results as early as the third week of consumption of our nutritional lunches based on Omega 3.

As you may notice, Omega 3 is not only an essential element in good cognitive development, but a good ally in the prevention and treatment of conditions that may be present in our children. At Club Omega Tree we provide food prepared by professional chefs who are responsible for providing the best sources of Omega 3 in our service Lunches for children, with ingredients of the highest quality.
