( Natural News ) Omega-3 fatty acids are best known for their heart-healthy benefits. However, a recent study has found that they can also help boost mental health, especially in children with behavioral disorders. Published in the Journal of Dietary Supplements , the study reports that supplementing children with behavioral disorders with omega-3 fatty acids can help improve their mental health and quality of life . Children with behavioral disorders often experience a decline in their mental health and quality of life, even if their disorders do not reach pathological levels. To address these concerns, researchers from Spain looked at the effects of supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids on these two factors. For the study, they examined a total of 942 children with behavioral disorders aged between six and 12 years old. The participants’ data were recorded at the beginning and after a three-month follow-up visit. Some of the children received dietary supplementation with omega-3 fatty acids, while others did not receive any supplement. To evaluate the effectiveness of omega-3 fatty acid supplementation, the researchers used the Kidscreen-10 and the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQ). The SDQ examines 25 positive and negative attributes, which are divided among five scales: emotional symptoms, conduct problems, hyperactivity or inattention, peer relationship problems, and prosocial behavior. The researchers also compared the characteristics of children with behavioral disorders with those of healthy individuals. Based on the results, supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids significantly improved the health status and quality of life of children with behavioral disorders after three months. It also improved their SDQ scores, except for the emotion subscale. 100% organic essential oil sets now available for your home and personal care, including Rosemary, Oregano, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Clary Sage and more, all 100% organic and laboratory tested for safety.
