Omega-3 fats for mood and anxiety

As the holiday season approaches, we are reminded of the wonderful and not-so wonderful events of our lives. This time of year brings forth a richness of emotion, celebration and activity. It can also bring forth challenges and stress.

The omega-3 fats EPA and DHA have been shown in clinical research to support better moods and reduce anxiety. In the holiday season is when many of us need this support the most. A supplement of purified and concentrated omega-3 fats is a convenient way to support your physical and mental health.

I encourage you to remember that your body doesn't know it's a holiday season and take good care. Enjoy the eggnog, latkes, candy canes and family favorite foods and take a few minutes for self care (stretch, breathe, take your supplements) along the way. Your body will thank you for it in January!
