But the health benefits of eating fish don’t stop there. Research has found that omega-3 fatty acids may also:

• Benefit depression and anxiety.
• Reduce symptoms of ADHD in children.
• Improve mental and psychiatric disorders.
• Help prevent age-related mental decline and Alzheimer’s disease.
• Help prevent cancer.
• Promote brain health during pregnancy and early life.
• Improve eye health.
• Reduce the possibility of potential blood clots.

• Reduce symptoms of metabolic syndrome.
• Benefit autoimmune diseases.
• Reduce asthma in children.
• Reduce fat in your liver.
• Improve bone and joint health.
• Help alleviate menstrual pain.
• Improve sleep.

Research is continually being performed on the health benefits linked to fish consumption. But it’s undeniable that eating more fish promotes a happier and healthier you.
