## Fish Oil May Reduce Aggression in children,New Study Suggests
A new study suggests that increasing omega-3 fatty acid intake,through diet or supplements,could considerably reduce aggressive behavior in children. Researchers found that supplementing with omega-3s led to a reduction in aggression of up to 28%.
The research, led by Adrian Raine at the University of Pennsylvania, involved a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with young offenders. Participants who received omega-3 supplementation showed a notable decrease in aggressive acts compared to those who received a placebo.
while larger studies across longer periods of time are going to be needed to further establish this relationship, it adds to our understanding of how fish oil pills and the omega-3 in them might be beneficial for the brain.
“At the very least, parents seeking treatment for an aggressive child should know that along with any other treatment that their child receives, an extra portion or two of fish each week could also help,” Raine said.
The researchers think that something in the way that omega-3 reduces inflammation and keeps vital brain processes ticking over might be helping regulate aggression.
