“A Mediterranean diet consists of extra virgin olive oil, vegetables, oily fish, and nuts which contain polyphenols, vitamins, minerals and omega-3 fatty acids which are known to attenuate inflammation and thought to prevent coronary thrombosis.”

“Interestingly, scientists have identified several tryptophan hydroxylase 2 gene variants associated with ADHD. The marine omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) also play roles in serotonin pathways.”

“However, Many pregnant women are afraid of eating fish because of mercury...but a 2015 American Journal of Clinical Nutrition study showed that eating omega-3 fatty acids from fish actually protects the brain from the toxic effects of mercury even in the developing fetus (which is the most susceptible to mercury effects).”

“This has not been addressed yet. Because most included trials with negative results included patients at high risk of CVD and with advanced atherosclerosis, a high dose of marine omega‐3 supplementation may be needed to achieve potential benefits in this setting.”

“FTA: > Researchers have discovered how vitamin E deficiency may cause neurological damage by interrupting a supply line of specific nutrients and robbing the brain of the 'building blocks' it needs to maintain neuronal health.

“They found that mice that received the vagus nerve stimulation had higher levels of specialized pro-resolving mediators, or SPMs, in their abdominal fluid. SPMs are byproducts of omega-3 fatty acid metabolism that play critical roles in resolving inflammation.”
