Tuna fish reduces depression in women

How to say Australian researchers, a sandwich with tuna may reduce the risk of depression in women by 25%.

The team of the research Institute Menzies watched the health of more than 1400 men and women, ranging in age from 26 to 36 years old over a five-year period. The participants of the experiment were recorded in the diaries of their diet and mental health. After taking into account all factors: physical activity, weight, harmful habits, it was discovered that there is a strong link between eating fish and depression. "Women who ate fish more than twice a week had a risk of depression by 25 percent below, compared with those who had more meager diet of such seafood. For men fish consumption was not associated with risk of depression". According to researchers, omega-3 fatty acids in tuna or cod are connected with the female sex hormones and help the brain.
