Omega 3

Omega 3 essential fatty acids (EFA´s) , also known as “good fats”, are crucial for growth, development and general good health. However, the human body cannot produce it on its own therefore we need to incorporate it into our diets. Health and Omega 3 go hand in hand, by regulating mental problems it enhances the ability of brain-cell receptors to comprehend mood-related signals from other neurons in the brain. They are believed to help keep the brain's entire traffic pattern of thoughts, reactions, and reflexes running smoothly and efficiently.

Researchers speculate that a diet rich in the Omega-3 fatty acid DHA, found in fish oil, may help promote a healthy emotional balance and positive mood in part because DHA is a main component of the synaptic membranes in the brain. (American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, Vol. 62, July 1995, pp. 1-9.) Researchers in another study found that people with a healthy emotional balance and positive mental outlook tended to have higher levels of DHA in their red blood cells. (Biol Psychiatry 1998; 43(5): 315-9.)

A Danish team of researchers compared the diets of 5,386 healthy older individuals and found that the more fish in a person's diet, the longer the person was able to maintain a healthy mental status. (Ann Neurol 1997; 42: 776-82.)
 

With the addition of Omega 3 and Vitamin E, Cocoa Tickles is a great combination of goodness and flavor that helps to maintain a healthy emotional balance and positive mood, even during those periods of mood swings, while tickling your brain's pleasure center.
