The brain contains the highest levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the body.  So it is not too surprising that when the levels of omega-3 fatty acids drop in the brain, neurological disease is usually the outcome.  Many of the most devastating neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, and Parkinson’s are caused by increased inflammation.  Therefore it makes perfect medical sense that an anti-inflammatory diet rich in omega-3 fatty acids must be the foundation for long-term mental wellness.  Other neurological conditions such as Attention deficit disorder and depression result from insufficient levels of neurotransmitters that can be increased by sufficient levels of dietary omega-3 fatty acids.  This section contains the supporting references that support anti-inflammatory medicine in the treatment of neurological disease as well as the breaking medical research that supports the importance of omega-3 fatty acids in maintaining brain wellness.
