Omega 3 & Migraines

The World's Healthiest Foods: Feeling Great:
"Omega 3 fatty acids may play a role in the prevention and/or treatment of the following health conditions:

* Alzheimer's disease
* Asthma
* Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD)
* Bipolar disorder
* Cancer
* Cardiovascular disease
* Depression
* Diabetes
* Eczema
* High blood pressure
* Huntington's disease
* Lupus
* Migraine headaches
* Multiple sclerosis
* Obesity
* Osteoarthritis
* Osteoporosis
* Psoriasis
* Rheumatoid arthritis

In supplemental form, omega 3 fatty acids are available as softgels (like a vitamin E capsule) or as bottled liquids. Flaxseed oil, a rich source of alpha-linolenic acid, and cod liver oil, a rich source of EPA and DHA, are among the most popular omega 3 supplements.

When purchasing an omega 3 fatty acid supplement, remember that these oils are highly sensitive to damage from heat, light and oxygen. Choose a certified organic product that has been refrigerated and is packaged in a dark brown or green glass jar and be sure to store the product in your refrigerator or freezer.

It is also advisable to choose a supplement that contains vitamin E. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant, which is added to the oil to prevent the fatty acids from becoming oxidized (or rancid)."

My Take:

1 more pill to take. OK, I'll give it a try. How about you?
