Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 .. GREAT INFORMATION !!! En-JOY...... ========================= "Omega Fatty Acids and Uridine Improve Mood" --- JoAnn Guest Apr 18, 2005 20:46 PDT According to a new study published in Biologic Psychiatryconsuming cold water fish, such as salmon and sardines along with walnuts, molasses and sugarbeets can work aseffectively as Prozac in treating depression.Omega-3-fatty acids have long been known to improve serotonin's ability to bind to cell membranes, but now uridine, an amino acid found in walnuts, cold-water fish, molasses and sugarbeets, seems to enhance that effect. Uridine improves norepinephrine and dopamine binding, the neurotransmitters that give you the "zip in yo doo dah." As a result, lower levels of BOTH elements result in the same anti-depressant effect as pharmaceutical grade drugs such as Prozac without the increasing side effect of suicide.So here's what you need to know if you suffer from depression or even "seasonal affective disorder" or the winter blues:Eat salmon twice a week and enjoy walnuts in a salad or as a low carb snack.http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/healthstudies/a/depression.htm?terms=uridine http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/healthstudies/a/depression.htm?terms=uridine ----------AIM Barleygreen "Wisdom of the Past, Food of the Future" http://www.geocities.com/mrsjoguest/Diets.html ***** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
