According to a new study published in Biologic Psychiatry

consuming cold water fish, such as salmon and sardines along with

walnuts, molasses and sugarbeets can work as

effectively 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 your 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.
