Omega acids
‘A large part of our brain consists
of fats. The cell membranes consist
primarily of omega-3, omega-6 and cholesterol. Omega-3 is responsible for the proper
functioning of brain cells so that sufficient levels of serotonin are produced. The
balance between these various fats is extremely important as well.’ Omega-3 also
plays an important part in the patient’s immunological profile. ‘Omega-3 fatty
acids have an anti-inflammatory effect that has already been investigated in
cardiovascular disorders. Depression and chronic fatigue syndrome often involve
inflammation caused by a disturbed immune system. For one reason or another, the immune
system in these patients is
overly active. This overly active system leads to never ending fatigue.’
