MENTAL HEALTH BENEFIT
Herring is known to be rich in OMEGA 3
Omega3s have properties that positively affect mental health. Scientific research shows that regular intake of Omega 3 can decrease levels of depression.
According to other studies, vitamin D also plays an important role in mental health.
Science finds that high levels of omega-3 and vitamin D increase serotonin release, resulting in a reduction in mental disorders such as bipolarism and schizophrenia.
