The HAPPY Oil
Our BRAIN represents 2% of our body weight but uses 25% of our energy.
60% of our brain is made of FAT, 20% of which is DHA (long-chain Omega 3).
DHA keeps cerebral neurons elastic, and elastic neurons communicate really well. When DHA is lacking it is replaced with omega-6, a more solid fat which makes neurons rigid and inpedes cellular communication.
Children with ADHD that are supplemented with long chain Omega 3 show dramatic improvements in mood and thought capacity. Becase traditional kids foods : buns, burgers & chips, cakes & sweets are loaded with heat-treated Omega 6 fats and absolutely no Omega 3, many kids have an Omega 3 deficiency.
Research shows that supplementing with long-chain, fish-based Omega-3 oils can help reduce the symptoms of ADHD, a variety of psychiatric illnesses and degenerative brain disorders.
Receptors in the brain for happiness hormones dopamine and serotonin are also made of DHA Omega-3. Without enough DHA, these receptors use whatever fats are available : processed & hydrogenated fats can deform serotonin receptors and make them ineffective. As children’s brains are still developing, the impact of a DHA deficiency in children can be much much greater than in an adult. Low levels of dopamine and serotonin are common signs of children with ADD/ADHD and Autism.
Long chain Omega 3 oils improve serotonin levels in the brain and protect the fragile membrane of brain cells, they improve memory, learning & reasoning: making kids happier and smarter.
As the brain uses so much energy it is also very susceptible to oxidation, so it is great to make sure children get lots of antioxidants from raspberries & blueberries, green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes and bright orange fruits. DANIELE de WINTER SKINERGIE 100% plant-&-fish-based daily supplements contain a mega-antioxidant blend of highly purified long-chain Omega 3 and concentrated, 100% natural antioxidants from fruits & algae : SKINERGIE is designed to enhance memory & serotonin levels and protect sensitive children’s brains from oxidation.
