Omega-3 fatty acids reduce pain and inflammation, thereby reducing the frequency and intensity of different kinds of headache.

“what they found and here I'm paraphrasing the conclusion was that omega-3 fatty acids could yes effectively reduce the severity of PMS symptoms and one of the symptoms in particular that they found what that was reduced was the pain related symptoms associated with headache”

“what I'm referring to here are omega-3 fatty acids many of you are probably familiar with omega-3 fatty acids these are fatty acids that come in the form of so-called EPA and DHA and omega-3 fatty acids are commonly distinguished from the so-called omega-6 fatty acids”

“omega-3 fatty acids are going to be a very potent way to reduce pain and to reduce inflammation in ways that can reduce the frequency and the intensity of different kinds of headache”

“in the meta-analysis of omega-3 fatty acids for the treatment of headache and that includes all the different kinds of headache they found in exploring a huge range of Omega-3 supplementation ranging from 200 milligrams all the way up to 2 000 milligrams per day it really was at the one gram or higher dosage per day where the significant impact on reducing headache frequency and intensity was found”

“relate to a level of one gram or more of EPA per day again that's the EPA form in particular so if you're for instance taking supplemental fish oil or you're getting your Omega-3s from food and you're getting what you determine to be 2 000 milligrams or two grams per day of Omega-3s keep in mind that's going to include EPA ndha and it does seem that getting above one gram per day of EPA omega-3 fatty acids either through food or supplements or both is going to be the critical threshold for reductions in the frequency and intensity of headaches that include both tension headaches and migraine headaches”

“not only is omega-3 fatty acids supplementation been shown to be effective in reducing the frequency and intensity of headache in tension type and migraine type headache but it's also been shown to improve outcomes for premenstrual syndrome related headaches”

“supplementing with omega-3 fatty acids to a point where you're getting above one gram per day of EPA is not just going to be beneficial for treating and reducing the frequency and intensity of one particular type of headache but many types of headaches”

“New study of 122 participants confirms that a diet high in omega-3 fatty acids & low in omega-6 linoleic acid reduces the frequency and intensity of headaches 💊🐟 https://t.co/uI9ZHdQgQk”
