8. Depression

Depression causes negative thoughts, feelings, and actions to affect a person's daily life for a prolonged period. Causes include neurochemical imbalances, and diet sometimes exacerbates the condition. Flaxseed oil is rich in the essential fatty acid ALA, a precursor to the brain builder DHA. Studies show that DHA plays a role in reducing brain inflammation and has potent antidepressant characteristics.
