Fish for Happiness After Birth

Attention, moms-to-be: If you want to prevent the baby blues after giving birth eating more of this mood-lifting food supplement may help.

Fish oil contains an ingredient with a very long name that’s abbreviated DHA. This substance is also found in our brains, where it helps control our mood. Women may run low on DHA when they’re pregnant. Getting enough DHA during pregnancy could help women control postpartum depression. Simply eating DHA-rich foods such as fish may provide enough to do the trick.
