In the largest city of northern Israel, the University of Haifa has shared their concluded research showing that omega-3 supplementation significantly reduces nicotine craving, not to mention the number of cigarettes a person smokes on any given day. The study was conducted by the head of the school of criminology department’s addiction program, and the conclusions were published just last month by the the University.
Because of the adverse effects of medications, more and more smokers are turning to supplementation to kill the cravings, and thus kill the habit for good. It’s working. Omega-3 is a relatively inexpensive and readily attainable dietary supplement that has virtually zero side effects. Coconut oil, hemp seed oil (yes, it’s legal) and flax seed oil are phenomenal sources, but omega-3 can also be found in capsule form.
Dr. Sharon Rabinovitz Shenkar, head of the psychopharmacology laboratory and the criminology department, conducted the study and came to some very interesting conclusions that the natural health community has pondered for years.
The doctor says cigarette smoking reduces the levels of essential fatty acids in the brain, especially that of omega-3. This deficiency damages the structure of nerve cells and “interrupts neurotransmission in areas of the brain involved with feeling pleasure and satisfaction.”
Smokers are chemically robbed of true pleasure and satisfaction
Hey, smokers, are you having trouble making big decisions? Are you too critical of yourself, always “kicking yourself” for one reason or another, for not getting enough done, or not helping other people enough? Cigarettes are reducing these essential areas of reward and decision making, making you lose the ability to “pat yourself on the back” for good work or effort, and even making small decisions seem like huge, anxious, nerve-racking ones.
