Fish Oils 'help To Improve Dyslexics Concentration'

A article in the Telegraph highlighted the findings from a study which showed that children with dyslexia and other learning problems can benefit from taking fish oils.

Researchers from University of Oxford and the Imperial College School of Medicine in London found that children given the oils were less anxious, more able to concentrate and significantly better behaved than before. Dr Alex Richardson and colleagues decided to see what would happen when children, most of whom had dyslexia, were given capsules containing omega 3 fatty acids.
They split the children, aged between 8 and 12, into two groups and compared their progress. One group took fish oils for the first half of the six-month study, while the other took them for the second three months. The study found "stark" differences in the children's scores in terms of how relaxed they were, their ability to pay attention, and their shyness and emotional volatility when they were taking the oils.
