Scientists have discovered how to reduce aggression with the help of a simple food supplement. Researchers from the University of Pennsylvania conducted a meta-analysis of several studies and found that omega-3 food supplement reduces aggression by an average of 22%. Interestingly, omega-3 reduces both reactive and proactive aggression. The first type includes immediate response to perceived threat or provocation, while the second type of aggression requires planning. Scientists believe that omega-3 should be used in combination with existing psychological and psychiatric treatment methods, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy.
