3. Fish oil

Fish oil contains both docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Without them we could not build membranes for new cells, as we generate billions of them daily. 

Research has discovered how powerful they are at controlling inflammation. Deficiency of Omega-3s can lead to low energy, depression, weakness, vision and learning problems, dry skin, poor hair and nail growth, impaired digestion, increased risk of auto-immune conditions, cardiovascular disease, and many more! 

The good news is that Omega 3’s are easy to get in either food or supplement, the most common source is fish. If you add fish to your diet you are likely to have no worries about Omega 3 insufficiency. However, if you do not consume it regularly, it would be ideal to supplement (check with your doctor or nutritionist) with Omega-3, make sure to find an EPA and DHA one.

If it is not something serious, I recommend you try to find natural remedies like these and avoid taking medicines that will harm your health in the long term.
