OMEGA -3 FATS ❤
If you want your child to grow SMART you must feed your infant with Omega - 3 fats.
During Pregnancy and Breast feeding also you must take Omega -3 fats.
Neither fetal brains, infant brains , nor childhood brains can reach maximum potential without nourishment from Omega -3 fats.
In fact , without Omega -3 , young brains and brain power may not fully develop & there may be no later opportunity to repair the effects of Omega -3 fatty acid deficiency once nervous system is formed.
Pregnant women who eat fish give birth to more fully developed babies & also less chances of premature or low birth weight babies.
Best time for a women to get optimal brain fats into developing fetus is to start eating a diet high in fish oil long before she is pregnant.It takes months, perhaps years ,for the maximum amounts to build up in body tissue to be passed on to developing fetus.
It may take as long as four years to achieve maximum saturation of Omega - 3 fat in human tissue.
Also during pregnancy,eating fish can dramatically boost levels of all important DHA ( Docosahexaenoic acid, an essential fatty acid , important to development of infants particularly for eyes and brain ).
Many studies have been conducted of pregnant women dividing into two groups .
Group A - Women taking 2.6 gms of Omega -3 fatty acids from fish and fish oil supplements , including 1 gms of DHA.
Group B - Women ate their regular diets without extra fish oils.
Results :
Group A infants had 35 % more DHA in their red blood cells and 45 % more DHA in their plasma.Since blood reflects the amount of DHA in body tissue,this means such infants also had more essential brain fats and can be expected to have more highly functional brain cells at birth and in future.
Important note :
The more fish oil a mother ate,during the latter half of pregnancy ,the critical time for maximal development of fetal brain, higher both her DHA and that of her newborn.
Both pregnant and lactating women should take at least 300 milligrams per day of DHA.
If you cannot get it by eating fish ,you must take supplements
A lack of right fats can create a deficiency in your baby's brain with irreversible consequences.
