Fish Oil Health Benefits: Fish Oil Health Benefits for A Smart Baby
Fish oil is brain food for baby. Omega 3 with DHA and EPA provides health benefits to help baby be smarter and happier. The EPA and DHA found in fish oils make up about 70% of a newborn baby’s brain and are essential to a child’s brain development.
These essential oils are the main component of a child’s nervous system and retina and are necessary throughout the entire process of pregnancy for the health and well being of the fetus. Deficiencies of EPA and DHA have also been linked to premature births and abnormally low birth weights.
Omega 3 fish oil is vitally important for mom too. During the third trimester of pregnancy she transfers to her fetus most of the DHA needed for the optimum development of her newborn baby’s brain and nervous system.
This requires a lot of omega-3. And, since the only way baby can get these essential oils is through mother, if mom isn’t getting enough from an outside source, her health is also at risk.
An EPA and DHA deficiency, for example, can put a pregnant woman at an increased risk of preeclampsia – pregnancy-related high blood pressure. And, during the nine months of pregnancy, she could lose as much as 3% of her own brain mass from EPA and DHA depletion.
Some scientists believe this is the cause of post-partum depression.
Fish oil fatty acids with DHA and EPA are so necessary that the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organization and the U.S. National Institutes of Health recommend that pregnant and nursing mothers supplement their diet with 1200 mg/day.
But a recent study showed the average omega 3 intake of pregnant and lactating women was less than 18% of what is recommended and only 2% of women surveyed had diets that met their daily needs of EPA and DHA.
So, whether you’re nursing, pregnant or just thinking about it, for the sake of your baby, start eating more fatty fish like wild salmon on a regular basis and taking high quality fish oil supplements. Then your baby will be smart enough to appreciate all you’ve done.
