What are omega-3 fatty acids?
Saturated fats, monounsaturated fats, and polyunsaturated fats are the three
types of fat found in the diet. Omega-3 fats are a type of polyunsaturated fat
found primarily in fish, but they can also be found in eggs and milk, cheese,
and meat from grass-fed cows. What we call omega-3 fats are actually two types
of fat: DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).
Importance of Omega-3?
Omega-3 fats are crucial for a healthy body. They nourish the brain, eyes,
joints, and digestive tract, but these fats are even more important for the
body of a growing child. The body needs these fats so dearly, it’s no wonder
omega-3 fats are called essential fatty acids. The term “essential” actually
comes from the fact that the body cannot produce these fatty acids on its own;
they must be consumed in the diet. However, as these fats exist in so few
foods, making sure that our kids get enough can be tricky, especially if you
have a picky eater in your house!
Supportive but not conclusive research shows that consumption of EPA and DHA
omega-3 fatty acids may reduce the risk of coronary heart desease.
Who should take en Omega-3?
Adults:
Omega-3 is vital for maintaining good health in adults. New research is showing
that it is even more important for growing bodies.
Children:
Although many problems caused by malnutrition in childhood can be reversed,
some are permanent, making good nutrition early on a necessity for the wellness
of that child throughout their life. Here are just a few examples of how
omega-3 can benefit your child:
Omega-3 is found in very high concentrationin the brain, where DHA is abundant.
Studies show that omega-3 can lower the chance of depression and ADHD in
children.
A diet high in omega-3 may improve overall eye health in growing children.
Omega-3 reduces the inflammatory response in the body, keeping your child’s
heart healthy.
Omega-3 at a young age may reduce the incidence of asthma later in life.
Pregnant Women:
DHA is believed to be beneficial to the developing fetus, both in the womb and
in subsequent development. A large number of observational studies link higher
intrauterine DHA exposure to a number of positive developmental outcomes,
including cognitive development. During the last trimester, fetal requirements
for DHA are especially high because of the rapid production of brain tissue.
The fetus depends primarily on DHA supplied by the mother. Fish oil also reportedly
prolongs the gestation period without detrimental effects; a longer pregnancy
is associated with a baby’s subsequent survival and health *
