Brain Development with Omega 3

I started taking fish oils when I was pregnant with Jayden. Fish oil especially Omega 3 is good for brain development for baby throughout the 40 weeks of pregnancy. I took 1 capsule of fish oil everyday from the day I knew I was pregnant.

To be honest, I have never really compare what if I am not taking fish oil during pregnancy. But what I observed from Jayden and Jeana, they picked up words very fast and Jayden is a super fast learner.

So, let me explain in details about fish oil in this article.

Why is Fish Oil Important in Brain Development?

Tissues of oily fishes contain oils. These oils are later on derived from those tissues. They contain omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA which altogether decrease the risk of inflammation in the human body. Fish oil is also considered to reduce the probability of heart attack, stroke and clinical depression. Good levels of essential fatty acids – especially a type of Omega 3 called DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are required for development and maintenance of the brain, eyes, immune system, heart, skin, cognition, behavior, the nervous system and more.

During the course of evolution, the mankind showed more complex and thoughtful behavior and cognitive functions through the overall development of brain. Studies have indicated that this major growth and development of the brain was due to the intake of more fish oils. It was also concluded in a study that the DHA is responsible for the proper and accurate existence of the central nervous system. The 60% area in the human brain is covered with fat and that is the grey matter. DHA is mostly found in the grey matter and that portion is considered important for all the sensory functions and intelligence.

Importance of fish oil in brain development-

• Fish oils from Salmon and trout are responsible for the improvement of memory storage and processing of human brain.
• A new research has stated that a fish that has fatty acid has in it possess the capacity of boosting the overall function of memory by 15 percent if it is eaten as a meal.
• Fish rich diet has become a major importance to the scientists to be used against the prevention of the onset of dementia- a neurodegenerative disease. This diet works to maintain the optimal brain health of the human beings.
• Fish oil possesses a protective effect against Alzheimer’s disease for the people aged 60 years and above. This is why; older people are often prescribed fish oils as a dietary supplement with their meals.
• During pregnancy, intake of fish oils transfers DHA inside the mother’s body and act upon the fetus in developing a healthy neural growth.
• Breast feeding children tend to show growing neural development after 4 months of having breast milk of the mother who was taking fish oil as her dietary supplement.

6 Complete Nutrients that a Preggy Mom Needs

I am not a supplement person since young. Not that I don't trust supplements but I am just too lazy to take them and I feel that I am still strong enough to really need supplements yet haha.

PREGNANT!! 

But when I was pregnant with Jayden, I took all the vitamins and supplements given by the doctor diligently, never skip any of them lol. I was really paranoid about pregnancy at that time because there were lots of bad news I have heard about pregnancy among my friends.

I knew that a healthy body gives a smooth sailing pregnancy and healthy baby.

Here, I have compiled a list of essential and complete nutrient that a preggy mom needs based on the noted given by a Gynae.

Protein
Protein is the composition of large organic molecules; amino acids. Protein is responsible for acting as the building block of the cells of the body. In a pregnant woman, protein is required for both the mother and the baby. A baby’s cellular growth depends on the protein intake of the mother, especially during the second and the third trimesters. During that time, the mother’s body starts to develop and get bigger to attain the capacity of holding the baby in the womb. The breasts and other organs become bigger in order to provide the baby with appropriate nutritional needs. Protein is also required for producing energy in a pregnant woman’s body. During pregnancy, a woman goes through physical exhaustion because she carries another living being inside her body and protein intake becomes mandatory to avoid the exhaustion by producing sufficient energy.

Folic Acid
Vitamin B complex is scientifically known as folic acid. It is usually found in green and leafy vegetables. It acts as a major nutrient in both before and during pregnancy of a woman. The embryo has a neural tube which develops into brain and spine of the baby and if there is any defect in the neural tube during pregnancy, then there is risk of birth defects of spinal cord or brain of the baby. To prevent this, folic acid is a must diet for a pregnant woman. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports that women who take the recommended daily dose of folic acid starting at least one month before conception and during the first trimester of pregnancy, reduce their baby's risk of neural tube defects by up to 70 percent. Various critical defects such as- cleft palate, cleft lip, heart defects and preeclampsia can also occur if folic acid is not added to the pregnancy diet.

Omega 3
This particular nutrient is not synthesized inside the human body. So, it needs to be taken from the dietary supplements. Omega 3 basically helps in maintaining a balance in the regulation of prostaglandin. Prostaglandin is a hormone which functions to maintain blood clots, inflammatory and allergic responses and blood pressure. During pregnancy, the blood pressure tends to be a bit higher than normal because of the overall physiological condition of the mother. This is why, omega 3 is necessary to be consumed during pregnancy.

Calcium
The primary function of calcium is to build strong teeth and bone. During pregnancy, a mother needs to have sufficient amount of calcium intake for the adequate formation of bone for the baby. It is also required to prevent the risk of preeclampsia and hypertension during birth. The regular intake of calcium for women aged from 19-50 years should be 1000mg before, during and after pregnancy.

Vitamin C
Vitamin C is generally consumed from fruits. The regular intake of vitamin C for a pregnant woman should be 80mg per day for women aged from 19 to older. Collagen is a protein that makes up various bones and cartilages and also provides a protection against skin diseases. But during pregnancy, overuse of vitamin C supplements can cause ill health as well. So the usage should be kept at optimum.

Iron
Iron is a very important mineral which is found both naturally and from dietary supplements. Iron is a major component of hemoglobin which builds up the red blood cells in the body. Iron deficiency may lead a person to have anemia- a blood disorder that result in pallor and weariness. So, if a pregnant woman does not receive the proper amount of iron in her pregnancy diet, then her baby will be in risk to blood diseases.
