Studies show that, for the development of a smart, healthy baby,
good nutrition during pregnancy requires the omega 3 EPA and
especially DHA fatty acids found in fish oil. Yet 85% of women
are deficient in these important omega 3 fatty acids. Studies
show only 2% of pregnant women have diets that meet their needs
for fish oil's omega 3 DHA and EPA and the other 98% average
less than 18% of the daily recommendation. Nutrition During
Pregnancy Must Include Fish Oil The DHA and EPA found in omega 3
fish plays such a vital role in a pregnant woman's health and
her baby's development that many scientists recommend at least
900 mgs of fish oil a day during pregnancy. That's equivalent to
a daily serving of salmon. The benefits for baby are: - A better
brain with higher intelligence - Good nervous system development
- Better eyesight from retina formation - Fewer behavioral
problems after birth - Better sleep patterns for a new born -
Less chance of developing pre-eclampsia - Protection against
brain loss during pre
