Pregnant women are encouraged to eat at least three servings of fish a week. Intake of less than three servings triggered increased brain disorders in infants.

Through a recent meeting, experts revealed, the omega-3 fatty acids in fish, known as docosahexaenoic acid, is essential for brain development. In order for the brain development of babies from the womb fully developed, pregnant women are encouraged to eat at least three servings of fish a week.

This was brushed aside concerns that evolved to limit fish consumption due to contamination of hazardous substances such as dioxins and kimian methylmercury.

Professor Jack Winkler, Director of Policy Unit of Nutrition at London Metropolitan University, as quoted by the Telegraph pages, says the benefits of fish oil far exceeds other risks.

“The study proved that eating fish makes the performance of a child’s brain is far better than children of mothers who do not eat enough servings of fish in pregnancy,” he said.

A study published in the Lancet in 2007 to 12 thousand pregnant women showed those who eat less than 340 grams of fish a week, or the equivalent of two and a half servings, has children with low verbal intelligence risk is higher.

The new research also suggested that docosahexaenoic acid deficiency may also play a role in the development of behaviors such as hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children.

A study led by Dr. Robert McNamara, from the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine, found a boy of eight to ten additional fed docosahexaenoic acid proven to enhance brain activity in academic tasks than children who were given placebo.

Fish oil was associated with a number of other health benefits including reducing risk of heart disease and cancer, prevent memory loss and arthritis.
