Improving your Brain

If your kid is a fuzzy eater or vegetarian, then your kid may need fish oil.

A Healthy brain relies on two type of acid – EPA and DHA. These polyunsaturated Omega 3 fatty acids are the building blocks of the brain. Omega-3s play a role in brain development and function during the early stages of life.

Improving your brain – How it works
Fish oil is a source of omega-3 essential fatty acids. Essential fatty acids (EFAs) are incorporated into every cell membrane in the body in the form of compounds called phospholipids. Cell membranes play the vital role of regulating what goes into, and what comes out of, each cell. The integrity and fluidity of the cell membrane is determined by the type of phospholipid that is available for the body to use. Cell membranes made up mainly of phospholipids derived from the essential polyunsaturated fatty acids are more fluid and function better than cell membranes made up of saturated fat or trans-fatty acids. A cell membrane working at optimal levels retains vital nutrients and electrolytes, has the ability to communicate with other cells, and is responsive to hormones.

Studies suggest:

1. Fish oil support mood and behaviour in children 
2. Fish oil support cognitive development in children.
3. Fish oil help maintain normal eye function.
4. Research by the University of Western Australia found that women who took fish oil supplements during the latter part of their pregnancy had babies with better hand to eye coordination, were better speakers and could understand more at the age of two and a half, than babies whose mothers who were given olive oil instead
5. A study by Aberdeen University and led by professor Lawrence Whalley found that fish oil helps the brain to work faster, increases IQ scores and slows down the ageing process.

Research will continue and we will hear more wonderful benefits of fish oil in improving brain power. In meantime, there is significant evidence that every kid can benefit from fish oil. But, if your kid is fuzzy eater and vegetarian giving fish oil supplement will improve your kid brain power.
