Fish Containing DHA is a rich source of Omega-3 Fatty Acid for Mother
The Terms docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may sound innocuous enough but this particular poly unsaturated fatty acid is gaining a stellar role in mother and child nutrition.
Emerging research shows that expectant mothers who receive sufficient amounts of DHA during pregnancy, have smarter babies.
It is not as if DHA has suddenly become a prerequisite. The Riches source of DHA is Omega-3 fatty acids, contained mostly in cold-water fish such as mackerel, sardine, hilsa and salmon. Mothers to be can Ingest it in capsule form but vegetarians will not do so. Now, genealogists are saying that fortified foods (health drinks for instance) can also provide DHA.
DHA is considered particularly important because it is essential for the development of sensory and psychomotor (eye-hand coordination) functions. The coating of the brain has these fatty acids as does the terina. DHA is passed from mother to foetus throughout pregnancy, but especially during the third trimester which is when the baby's brain grows.
What it does - A DHA Supplemented diet, according to doctors, significantly improves eye-hand coordination, increases the mental developmental index of the infant, improves visual acuity (as DHA attaches to the outer layers of the retina), and more importantly, reduces the occurrence of pre-term delivery, improves birth weight and helps reduce post delivery depression in young mothers
What is DHA ?
Docosahexaenoic acid is said to be concentrated in the neurons and synapses of the brain, ensuring optimal function of brain cell membranes.
So, any deficiency can lead to deficits in brain function.
Also, low levels of DHA have been correlated to dementia, depression, memory loss and visual problems.
