(Health-NewsWire.Net, November 20, 2015 ) Orlando, FL -- Pregnancy is a delicate condition, and it requires women to be very careful about what they do or don't do to their body. Pregnant women are advised to consume healthy food and beverages to improve their immunity and keep their baby healthy. Fish oil supplements are one of the natural alternatives that is believed to be helpful for pregnancy.
Research published in 2005 in Archives of Pathology reveals the benefits of omega-3 fats for pregnant women. Omega-3 fatty acids can be found in fish oil from tuna, herring, halibut, sardines, and other fish. These healthy fats are believed to sustain the nutritional needs of a mother and a baby.
"Omega-3 fatty acids, such as EPA or eicosapentaenoic acid and DHA or docosahexaenoic acid, offer unique health benefits to pregnant women," said VitaBreeze Supplements spokesperson, Michelle O'Sullivan.
EPA is believed to improve immune system and heart health as well as inflammatory response. DHA, on the other hand, is believed to enhance the health of the brain, eyes, and central nervous system. Omega-3 fats are widely believed to be beneficial to a baby's neurological and visual development. Pregnancy naturally reduces the omega-3 levels inside the body due to the fact that the fetus consumes the healthy fats for nervous system development support.
Omega-3 fatty acids are also essential in the production of breast milk. Every time a woman gets pregnant, the omega-3 fats inside her body also deplete. Experts recommend increased consumption of omega-3 fatty acids in a woman's diet. These fats are associated with cognitive and visual development in infants.
According to studies, increased consumption of omega-3s can significantly help provide infants with more protection against allergies. Pregnant women can also benefit from these fats as they are believed to be helpful for preventing pre-term labor and delivery. What makes these fats even more interesting is that they are also associated with the increase of birth weight and reduction in the risk of preeclampsia.
Omega-3 fat deficiency is believed to cause depression among women who just gave birth. Postpartum mood disorder may become severe and may also start earlier with subsequent pregnancies. Experts recommend that women should consume more omega-3 fats to avoid omega-3 fat deficiency.
While consumption of omega-3s is highly recommended, experts also warn pregnant women against the environmental pollutants present in fish. The good news is that there are fish oil supplements available that pregnant women can take advantage of. Many of the best fish oil supplements in the market today are concentrated with high levels of omega-3 fats and have little to no mercury and other heavy metals (amazon.com/Omega-Fish-Oil-Supplement-Softgels/dp/B00O8NS20K/).
