Have You Considered This Type of Nutrition During Pregnancy?

By: Peter Foremski

There's usually a flood of advice for pregnant women about what they should and should not eat, in order to ensure their own health and that of the baby. Curiously, you may have overlooked this piece of research.

This centered around nutrition during pregnancy and how certain substances and especially dietary supplements influenced certain outcomes for both the mum to be and its new born child.

One such thought provoking study carried out in Australia compared two groups of women, one which took fish oils and the other just olive oil.

The aim was to see if by taking these omega 3 fatty acids whilst pregnant would somehow make a health difference to the child in infancy. That's got to be of interest to anyone who's pregnant surely?

They were careful to make sure that most of the other common denominators concerning lifestyle and diet were the same within each group. That's often a concern amongst readers of such studies.

Anyway, the upshot was that the kids from the group of mums who's nutrition during pregnancy included the omega3 fish oils, scored better at various tests.

These looked at eye-hand coordination, speaking skills and concentration levels, quite revealing data, which deserves more scrutiny from the scientific world.

Actually, I had already uncovered similar looking evidence from multiple clinical trials, that proclaimed many health benefits for babies, which they attributed to fish oils.

There's additional, free advice on my main site on what else to consider if you want to find a quality supplement, and take on board such a boost to your health and vitality.

*Editor's Note: Please consult with your medical practioner before taking any vitamin/fish oil/omega 3 supplements especially if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. There are various supplements now available which are formulated specifically for pregnancy and lactation.
