Fish Oil’s Remarkable Potential Health Benefits for Kids Finally Revealed

(Newswire.net — March 2, 2018) Orlando, FL — Infants and children have dietary requirements that should be met on a daily basis. There are milk products, food and vitamins widely consumed by kids to maintain and improve their health. In addition to these must-haves, it may also be beneficial for kids to obtain omega-3 fatty acids.

Fish oil’s remarkable potential health benefits for kids are finally revealed. Fish oil contains omega-3 fats, which are widely believed to be essential for brain and body functions. Omega-3s can be found in fish such as tuna, salmon and halibut.

“Omega-3s are thought to be best consumed through supplementation,” said VitaBreeze supplements spokesperson, Michelle O’Sullivan.

One of the most interesting things about omega-3s is that they have been added to baby formulas for a number of years. The brain is made of fatty cells, and supplying omega-3s is thought to be helpful in improving a child’s brain function. The right amounts of omega-3s are also believed to be building blocks of intelligence.

In a study, it was found that babies with mothers that are high consumers of cereal bars scored five times higher on problem-solving tests. The cereal bars contained 300 mg of DHA and were consumed five times every week. Mothers may need to practice breastfeeding if they want to reap the potentially therapeutic benefits offered by DHA.

According to Dr. Alex Richardson, an Oxford University based neuroscientist, it was revealed in recent trials that children with dyslexia and other ADHD tendencies experience reductions in both anxiety and disruptive behaviors. There was also an improvement in their ability to concentrate.

The children participants consumed fish oil for three months. Dr. Richardson and other scientists have not discovered yet why and how fish oil helps the brain.

Healthcare providers often recommend that parents should incorporate omega-3s in their children’s diet. This can be done by feeding them cold water fish such as sardines or salmon. The recommended intake of omega-3s for children is two to three servings of fish every week.

Parents whose children do not enjoy eating fish may use fish oil supplements. Supplements are believed to have a high concentration of omega-3 fats. However, it is vital that parents know exactly how to choose the right product.

Parents should choose fish oil supplements that contain high amounts of EPA and DHA, which are potentially therapeutic forms of omega-3 fats. It is also important to note that certain fish oil supplements leave a fishy aftertaste, which children may not like.

It may be best to choose fish oil supplements with capsules that have enteric coating, which eliminates the fishy aftertaste and may increase omega-3 fat absorption.
