U.S. media: Studies say eating large amounts of fat fish is good for pregnant women.

Reference News Network reported on June 29 U.S. media said that it is well known that the presence of polylipid

, flaxseed and other foods omega-3 fatty acids are very helpful to heart health. In fact, Omega-3 is equally important
pregnant
and pregnant babies.
This important nutrient can reduce a pregnant woman's risk of depression, promote weight gain, improve physical development and brain function, and possibly even prevent asthma in infants, the Associated Press reported on June 24. Scientists have yet to figure out exactly how many omega-3 fatty acids are needed each day.
Spanish research institute followed nearly 2,000 mothers and babies from the first three months of pregnancy to the age of five.
researchers have found that eating large amounts of fat fish during pregnancy can have some benefits, including improving infants' cognitive abilities and, to some extent, preventing symptoms of autism spectrum disorder. Pregnant women eat about three ounces of fish a day, and the benefits can be seen. This intake is within the safe range set by the European Food Safety Authority to prevent mercury from exceeding the standard, and there is no indication that mercury or other fish-related contaminants will offset the benefits of omega 3 fatty acids.
recommended intake by the Spanish team exceeded FDA standards. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration recommends that pregnant women consume up to 8 to 12 ounces (about two to three servings) of low-mercury seafood per week. But many U.S. pregnant women have difficulty meeting such intake standards, which can pose health risks to their children, according to an article in the international journal Nutrients.
reported that omega-3 fatty acids, such as salmon (preferably wild), anchovies, sardines, farmed trout and mussels, can be ingested from many safe food sources. Do not eat seafood that may be high in mercury.
reported that if the fish intake is not enough, you can also take some omega-3 supplements, but need to consult a doctor for appropriate intake.
