Omega goodness during Pregnancy

Let’s have a chat about Omega goodness today.

The Omega’s are generally knows as brain food as these incredible minerals give both you and your baby a boost during pregnancy. Omega’s is the best for brain development.

It is very important that you have an Omega rich pregnancy diet and nutrition plan. Your growing developing baby relies solely on you for all the vitamins, minerals, calories and nutrients he or she needs for perfect development. A good pregnancy diet and nutrition plan covers both of your nutritional needs,therefor it should be well balanced.

Omega rich foods are particularly essential for you and your baby as they provide your baby with the energy and materials that are necessary for good physical and mental growth and development. It is very good for you too and a very necessary compound for both health.

Omega oils are called essential fatty acids for a reason. The human body cannot produce these fatty acids on its own, therefore you have to make these a must have in your pregnancy diet and nutrition plan. You will reap its many nutritional benefits, both you and your little one.
During your third trimester you transfer most of the DHA to your baby, therefor Omega oils are vitally important to you too.

Here is a list for you of good sources rich in Omega-3 fatty acids:

*Cabbage
*Canola Oil
*Cauliflower
*Flaxseeds
*Flaxseed oil
*Mustard Seeds
*Oregano
*Sardines
*Walnuts
*Walnut Oil
Here is a list for you of good sources rich in Omega-6 fatty acids:
*Sunflower
*Olive Oil
*Maize / corn
*Safflower and peanut
*Nuts
*Seeds
*Eggs
*also any food made with the above, like salad dressings and margarine’s

The best sources of Omega-3 and Omega-6 essential fatty acids if cold water fish such as salmon, tuna, sardines, anchovies and herring. There are of course the issue that we should all be concerned about, I’m talking about the mercury and other toxins in fish. For this reason it is probably safer to just take some purified fish oil supplements like these Nordic Naturals Complete Omega 3.6.9, Lemon Flavored, 180 Soft Gels. I personally use these and the comments from other users is absolutely true, here is a few:
“ There is no “fishy” aftertaste. ” Sue
“ I have tried several fish oil products but this has proved to be superior in quality. ” Tambo
“ Instead of making you feel listless or even more depressed -this makes you feel amazingly good, energetic and basically improves your skin and hair. ” Rebecca Johnson

The above supplements can be taken and you will get the full health benefits without the risk of toxicity. We also have to get all the Omega fatty acids, 3, 6 and 9 in our pregnancy diet and nutrition plan as they all differ from each other in their chemical structure. We do not get enough of any of these in our modern daily diets therefor I recommend that you take supplements to make sure you get your daily dose.
