Month Baby Gap
Could your children be suffering from this?
ADD? Or could your child simply be suffering the reversible effects of a nutritional deficiency? Studies have shown that mental and physical disorders such as:
- Depression (including postpartum)
- Learning difficulties
- Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)
- Autism
- Bad moods
- Chronic inflammation and
- Visual impairment…
…are often due to a lack of Omega-3 fatty acids in the brain and body. It is imperative for us to consume these long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids directly to optimize the health of key areas within the body. Omega-3s are made up of many polyunsaturated fatty acids, including Alpha-Linolenic Acid (ALA’s), Eicosapentaeonic Acid (EPA’s) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA’s).
Omega-3 fatty acids enhance communication between brain cells by making the cell membrane more fluid. Given that every function within our bodies is coordinated by the brain, dramatically improving brain function is immensely beneficial. But that’s certainly not where the health benefits of Omega-3s end. These oils are great to sustain healthy hair and skin, elevate moods, help with the growth and development of your brain, assist in a healthy pregnancy, increase energy, and regulate blood sugar, to name a just a few.
Beginning in pregnancy, Omega-3 deficiency may result in premature birth and its potential neurological complications. Some research has suggested that Omega-3 fatty acids can at the least, prolong pregnancy by a few days and improve birth weights. While pregnant, Omega-3 fatty acids are transported from the mother’s blood to the developing fetus by way of the placenta. In the final month of pregnancy, and the first month of neonatal life, Omega-3 fatty acids are rapidly incorporated into the brain of the newborn. It is important for mothers to include extra amounts of Omega-3s into their diet during this time. Omega-3 fatty acids remain essential to infant brain development after birth, and infants who are breast fed receive higher levels of the important fatty acid.
Essential Fatty Acids or EFA’s cannot be manufactured by the body and we therefore need to get them from elsewhere. There are a couple of ways to meet your essential fat requirements: one is from the diet, the other is to supplement using concentrated oils. The modern Western diet is unfortunately very low in Omega-3, and therefore most people fall into the category of having to supplement. Many large food manufacturers have also now jumped on this bandwagon, offering everything from bread to ice cream that is fortified with Omega-3. Unfortunately much of this Omega-3 is very low quality to start with, and it is then subjected to heat and manufacturing processes that further decrease its effectiveness.
Research has shown that children with very low intakes of Omega-3s, may have less ability to focus and control impulsive behavior. There are many studies which suggest that Omega-3 supplementation provides improvement in such things as behavior and academic performance. Unfortunately, instead of developing an understanding of basic underlying issues such as poor diet, many children are given a label and medicated with very severe drugs, that can have serious and lasting side effects. One study by the University of South Australia and CSIRO, conducted by PhD student Natalie Sinn looked into the effect of Omega-3 and fish oil on ADHD. From this study, the introduction of Omega-3 was found to show an overall positive improvement in the behaviour and school performance of children with ADHD.
Another recent study,published in the March 2009 edition of the Journal of Nutrition, concluded that “There is an apparent need to create greater awareness of the importance of the long-chain (LC) omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) among both health professionals and the general public as well as the existing gap between actual and recommended intakes from various sources. This gap can be readily filled with an increased consumption of fish/seafood containing DHA/EPA, the increased availability of foods that have been nutritionally enriched with various delivery forms of LC PUFA (DHA/EPA), and the use of supplementation where necessary.” (Source: Journal of Nutrition,March 2009, Volume 139. Pp 528-532)
Not only do these studies show significant positive results, but there would seem to be no known negative side effects from taking Omega-3 supplements, which is very reassuring news for parents and children alike. Before allowing so called ‘medical experts’ to place children on mind altering drugs to treat the symptoms, we should definitely look deeper and address the actual cause of the behaviour, not the mere symptoms.
Here’s to you and your health!

The 7th Month $1.99 In Lisa Gardner’s first-ever short story following thirteen bestselling novels, The 7th Month takes readers between the books and into a day in the life of Boston Detective D. D. Warren. In her seventh month of pregnancy, D.D. should be taking it easy. Instead, she accepts a small consulting role on the set of a serial killer film shooting in Boston. D.D. figures she’ll be useful to someone for at least one night, serving as a police expert and making a little extra money in the bargain. It seems like a simple taskuntil the previous film consultant, a former Boston cop, is found beaten to death. Suddenly D.D.’s date with Hollywood gets serious. Extremely pregnant, on the trail of a killer, and surrounded by a hundred and four murder suspects in the middle of a graveyard, D.D. must quickly unravel a tangled web of lies. As another cast member is attacked, D.D. realizes that like it or not, her priorities have changedand her last desperate hope is that she can catch a killer before she and her unborn baby face mortal danger. Packed with the suspenseful storytelling that has turned Gardner’s novels into New York Times bestsellers, The 7th Month reveals new insights into a beloved series heroine. Includes an exclusive early look at Catch Me, coming February 7, 2012. |
