Essential Fats for Child Brain DevelopmentOne of the most striking discoveries in recent years is the finding that the omega-3 fatty acid known as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is required for optimal brain development during fetal and early infant life.In fact, failure for women to establish adequate DHA nutritional status has been strongly implicated in impaired brain development of their offspring, manifesting as lower IQ and an increased propensity for learning disabilities. The problem stems from the fact that the fetus is dependent upon the mother's body for much of its DHA requirement. After birth, infants continue to require DHA from breast milk during the first three months of life in order for optimal brain development to continue.From a biochemical standpoint, the developing fetus can synthesize some DHA from the elongation and further desaturation of alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), which is richly supplied by flaxseed oil), and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), which is richly supplied by fish and fish oil. However, the fetal body and the infant body (for at least the first three months of life) are incapable of synthesizing sufficient DHA to satisfy their needs for optimal brain development. Thus, it is imperative for women to ingest preformed DHA prior to becoming pregnant, during pregnancy and during their child's first three months of life (assuming they are breast-feeding) in order to provide their children with the best opportunity to achieve ideal brain development and function............
