Who can benefit from omega-3 oils?
Unborn babies and pregnant mums
Before conception and throughout pregnancy, particularly during the third trimester, a woman needs a good
intake of the marine omega-3s eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) to ensure optimum development of her baby's brain and vision.
An international group of experts have recommended that pregnant and breastfeeding women have 300mg of DHA daily. This translates to about 15g of canned sardines, 25g of canned red salmon or 130g of fresh kingfish or 5ml of NutraSea hp per day.
Newborn babies and nursing mums
Breast is best. Mothers can give their babies the best start in life by breastfeeding them. Breast milk is nature's perfect food, and contains the perfect blend of nutrients - including omega-3 fatty acids. Breastfeeding mums should also continue eating a diet rich in omegea-3s to ensure that they don't deplete their own DHA stores. This will also help to prevent post-natal depression.
Children and teenagers
School-aged children and teenagers need omega-3s for optimum performance at school. We have all heard the saying, "Fish is brain food". Far from being an old wives' tale, it's true! About 60% of the human brain is made up of fat, and of that fat, the predominant fatty acid is DHA.
Give your children all the advantages by ensuring that they take at least 5ml of NutraSea Original This is especially important for kids with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), as studies have shown that they have lower omega-3 levels in their blood than healthy kids. Teenage girls will also benefit from the soothing effect of omega-3, as it reduces period pain and improves skin condition.
Adults
|
Adults need omega-3s to prevent serious diseases such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes, and to reduce pain or inflammation in conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, asthma, chronic bronchitis, inflammatory bowel disease, psoriasis and some kidney diseases.
Omega-3s are particularly important for those who already have heart disease. It is now undisputed that fish is truly a food for the heart.
Seniors
Omega-3s may ensure a longer, better quality of life. A diet rich in omega-3s will slow down the ageing process of the body and brain. Seniors need omega-3s to help prevent osteoporosis, boost their immune systems and delay the onset of auto-immune diseases.
Omega-3s are vitally important for our mental health and wellbeing. They help to prevent and treat depression and protect against mental decline and dementia including Alzheimer's disease.
