Moms-to-be, please note–try to eat at least three portions of fish a week. Experts claim that it will reduce the risk of your children developing brain disorder.<br/> A new research has found that omega3 fatty acids found<br/>in fish, known as docosahexaenoic acid, are essential for the<br/>brain to function properly.<br/> According to the experts, the benefits of fish<br/>oil far outweighed other risks or concerns about the presence<br/>of potentially harmful contaminants in fish such as dioxins<br/>and methylmercury, which could harm a baby in the womb.<br/>Professor<br/>Jack Winkler, the Director of Nutrition Policy Unit at London<br/>Metropolitan University said that there has been research which indicates that women<br/>who have eaten more fish than those recommendations suffer no<br/>harm but their child's brain performance improved.<br/> Prof Michael Crawford, Director of the Institute<br/>of Brain Chemistry and Human Nutrition at London Metropolitan<br/>University said, unlike the rest of the body, the brain is mainly<br/>made of fat. It needs these fatty acids for brain growth and<br/>development.<br/> Their research also suggested that docosahexaenoic<br/>acid deficiency may also play a role in the development of<br/>behavioural disorders such as ADHD in children.<br/> The findings have been presented at a conference held<br/>at the Royal Society of Medicine in London.
