The health of our "BABIES"

So we've been talking all week about "Omega-3 fats" aiding in "optimal health" for adults . . .

But what about our "children"???

Well . . . simply put . . . "Omega-3 fatty acids" . . . are "NEEDED" for "ANY" and "EVERY AGE"!

Especially our "children" . . . and this why!

"Omega-3 fats" are especially beneficial for our children's "brain health".

They can aid in "sleep quality" . . . and "reduce" symptoms of ADHD and asthma.

Now . . . when "babies" are small . . . they get enough "Omega-3 fats" from their mother's milk or from formula milk.

BUT . . . after the age of 1 . . . their diet becomes this Western diet we love so much . . .

And with this . . . they too . . . become "deficient" in "Omega -3 fats" . . . due to the majority of their diet now becomes filled with "Omega-6 fats" . . .

Hence, this Western world we live in.

So how much "Omega-3 fat" is recommended for our children???

Well . . . The U.S. National Institute for Health states:

0-12 months . . .0.5 grams per day

1-3 years . . . 0.7 grams per day

4-8 years . . . 0.9 grams per day

Girls 9-13 years . . . 1.0 grams per day

Boys 9-13 years . . . 1.2 grams per day

Girls 14-18 years . . . 1.1 grams per day

Boys 14-18 years . . . 1.6 grams per day

But as always . . . please check with your own healthcare provider before taking or giving your children any new regiment.

So what about adults???

How much do we need???

Well . . .

Women 19-50 years . . . 1.1 grams per day

Men 19-50 years . . . 1.6 grams per day

Women 51+ years . . . 1.1 gram per day

Men 51+ years . . . 1.6 grams per day

And next week . . . we'll continue

Have a safe, healthy and "mindful" weekend.
