From the day of conception, we want our babies to be healthy that is why today, there are different products that are being launched into the market to ensure the very well development of your baby. DHA or docosahexaenoic acid is one of the most important nutrients that we need to acquire for us and for our baby.
What is DHA?
DHA or docosahexaenoic acid is a form of omega-3 essential fatty acid. The main structural component of docosahexaenoic acid is one major factor in ensuring the optimal development of the brain and eye tissues. This is in fact essential to our body and also for our child. When we say the word “essential” this means that our body doesn’t have the capability to manufacture it naturally. From which we must get another dietary source. However, we need to make sure that these sources are all natural and safe.
How It Helps
Did you know that one of the most important role of DHA is that it greatly contributes to the baby’s brain and eye development during pregnancy stage. Though, because developing babies cannot effectively and efficiently produce DHA on their own, they must obtain the DHA they need through mother’s placenta during the pregnancy stage and from her breast milk after birth. That is why most of the milk formulas that we see today say that they have DHA and how important that is for our baby.
The Best Source
Because the majority of brain cell development of a child takes place during gestation, it is vital that the pregnant woman to make sure they are getting the DHA they need. One of the benefits of krill oil is that it is rich in DHA – exactly what you and your baby needs. DHA doesn’t end when the child is born, until he grows and starts going to school he now needs his own supplement of DHA for continuous healthy brain functions. Good thing that there are kid’s krill oil which can assist the child.
As our kids grow, their needs change but there are some things that also need to be constant, like the needs for healthy meals, vitamins and these essential fatty acids.
