Building Blocks For a Healthy Family

Pregnancy is one of the most nutritionally demanding times in a woman’s life. Nutritional requirements are higher during pregnancy to support the rapid growth and development of the fetus and replace the depleted nutritional reserves of the mother.

A diet consisting of nutrient rich foods coupled with proper supplementation can help guard against dietary deficiencies during pregnancy. More calories, protein, vitamins and minerals are needed to support the nutritional demands of both mother and baby.

No nutritional program is complete without a high-quality source of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids, commonly found in fish. A balanced, concentrated dose of two important omega-3 fatty acids- eicosapentaenoic (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA)- is important to promote developing babies.

Good for Mum, Good for Baby

Women of childbearing age who are pregnant or may become pregnant benefit from obtaining sufficient amounts of omega-3 fatty acids.Research suggests that EPA and DHA are critical to the development of the brain before birth and during early childhood. "There is a clear link between an adequate nutritional supply of two omega-3 fatty acids, EPA and DHA, and proper development of a child's brain and eyes," said Dr. John Cuomo, Executive Director of Research and Development at USANA Health Sciences, a leader in science-based nutritional supplements, " A child must get these important nutrients for normal, healthy cognitive and visual function."

Omega-3 Made Easy

Yet Despite the clear health benefits associated with omega-3 fatty acids, dietary surveys indicate that, in general, most people do not obtain enough omega-3 fatty acids from diet alone, especially now that experts advise limiting the consumption of certain species of fish due to potential contaminants. Many women are seeking other ways, such as fish oil supplementation, to obtain these vital nutrients. "If the mother's supply of these fats is low, the child may not get adequate amounts for normal development," Cuomo said. "The best way to ensure a sufficient supply for both the child and the mother is to get plenty of omega-3s into the diet before, during and after pregnancy,"
