Growing brains with omega-3

Omega-3 is vital for foetal brain development and now it's thought a deficiency in the womb can lead blood pressure problem in adulthood.

Doctors also believe that if kids don't get enough omega-3, they may develop learning, psychiatric and behavioural problems later on.

A study by Dr Natilie Sinn at the University of South Australia found that fish oil supplement reduce hyperactivity, inattention and impulsiveness in half children who suffered from ADHD symptoms. Get more omega-3 to kids by giving them fish in food they enjoy.
