Eat salmon during pregnancy increases the levels of omega-3 in human breast milk. The finding, published in the Journal of Nutrition, is a collaboration between the Universities of Reading and Southampton (UK) by Parveen Yaqoob, an expert in the physiology of nutrition matched.
The omega-3 fatty acids are essential for proper development of the fetus. For this reason, doctors recommend that pregnant women eat fish at least twice a week the rich in these nutrients, such as salmon. Until today, however, is clear, no study whether omega-3 would affect the content of fatty acids in breast milk during pregnancy. This research has shown that. Increasing the consumption of salmon in late pregnancy, the levels of omega-3 increases in breast milk in the first few months after birth Unfortunately, the high consumption of salmon is also a side effect. In fact, in the milk of pregnant women who eat a lot of salmon levels of immunoglobulins - antibodies, which help to protect the baby from infections - are lower than those of mothers who follow a standard diet.
Yaqoob explained, however, that "breast milk. Several ingredients that contribute to the immunity and can not say, including on the basis of this study, if the reduction of a type of antibody does not affect the childs health" According to the researchers, "is positive to note that according to the current guidelines for the consumption of fatty fish during pregnancy, women can increase the beneficial nutrients to the early stages of growth of the children to help at a crucial stage of development."
