Great Article! Yes Omega 3 is amazing it helps use fight off inflammation which is the MAJOR cause of most diseases known to man (heart disease, Cancer, diabetes, fibromyalgia, Chronic Fatique ). Every one wants to have a healthy body and live a long productive life. But few of us know what to do to keep ourselves healthy like getting more Omega 3 into our diets.

It is imperative that expectant mothers consume DHA during pregnancy. Even, really from a logical point of view.. our brain is composed of almost entirely DHA so nourishing it with that same substance will obviously improve its function. Consider a high performance automobile running on low grade on Gasoline all the time..while it still has power to run it cannot reach it’s full potential unless it is properly fueled and tuned.
Same concept applies to our brains! I’ve tried about 4 brands trying to find the best for me.. comparing price vs. quality and finally decided on Neurovi,com about two weeks ago because they are pharmaceutical grade.
In either case, we would ALL benefit from taking even one pill a day.

Researches were true regarding Omega3 involving in brain development.DHA present in Omega 3 is essential for the growth and functional development of the brain in infants.The turnover of DHA in the brain is very fast. It is also present in mother’s milk.I took Omega 3 supplement (neurovi.com) while I was pregnant. I think it is better because it had more DHA.

DHA is about the most important of the Omega 3 fatty acids, and DHA makes up a huge percentage of our brains. There is evidence that if women take more Omega 3 during pregnancy this helps the brain to develop in the fetus.

Definitely true. I have started to see memory improvements once I started to take my omega3 suplements and others.
I believe though, that a healthy diet makes a lot of different too. The days where I just eat a lot of junk food, I don’t perform as well.
Good stuff bro.
