Health Tip: Pregnant Women Need Omega-3 Fats
By LadyLively on April 21, 2017
Omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in fatty fish, are an essential part of a healthy diet during pregnancy.
Opt for these safer sources, recommends the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics:
- Choose fish that are low in mercury, such as salmon, catfish, cod and sardines.
- Avoid fish that are high in mercury, such as swordfish and shark.
- Eat foods fortified with DHA, or if your doctor approves, take a DHA supplement.
- Eat eggs from hens fed DHA-rich microalgae.
