Omega-3 fatty acids have strong anti-inflammatory properties. Chronic inflammation in the airways is a key factor in asthma, and omega-3s can help reduce this inflammation, potentially improving breathing and reducing the frequency of asthma attacks.
DHA is a major structural component of the brain, eyes, and nervous system. Adequate intake of DHA during pregnancy supports brain development and visual acuity in the baby, and may contribute to improved cognitive function and visual development later in life.
Research suggests that omega-3s, particularly DHA, may reduce the risk of preterm birth. Some studies have found that omega-3 supplementation can help lower the incidence of early delivery and improve the length of gestation.
Omega-3s can help prevent gestational hypertension and preeclampsia, conditions that can occur during pregnancy and pose risks to both themother and baby. Omega-3s promote healthy blood now and reduce inflammation, which are key factors in preventing these complications.
Omega-3s continue to play a role after birth by supporting postpartum recovery. They can help reduce the risk of postpartum depression (PPD), as omega-3s have been shown to affect mood regulation and brain health. They also help repair tissue and promote breast milk production, as DHA is an important component of breast milk.
