Omega-3 intake during the last months of pregnancy boosts an infant’s sensory, cognitive, and motor development, a new study by Université Laval revealed. Tests conducted on infants at 6 and 11 months revealed that their visual acuity as well as their cognitive and motor development were closely linked to a type of omega-3 fatty acid concentration in the umbilical cord blood at the time of their birth. Members of the research team believe, that all pregnant women should be encouraged to get sufficient amounts of omega-3s. The best sources for omega-3 fatty acids are oily fish, walnuts, flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, canola oil and soy.
