Often listening to elders say that eating walnuts and brains, experts also said that the baby to supplement DHA, helps brain development. Brains for the baby, in the end is and to please, or DHA good? How can we properly supplement your baby with DHA? We often say, "Eat walnuts and brains," and "DHA helps brain development." Some people mistakenly believe that eating walnuts is a supplement to DHA, but it is not. Experts said that walnuts and other nuts do not contain DHA but contain linolenic acid. Linoleic acid can be converted into DHA by the body's digestive synthesis, but this process is very slow and the conversion rate is very low. Therefore, it is unrealistic to supplement DHA by eating walnuts. However, nuts such as walnuts are rich in nutrients, and it is good to eat them in proper amount, but be careful not to overdo it. How to supplement your baby with DHA 1. Breastfeeding baby can be supplemented by mother Experts say that for breast-fed babies, mothers should eat more foods rich in DHA and pass it on to the baby. It is recommended that breast-feeding mothers eat 340 grams of marine fish (salmon, salmon, mackerel, tuna, croaker, saury, etc.) a week to ensure that the baby gets enough DHA. For mothers who do not eat fish, pay attention to increase the intake of vegetable oil containing a-linolenic acid, such as flaxseed oil, perilla seed oil, etc., can be converted into DHA in vivo, but the efficiency is not high. 2. Baby powder does not need additional DHA Nowadays, many milk powders contain DHA. Parents can look at the ingredients of milk powder. If there is enough DHA ingredient (intake 700-100mg per day), no additional DHA is needed. If there is a large difference, consider supplementing the DHA appropriately. 3. Baby can diet supplement DHA after 2 years old Already two-year-old baby, the dietary structure has been adultized and DHA can be supplemented by diet. Feed your baby 2-3 times a week with DHA-rich foods (such as mackerel, mackerel, salmon, mackerel, salmon, grouper, sea bass, mackerel, sardine, sailfish, tuna, yellow croaker, saury , squid, squid, octopus, squid, etc.), and regular consumption of foods rich in linolenic acid and edible oils, if due to allergies or other reasons can not eat fish and shrimp foods, can be a small amount of DHA supplements. If the baby is still eating formula milk, it can be reduced appropriately. 4. Give your baby DHA excess DHA is good for brain development, but not as much as possible. This is because DHA is a polyunsaturated fatty acid that is easily oxidized in the body. If it is supplemented with DHA supplements too much, it may increase the burden on the body and even oxidize free radicals that are harmful to the human body. Therefore, parents should not overdo it when giving their baby a DHA. Puyang Linshi Medical Supplies Co., Ltd. , https://www.linshimedicals.com
