After childbirth, some mothers complained of feeling depressed. But the actual mental state is not going to happen, if they familiarize themselves during pregnancy eat fish.
"The consumption of DHA during pregnancy at levels sufficiently obtained from food, has the potential to reduce symptoms of depression after childbirth," said researchers from the University of Connecticut, United States, Dr.. Michelle Price Judge, who quoted from the pages of the Daily Mail.
Benefits of omega-3 fats contained in fish against the baby blues or depression in new mothers in labor has been specifically studied by scientists in the United States.
However, the amount of fish consumed should also be restricted. Because if most, the result is also not good. Namely, it can be bad for the baby’s development. In principle, the mother must balance nutrition with the consumption of other foods as a counterweight.
Dr. Michelle added some women prefer dietary supplements as a substitute for fish. However, he said, eating fish is still a more nutritious choice.
Fish that can be consumed by pregnant women is also not arbitrary. Fatty fish, including mackerel, sardines, salmon and trout, should not be eaten more than twice a week. So also with the tuna steak, limited to only two weeks.
And that it must be remembered very well, pregnant mothers should not consume the same swordfish, shark, and marlin.
