Common Questions and Answers about Omega 3 in catfish
omega-3
The mayo clinic says catfish is safe. There are healthier fish that are higher in omega-3s but catfish is still a safe fish to eat. I've read omega-3s are great for brain development so I try to eat as much sockeye salmon as possible while pregnant...which is only about once a week since it's so expensive...plus I've been feeding it to my daughter since she was 6 months, she's two now and loves fish.

I take one to fight babybrain. Omegas are stripped from myelin shealths during pregnancy and since they act as lubricant in the conduction of, essentially thoughts, our thought process is slowed.
I didn't ask my doc about it yet but it does clear up fog in my brain.
you know, I haven't been taking the Omega 3 since I got pregnant - they make me nauseous. I just take my prenatals daily. I try to eat healthy(doesn't always happen) but i do try. I didnt take any Omega 3 with my other kids and their fine, so oh well.
My husband hates catfish, and it is so expensive! He used to take me every friday to the catfish buffet, but he got sick of catfish once a week. It makes his stomach cramp from all that grease. . I asked him this morning why couldn't he be normal and love catfish lol. He will be glad when this craving is over!
Oh and chocolate milk is another one! I can drink a gallon in one day! Im glad I'm not diabetic like i was with our first son, I'd be screwed!
Higher concentrations of EPA and DHA, the active components in omega-3s, can also be found in LOVAZA — the first and only prescription omega-3 medication.
It is important to know that some types of fish may contain mercury and other pollutants from the environment. Therefore, the American Heart Association (AHA) cautions that some people should limit the amount of certain types of fish they eat.
t just one substance, Omega three are fatty acids just like Omega 6 fatty acids found in oils and meat etc. Omega 3 are EPA, DHA, and ALA . Some experts have said that the balance between Omega 6 fatty acids and Omega 3 is key, but just as many say this is nonsense. Omega 3 do have benefits, mainly reducing inflammation in the body, such as in the arteries or joints. It can also reduce your clotting factor if taken in too high doses, causing excessive bleeding.
While all children with ADHD are not deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, we believe that the addition of omega-3 fatty acids to the diet may be important for some ADHD children.
In fact, studies show that children whose treatment program includes only medication, educational and psychological therapy continue to be at high risk for vandalism, petty crime, frequency of alcoholic intoxication, and possession of marijuana.
and has a ton of chemicals in it. Also, farm raised salmon is far less rich in omega-3 fatty acids which aids in brain and neurological development in a fetus. That is kinda the point of eating salmon (to get omega-3 fatty acids)... so make sure it is WILD.
If you look for those 2 things you will be fine. You really should only eat approximately 4-6 oz. of fish a week though. 4-6 oz. is only about the size of your palm... so it really isn't a whole lot.
I am not sure of your question. Are you asking where omega 3 and omega 6 foods come from? Omegas 3 / 6 are polyunsaturated oils that help lower cholesterol and help prevent blood platelets from clotting blood vessel walls. The best source is fish especially mackerel, tuna, salmon, and lake trout. Fish should be eaten 2-3 times a week. Omega 3 are found in whole nuts, soy nuts / oil, and canola oil. Recommend 1-2 teaspoons of nuts daily. Hope this answered your question.
