Omega 3 For Children and Teenagers
* Increasing the levels of omega 3s in kids 12 years old and below with ADHD, whose levels are below normal, by giving them fish oil supplements have shown improvement in behavior, reduction in hyperactivity, and a boost in attention.
* Fish oil, which is commonly used to treat depression in adults, also help reduce the symptoms of depressed 6- to 12-year.
* A diet rich in omega 3 reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes of kids who are predisposed to developing the disease.
* A small study has shown that omega 3 may help reduce the swelling of the airways and kids with asthma who took fish oil displayed fewer symptoms. Although other studies have not proven that omega 3s can be used for the treatment of asthma.
Again, a lot of studies about omega 3 are still not conclusive and more research is needed to fully understand how omega 3 can be beneficial to our health.
