How is omega 3, 6 & 9 benefits the health of pregnant women?

Omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids are important to the health of pregnant women and can provide a range of health benefits for both the mother and developing baby.

Omega-3 fatty acids, in particular, are essential for fetal development, particularly for the brain, eyes, and nervous system. Studies have suggested that pregnant women who consume adequate amount of omega-3 fatty acids may have a reduced risk of premature delivery and may have babies with better cognitive and visual development. Omega-3 fatty acids may also reduce the risk of postpartum depression in new mothers.

Omega-6 fatty acids are also important during pregnancy, but it is important to consume them in moderation. While these fatty acids are important for brain function and skin health, consuming too much can lead to inflammation and an increased risk of chronic diseases.

Omega-9 fatty acids are non-essential, meaning that the body can produce them on its own. However, consuming food rich in omega-9 fatty acids, such as olive oil and nuts, can provide additional health benefits for pregnant women, including improved heart health and reduced inflammation.

Overall, consuming a balanced diet that includes a variety of food rich in omega-3, omega-6, and omega-9 fatty acids can help support a healthy pregnancy and reduce the risk of pregnancy-related complications. However, it is important to consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian to determine the right balance of these fatty acids for your individual needs during pregnancy, as the recommended daily intake of these nutrients can vary depending on the stage of pregnancy and other individual factors.

A healthy ratio of omega 6 to omega 3 fatty acids appears to be between 4 or less to 1, but studies suggest that people who follow a typical Western diet may consume a ratio of between 15 to 1 and almost 17 to 1. They can increase the risk of inflammation and inflammatory disease. Furthermore, Polyunsaturated fatty acids vs Monounsaturated fatty acids vs Saturated fatty acids suggested ratio 1 to 1 to 1, was introduced to the World at FAO/WHO “Fats and Lipids in Human Nutrition” conference in Rome in September 1977.

Overall edible oil cost containing omega 6 are relatively lower when compared with omega 3, therefore, edible oil containing higher ratio of omega 6 are widely used in consumer market commercially. It is believed to be the main reason why over consumption of omega 6 are in common.

Since the human body cannot produce omega 3, these fatty acids are referred as “essential fatty acid”, meaning that you must get them from your diet and / or supplements.

Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) is to produce chemicals called eicosanoids, which help protect vision, reduce inflammation, may also help reduce symptoms of depression.

Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) makes up about 8% of brain weight and contributes to brain development and function.

Alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) can be converted into EPA and DHA, ALA appears to benefit the heart, immune system, and nervous system.
