Omega-3 for children – For good development right from the start
Of course, our grandparents and parents at home had fish on the table at least once a week. And there was a good reason for this: Omega-3 fatty acids have to be ingested through food for healthy development. They cannot be formed by the organism, but they are immensely important for organs, cells, bones, brain and brain power. Our current diet, which is based more on cereals and meat, often does not meet the required needs. Children and adolescents eat less and less fish and vegetables and can slide into an omega-3 deficiency. The German Nutrition Society points out that the supply of omega-3 fatty acids, even in adults, is not optimal.[1]
