Behavioral Disorders in Children and Fish Oil
In 2002 a British study found that children living in Great Britain are suffering from behavioral or learning disorders because their diets are lacking the vital nutrients that their brains require to function normally. This particular study looked at 117 children, ages ranging from 5 to 12 years old, from 12 different British schools.
None of the subjects used in this study were diagnosed with any type of behavioral or learning disorders, but there was a possibility of them having problems with coordination or motor skills. This is known as Dyspraxia, and is thought to affect 5% of British children. This disorder overlaps frequently with dyslexia and ADHD.
The fish oils that were being supplemented to the subjects contain omega-3 fatty acids that are essential for brain development and function but are becoming absent in current processed diets. Half of the children received the supplemented fish oil and the other half received the placebo of olive oil. Researchers found that while supplementing the diets of these children with high doses of fish oils the performance of underachieving children in this study, some of them who were also disruptive, improved dramatically when their diets were supplemented with fish oils.
Children were assessed for their motor skills, IQ, reading, spelling and behavior. Dr Alexandra Richardson was the head researcher of this study. The conclusion of this randomized double blind placebo-controlled trial study was that children who were supplemented with fish oils containing omega-3 fatty acid showed dramatic improvements in their reading and spelling, as well as other tested areas than those who received a placebo.
The average progress made with the children was 9-10months progress with reading as opposed to normal progress with the placebo group. These finding were published in the American Journal for Pediatrics in May of 2005.Omega 3 fish oils Pure EPA is available exclusively from mind 1st.
