Omega-3 Fatty Acids Protect Children From Allergies

A recent study from Sweden's Linkoping University found that babies were less likely to develop early allergic reactions if their mothers consumed an increased amount of fish oil (containing high amounts of Omega-3 fatty acids) during their pregnancy.  The mothers chosen for the study were at an increased risk for allergies - and an increased chance of having babies with allergies, since allergic tendencies are passed to children from their parent's genes.

Watch this video for all of the details of this study and how consuming Omega-3 can prevent allergies:
