Oily fish while pregnant can help children stay at a healthy weight

Women who eat oily fish while pregnant may help their unborn children maintain a healthy weight throughout their lives.

APC Microbiome Ireland, together with Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard University, found a mother with more omega-3 fat in her body may produce children with healthy guts.

Before the study was undertaken little was known about how a mother’s omega-3/omega-6 ratios affected their children’s health.
