Omega-3 is essential for the development of the fetal neurological and visual system. Postpartum also is essential for breast milk production. With each pregnancy, the mother's body is cleared of omega-3s. Studies have shown that adding EPA and DHA to a pregnant mother's diet is directly linked to the development of the fetus. Also, increased consumption of omega-3s reduces the risk of allergies in infants. DHA reduces premature pain, reduces the risk of preeclampsia and increases birth weight. Omega-3 deficiency increases the risk of postpartum depression (Ramakrishnan,2010 ). The fetus in the mother's womb receives a lot of food from the mother.

Omega 3 helps to build the baby's brain, the retina, and the fetal nervous system. In addition, omega-3s influence the growth of the cardiovascular system. Getting enough omega-3s to maintain the balance of hormoneproducing products called prostaglandins is essential. Hormones regulate. Depending on the type of dietary fatty acid, a particular type of prostaglandin is produced. The imbalance in these prostaglandins causes the disease (Dunstan,2008 ). Omega-3 therefore has many health benefits, preventing heart disease, improving blood coagulation function and controlling inflammation in the body.
