Patient's question:
At 9 months, I want to know what complementary foods your baby can digest to get DHA? The assistance I value: My baby is 9 months old, and I want to know what complementary foods your baby can digest to get DHA?...Doctor's answer:
Regarding the experimentally proven evidence, fats and lipids (cholesterol, cephalin, lecithin) are essential substances for the growth and development of nerve cells and cell division. Among them, DHA is a major component of phospholipids in brain cell membranes and is particularly important for the growth and development of brain nerve conduction and synaptic development. Therefore, digesting sufficient DHA will greatly enhance the growth and conduction efficiency of synapses in brain neurons, maintain efficient connections between brain cells, and make your baby's "brain internet" more developed.Advice: There are many DHA-containing foods available now, including finished products and semi-finished products. Parents must be cautious when choosing. Currently, many infant and baby foods, nutritional supplements, and other products claim to provide DHA. When purchasing, pay special attention to the nutritional components and content indicated on the product labels. Only foods that provide sufficient DHA, prebiotics, and adequate amounts of protein, vitamins, and other nutrients can more effectively ensure that your baby receives sufficient nutrition for brain development. A small amount of DHA cannot fully benefit from the supply.
Deep-sea fish: Tuna, bluefin tuna (yellowfin tuna), salmon, whale, seal, herring, smelt, salmon (Atlantic salmon), trout, cod, swordfish, mackerel, sardine, eel, etc. Among them, the DHA content in the fat of sea fish and shellfish is 2.5 to 100 times higher than that of land animals and plants. Eating fish regularly, especially sea fish, can provide sufficient DHA.
Freshwater fish: Crucian carp, yellow catfish, and fish eggs.
