We should all know that the oils in Salmon Tuna and other fatty fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These moega-3 acids play an important role in cardiovascular health care. Unfortunately researchers don’t know yet what amounts of fish-oil supplements are safer for children. These supplements are potent biological compounds and if children take them as a supplement instead of through food there could be unexpected effects. The chair of the American Academy of Paediatrics Committee on Nutrition, Dr Nancy Krebs, suggests that you should keep offering kids fish even if they initially turn their noses up at it, Children can learn to eat anything but only if you keep trying letting them try it.

It can, according to research, take as many as 10 to 15 attempts before a child will start to eat fish, so don’t give up.

How much omega-3 kids need daily is not exactly known so, if you can serve foods regularly that have this compound, so much the better.
