Why is DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) important in early brain development?

Because myelin is made up of 80 percent fat and 20 percent protein, healthy fats are important for growing and maintaining a healthy brain. That's why we recommend that moms-to-be take a DHA supplement during pregnancy. DHA, or docosahexaenoic acid, comprises over 97 percent of the omega-3 healthy fats in brains.

It's also why we recommend breast milk (or infant formula fortified with DHA) until twelve months, followed by whole milk (some brands are fortified with DHA) until at least age two. You should also try to incorporate healthy fats such as avocadoes, olive oil, and DHA-fortified milk into your child's diet from an early age.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
