Our modern diet contains excess amounts of omega-6 fatty acid because of the high consumption of vegetable oils like corn, soy, cottonseed and safflower.

Healthy babies are produced when the mother’s diet has adequate amounts of omega-3 fatty acids (DHA). Oily fish like salmon is a good source of omega-3. As much as possible I support getting the fats from whole food sources, not from pills. Wild salmon and tuna, fermented cod liver oil, egg yolks from pastured chickens, and organ meats from grass-fed animals.

A diet that includes these special foods can lead to a child

  • with a higher intelligence
  • with good eyesight
  • who is more relaxed
  • who sleeps well.

Our bodies generally crave many types of the foods listed. With tuna, consider sashimi style raw tuna, seared tuna, or tuna ceviche (made by soaking small cubes of tuna in lime or lemon juice for at least 7 hours), to enhance protein digestion and assimilation.
