Why Every Child Should be
Taking Omega-3 Fish Oils
Millions of people have seen
the recent surge in publicity surrounding fish oils and brain development
in children, as featured by Professor Robert Winston in the BBC programme
"Child of Our Time", which was based on recent studies conducted
at Durham University.
Important consequences
for cognitive and behavioural development!
According to Professor
Robert Winston in his book, The Human Mind, which examines the role
of omega-3s in brain development, only one third of people in Britain are
regularly eating the government's minimum recommendation of 1-2 portions
of oily fish per week. This has important consequences not just for the
health of the general population, but for child development in particular.
Recent scares regarding heavy metal contamination in farmed fish means
that many parents are avoiding consumption of fresh fish and this is where
Eskimo Kids can really help. Rightly the government maintain their
recommendations that fresh fish should be eaten regularly but why not help
safeguard against omega-3 deficiency by including a teaspoon of Eskimo
Kids daily as well?
The outstanding
advantages of Eskimo Kids:
-
Eskimo Kids provides a mixture of
omega 3, 6 and 9 which all have a role in cognitive function.
-
The fish oil used in Eskimo Kids is
from fresh, deep-sea fish, not farmed fish that has been found to
contain high levels of contaminants.
-
Eskimo Kids oil has been purified to
reduce environmental toxins such as mercury and pesticides, like PCBs
and DDT, to well below the current acceptable limits.
-
Contains vitamin D, an essential
nutrient for healthy bone development in the growing child.
-
Added vitamin E helps to maintain the
stability of the oil, which keeps it fresh for longer.
-
Kids love the natural tutti-frutti
flavour, which comes from a combination of orange, raspberry, lemon
and cherry oils.
Eskimo Kids capitalizes
on research
Studies demonstrate that it
is not just omega-3 fatty acids that are vital for child development, but
omega-6 and omega-9 fatty acids play a crucial role too, particularly with
regard to cognitive and behavioural development. Eskimo Kids capitalizes
on this research and combines natural stable fish oil with natural plant
oils to provide a balance of all three types of fatty acid. Eskimo Kids
also contains vitamins D and E to support bone development and provide
antioxidant power.
Not just for cognitive
support . . .
Fish oil plays a role in
many other biochemical processes - here are just three:
-
Fish oil plays a
significant role in supporting the cardiovascular system because of
its effect on lipoproteins, cholesterol, prostaglandins and
fibrinogen.
-
Omega-3 fatty acids help
to keep the skin supple and elastic.
-
Fish oil has been well
researched for its role in helping to support healthy joints.
What about mercury,
dioxins and PCBs?
You will be reassured to
know that Eskimo Kids is made by the company that brought you Eskimo-3
which has been shown in independent tests to be one of the purest and
least contaminated fish oils on the market. Eskimo Kids contains the same
renowned omega-3 oil that has made Eskimo-3 Nutri's most popular product.
A survey by the Food Safety
Authority of Ireland examined a range of popular European fish oil
supplements for contaminants and of all the fish oils tested, Eskimo-3
stable fish oil was found to have the lowest levels (including dioxins and
dioxin-like PCBs). You will also be reassured to know that heavy metal
contaminants such as cadmium and mercury were below detection levels in
Eskimo-3. Of course, the same stringent purity standards have also been
applied to Eskimo Kids, so we know we are recommending one of the purest
essential fatty acid supplements around.
Tastes so good they'll
even lick the spoon!
There's no need to worry
about whether or not children will actually agree to take Eskimo Kids
because it has been specially developed with them in mind. Since launching
Eskimo Kids last year it has become a best seller in record time -
evidence enough that children all over the country are happy to take it
and many simply adore the tutti-frutti flavour - so even the fussiest
eaters have few objections!
No artificial additives
It
is difficult to create a product children will like without adding
highly questionable additives like sweeteners and undesirable
flavourings, but Eskimo Kids has managed it. It is common knowledge that
many children react badly to some artificial additives but there is no
such problem with Eskimo Kids. It has a pleasant tutti-frutti flavour
made purely from a mixture of cherry, raspberry, orange and lemon fruit
oils - without any sugars or sweeteners. Delicious enough for some kids
to even lick the spoon!
Eskimo Kids - even for
those with a healthy diet
If you think that fish oil
is unnecessary for someone eating a healthy diet, think again! Even those
eating balanced, whole and organic diets can benefit from extra essential
fats. These days processing techniques and farming methods can mean even
the most balanced diets can struggle to provide optimum levels of omega-3,
6 and 9. Low fat diets and concern over obesity also mean that it is more
likely than ever for people to be suffering from a lack of healthy fats in
the diet.
What makes Eskimo Kids
better than other fish oils?
Here are a few of the
reasons why Eskimo Kids should be your first choice when it comes to
choosing an essential fatty acid supplement for children:
-
Eskimo Kids is virtually
free from environmental contaminants unlike many other essential fatty
acid supplements on the market today.
-
It contains natural fish
oil, which has not been chemically modified. Some fish oil products
have been chemically modified in order to increase the concentrations
of EPA and DHA. Several studies indicate that natural fish oils can
have more favourable effects than chemically modified products.
-
Natural antioxidants are
added during processing, making these products incredibly stable. Most
essential fatty acid products available today become rancid when
exposed to air.
-
The oil remains fresh
for longer and has no fishy smell or aftertaste!
Take it like a
multi-vitamin
Get maximum results from
Eskimo Kids and do the children in your life a huge favour. Get the most
out of essential fatty acid supplementation and recommend that it be taken
daily alongside a multivitamin-mineral. |
