Studies have found that pregnant women eating fish may help reduce the risk of preterm birth

According to the US “Qiaoqiao Daily” reported on August 5, many pregnant women will not eat marine fish during pregnancy, fearing that mercury in the fish will harm the fetus, but Harvard University published in the journal EBioMedicine. The latest research indicates that pregnant women who do not eat fish during pregnancy are at most 10 times more likely to have a risk of preterm birth and are not conducive to their brain development.

According to the Daily Mail, the Harvard Science team analyzed blood samples from 376 women born prematurely in Denmark for 34 weeks between 1996 and 2003, and compared them with blood samples from 348 women who were pregnant in October. The results showed that the concentration of omega-3 (OMEGA3) fatty acids in the blood of premature women was too low. The natural sources of the fatty acids were salmon, phoenix, carp and marine fish such as tuna and squid.

The study pointed out that the scientific team divided the concentration of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood of pregnant women into five groups. The lowest risk was 10 times higher than the highest premature, and the second lowest was 2.7 times higher. Therefore, it is recommended that women be pregnant. After the supplement should be more omega-3 fatty acids to avoid premature birth.

The research team pointed out that many pregnant women are worried that marine fish contain mercury, which will have adverse effects on the fetus, so they will not eat these fish at all. But in fact, pregnant women still need to eat marine fish during pregnancy. If they are concerned about the risk of mercury, they can use fish oil supplements instead. This study is also helpful for medical aspects such as obstetrics and gynaecology. In the future, it is also possible to predict the preterm birth rate according to the DHA concentration in the blood of pregnant women. ( Zhou Simin Tan Liya)
