Fish oil during pregnancy improves hand-eye coordination in toddlers

 

A study by Australian researchers found that toddlers of women who took the omega-3-rich supplements during pregnancy had better hand-eye coordination than toddlers whose mothers did not.

Further, babies that had high levels of omega-3 fatty acids in their umbilical cord blood were also more likely to have good hand-eye coordination.
