hey guys so in this video I want to talk

about the absolute most important vital

nutrient for an infant okay DHA

now there are a lot of important

nutrients for an infant but DHA is the

most important one because this omega-3

fat makes up 30% of all the lipids for

the brain it makes up 50% of all the

lipids for the retina so DHA is

essential in the development of the

brain the size of the brain and the

function of the brain

now many infant formulas just don’t have

enough DHA and without this very

important fat the cognitive function is

going to suffer the IQ is going to

suffer the size of the brain is going to

be smaller the vision is going to be

impaired well where do we get it well we

get it from breast milk if you’re

breastfeeding which I highly recommend

but when you make the transition from

breast milk to actual food I highly

recommend doing some cod liver oil and

one egg yolk a day okay make sure it’s

pasture raised or organic but there’s

some really great things in egg you know

including DHA you have phospholipids

which make up the the membranes or in

the brain and throughout the body and

also B vitamins which include most all

of them like folate but b2 is actually

more in the egg white but I don’t

recommend the egg white until the baby

is at least one years old just to

prevent any possible allergies that

might develop the egg yolk has vitamin A

and vitamin D and vitamin E and vitamin

k2 very very important

carotenoids this is why when you have a

pasture-raised organic egg you’ll notice

that the egg yolk is orange and not

yellow that’s the carotenoids and the

beta carotene also egg yolks are a

little with zinc and selenium and other

trace minerals and also it’s important

to breastfeed as long as possible

to maximize the quality of nutrients and

I’m not talking about till they’re 16

years old I’m talking about to a year or

maybe longer
