"cut down your omega 6, replace it with fruits and vegetables. Increase your omega 3"
Answer:
Many people are unaware of research indicating that DHA, a mayor component of omega 3 fatty acids, is critical in brain function, specially in children and old individuals.
Fats make up to 60% of our brains. Like protein makes our muscles and calcium our bones, fats make our brain. But not any fat. We need a special fat, DHA, that’s is the major component of our brain. I repeat, DHA is the major component of our brain tissue.
That said, is very simple to understand why if we don’t supply our body with enough omega 3 there is going to be some unbalance in our brain chemistry. Therefore, in our brain function.
In that case, Omega 3 deficiency , instead of DHA our body uses whatever fats are available to work with: Omega 6 and Trans Fatty Acids.
If you don't have much DHA in your blood, man-made trans-fat molecules may be used as the brain construction material, instead. But trans-fats (hydrogenated oils) are shaped differently than DHA: they are straight while DHA is curved.
If you repeat the scenario every day, you may end with depression, failing memory, bad moods. Do this to developing brains and you have children having difficulties learning, behavior problems in class. Their neurons have faulty connections with no omega 3 but Trans fats.
No way omega 3 is making your child more hyperactive. The other way around, if it does something to your child is to calm him down. There may be some other variables in play that you have not identified.
For example, in order to omega 3 get down into the cells you need to cut down on omega 6 foods. What are those?. Vegetable oils, sugary foods, sodas, breads, pasta, cookies, cereals, etc. All grains and derivates are omega 6.
How many capsules are you giving him?. What type of Omega 3? (Could switch labels)
Good luck,
