Why Pregnant and Nursing Women Need to Be Eating More Fish

02/11/2015

Michael Roizen, MD, Chief Wellness Officer, Cleveland Clinic, and Chief Medical Correspondent for The Dr. Oz Show discusses the importance of fish as part of a healthy diet, especially for pregnant and nursing women. The new guidelines call for 200mg of DHA, which is equivalent to 2-3 servings of fish per week. Due to higher mercury content, pregnant and nursing women should avoid consuming the following five fish: 1. Swordfish 2. Shark 3. Tilefish 4. Mackerel 5. Bluefin Tuna.
