Do you have a question about the role fat plays in your family's diet?
- Rating: No Rating
I'm a dietitian and creator of www.RaiseHealthyEaters.com. Each month I have a prominent health expert on to help answer moms' questions. This month I'll have Evelyn Tribole, award winning dietitian and author of The Ultimate Omega-3 Diet. She is especially knowledgeable about the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA. She has amazing insight on the important role these fatty acids play in brain development.
If you have a question let me know and I'll try to get it answered for you. When my article is done I'll post it here.
Thanks!
Maryann

Very cool Maryann!
I'm a personal trainer and also a Native American in the Pacific Northwest. Salmon is a HUGE staple! lol I've wondered if there was a test we could take that would track our omega 3's because this salmon season was awesome and we've been eating it weekly if not more! For once our freezer is full because the runs were so big again.
I'd love to hear the benefits from another perspective. I haven't really paid attention to why they are good for us.

That's a great question! I know they can test for vitamin D but I'm not sure about omega 3's. Evelyn is the person to ask -- she keeps up with the latest and greatest research. I will add it to my list and let you know when it's published.
