Moms 147: Omega-3 and Health - www.MealMakeoverMoms.com




Cooking with the Moms show

Summary: Did you know that salmon and sardines are two of the best sources of health-enhancing omega-3 fats? Lucky for us we love salmon...and like sardines (okay, so maybe they're not our favorite fish on the planet)! Omega-3 fats are critical for good health. They reduce our risk for heart disease and are vital for normal brain development in the fetus and young child. On this week's show, we're joined by Harvard cardiologist, Dr. Dariush Mozaffarian. He offers a primer on omega-3 fats and answers questions from our Facebook fans including: Do you have to eat the skin of the fish to reap the benefits of omega-3s, should I give my children omega-3 supplements and if so, what's the best kind, and are non-seafood sources of omega-3s just as beneficial as marine sources? Be sure to tune in for the skinny on omega-3. For more information, visit the Moms' website and blog at http://www.mealmakeovermoms.com.
