According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, only 20% of adults and 6% of kids eat fish twice a week. That means many are falling short on the omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and EPA. In episode 33 of The Healthy Family Podcast, Maryann shares why these fatty acids are so important and why she decided to test her levels of omega-3 fatty acids.
Many don’t know that it’s easy to take an omega-3 index test to see if your intake is providing your body with adequate levels of fatty acids. According to the latest research, only 10% of people who eat fish twice a week have optimal omega-3 levels.
Don’t miss this podcast to help ensure that you and your family are getting the omega-3 fatty acids they need.
