This week on the podcast Mikki speaks to Dr Bill Harris, one of the world’s leading  experts in the field of omega-3 fatty acid research. His work focuses on the roles that fatty acids play in cardiovascular and neurocognitive health. We talk about omega 3s, their unique characteristics which makes them so important for health, the difference between plant and fish omega 3 fatty acids, how best to measure them and at what amounts we should be consuming them. We also talk about what the research shows in relation to cardiovascular disease and their neurological benefits.
