24 Nov 2015 - FAB Research - Why Most People Fail to 'Get the Fats Right' - and How You can do Better!
FAB RESEARCH COMMENT:
Many thanks indeed to everyone who attended today's special seminar in London:'Getting the Fats Right: the Importance of Dietary Fats for Health, Wellbeing and Performance'
Hopefully, you will now have a better understanding of why the fats in our diets are so very important - and why it is that most people (even those who think they eat a 'healthy diet') still so often get their fats badly wrong!
For those who wanted to attend this seminar, but were unable to do so: please know that FAB will be repeating this special seminar in the New Year, with dates soon to be confirmed in several different regions of the UK.
- Please sign up to receive FAB's E-alerts to be kept informed of these and other events, including our highly successful UK Regional Seminar Programme, 'Guts, Brains and the Nutrition Connection' - which will also be running again in 2016 at 6 different UK locations, with first dates and venues soon to be announced
For those who couldn't attend but would like a copy of the seminar information, please contact events@fabresearch.org and a registration form will be sent to you. (Your registration will also allow you free attendance at one of next year's UK seminars on this topic)
It was a real pleasure to be able to spend a whole afternoon sharing a huge amount of information on this very important topic - including some of the very latest findings from research in this area. Each year, I give a great many talks, lectures and seminars to a wide variety of audiences, but the time available is usually far too limited to be able to give more than a very brief overview covering just one or two subject areas.
By contrast, this special seminar allowed more detailed coverage of the different kinds of dietary fats (especially the essential omega-3 and omega-6 PUFA) - which remain an area where there is still much confusion and misinformation even among health professionals and researchers (let alone policymakers).
It also allowed me to give far more information than is usually possible re their implications for brain and body health across the lifespan, including the latest research from randomised controlled trials in
- pregnancy and infancy
- children with and without behaviour and learning problems
- healthy adults, and those with depression, schizophrenia or other mental health conditions
- older adults with age-related cognitive problems and dementia
The question-and-answer sessions also allowed more discussion than is usually possible; and it was particularly inspiring to be able to meet and talk with so many of you during the informal discussions before and after my talks, and in the break.
FAB Research was first set up more than 12 years ago to meet the huge demand for accessible, evidence-based information on the importance of nutrition for mental health, wellbeing and performance - and we remain committed to providing this to the widest possible audience.
