UNDERSTANDING THE IMPORTANCE OF THE OMEGA-6 to OMEGA-3 RATIO

In today's world, we hear a lot about Omega fatty acids. Omega-6 and Omega-3 are essential nutrients our body can't produce, so we need to get them from our diet or from supplements.

It is the ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 that is important. The ideal balance of Omega 6 to Omega 3 is 3:1.

But here’s the reality check: as a global population, we’re sitting at a dangerous 25:1. This creates rigid cell walls—nutrients can't get in, and waste products can't get out. In addition, an over abundance of Omega 6 can have negative effects on cognitive health, immunity and inflammation, too. Finding out where you score now is important so you can take the right steps for improvement.
