Omega-6 to Omega-3 Balance
Eating cold-water fish on a regular basis (3-4
serving per week) increases the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in your diet. However, you must watch the amount of
omega-6 fatty acids (pro-inflammatory) you consume to reap the benefits of your fish intake.
The ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 intake is 4:1
or less. Yet, the typical omega- 6
to omega-3 ratio is 15:1 because omega-6 fatty acids are over- abundant in the
standard North American diet.
Follow a diet that focuses on healthy fats (especially cold water fish) and avoids processed foods to help to improve their omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.
