Let's talk about how to balance your ratio of omega-fatty acids and why you need to do this in the first place. The average person's diet is way too high in omega-6 fatty acids and too low in omega-3 fatty acids. The ideal ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids is 1:1. However, the average ratio of these fatty acids for Americans is about 20:1. If you're deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, you could have cognitive issues or problems with your eyes. Men may also experience problems with low testosterone and fertility. Having high omega-6 fatty acids and low omega-3 fatty acids may potentially lead to: • Stiff red blood cells • Thick blood • Obesity (visceral fat) • Insulin resistance or diabetes • Inflammation • Thrombus • Vasospasm • Vasoconstriction The best and easiest way to balance your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is to increase your omega-3 fatty acids. Adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet is even more important than removing the omega-6 fatty acids. Both fish oil and cod liver oil are great sources of omega-3 fatty acids. But, cod liver oil also has vitamin D and vitamin A. Algae is an excellent vegan source of omega-3 fatty acids. Here are a few more ways to balance this ratio: • Replace your salad dressing with olive oil • Avoid fried foods from restaurants • Consume fatty fish 2 to 3 times per week • Consume grass-fed beef • Limit the amount of chicken and grain-fed animal products you consume • Consume walnuts Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio: Dr. Berg, age 57, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis & Intermittent Fasting.
