Private Omega-3
Omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids are very important for maintaining good health. Omega-3 is predominantly found in fish and plant oil, while omega-6 is often found in nuts, seed oils, and eggs. When consumed in the right balance, both omega-3 and omega-6 play crucial roles in supporting your body's overall well-being. However, modern Western diets often contain an excess of omega-6 and insufficient omega-3, which is thought to contribute to the increased risk of inflammatory conditions, such as type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Since your body is unable to produce omega-3 and omega-6 on its own, it's important to consume a balanced diet to make sure there's an adequate intake of these vital nutrients. Most Western diets tend to be disproportionately high in omega-6 and lack sufficient omega-3. While this may not seem immediately concerning, this imbalance can elevate the risk of various health issues, including obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes. Studies also suggest that omega oils can help protect the heart and promote joint flexibility.
