Did you know that eating the right amount of dietary fatty acids makes you healthier, not fatter?
Both Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids present in food are beneficial to our health. However when Omega-6 is too high, it can contribute to excess inflammation in the body, potentially raising the risk of many diseases, such as diabetes, metabolic syndrome, cardiovascular diseases and so on. There is approximately 4-6 times more excess amount of Omega 6 in vegetable oils we are eating daily such as corn oil, sunflower oil and soybean oil, some margarine is also high in Omega 6. While consuming more Omega 3 fatty acids in fact has a positive effect on cholesterol level and it reduces inflammation. Make sure you are aware of the fat you are eating every day, replenish food high in Omega 3 or with a balanced ratio of Omega 3 and Omega 6（approximatedly Omega 3 and 6 fatty acids ratio is 2:1). To boost omega 3 fatty acids intake naturally, one can eat fatty fish at least two times a week. If you are vegetarian, select more nuts and oils high in Omega 3 such, walnuts, flax seeds and camelina oil.
