The Polys: Omega-3 & Omega-6
Polyunsaturated fats are considered essential because the body cannot produce them. It's vital for the functioning of our bodies to eat these—but in the right balance.
Most people eat way more omega-6s than omega-3s. The average American diet contains 15 times more omega-6s than omega-3s. A better ratio is 2 to 4 omega-6s to 1 omega-3.
