OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS VS. OMEGA-6 – FINDING THE RIGHT BALANCE

Many of us are also aware of essential Omega-6 fatty acids. It turns out that both Omega-3s and 6s are, to some degree, essential for our health, and we require approximately a 1:3 ratio of them (one part omega 3 to three parts of the more common Omega-6).
