Omega Fatty Acids are amazing nutrients that are becoming extinct in modern nutrition. They aid in all metabolic processes in the body and actually prevent diseases such as heart disease, cancer, depression, and Alzheimer’s. Omega 3s have also been shown to treat
rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, ulcerative colitis, and Raynaud’s disease to name a few. The question remains what are they and what do they do? Omega-3 essential fats have anti-inflammatory effects in the body meaning they stop inflammation. As well they…

• Increase fat burning
• Help decrease sugar cravigs
• Help thought processes
• Improves skin and hair quality
• Help you sleep
• Keep you lean by preventing causes of diabetes

One of the most important things you can do is increase your intake of the omega-3 fats found in fish oil, and reduce your intake of omega-6 fats. These two types of fat; omega-3 and omega-6, are both essential for human health. However, the typical American consumes far too many omega-6 fats in their diet while consuming very low levels of omega-3. The ideal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fats is 1:1. Our ancestors evolved over millions of years with this ratio. Today, however, our ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 averages
from 20:1 to 50:1! That means serious danger for you, as is now (finally!) being reported throughout even the mainstream health media.
