\"omegaUnsaturated fatty acids are undoubtedly the healthiest fats. Both omega 3 and omega 6 acids have a beneficial influence on health. They cannot be consumed without limitations, though \u2013 and it\u2019s not just about the quantity of omega acids, but also about their relative proportions.<\/p>\n

When it comes to omega 3 acids \u2013 the minimum requirement for them is about 2g, but for the purposes of preventing heart diseases it is okay to take even twice as much. It is slightly different when it comes to omega 6 \u2013 it\u2019s hard to determine the recommended daily consumption \u2013 it all depends on how much of omega 3 we consume. The optimal omega 3 to omega 6 ratio for health is about 1:2 \u2013 1:4.<\/p>\n

Omega 3 and 6 \u2013 how do they impact health?<\/h2>\n

Both omega 3 and 6 acids form part of cell membranes, are essential for proper synthesis of hormones and support immunity. They have anti-inflammatory properties, give energy, are essential for the brain’s health and support regenerative processes. They can limit development of neurodegenerative lesions or autoimmune diseases.<\/p>\n

As essential fatty acids, omega 3 and 6 have to be provided through the diet. But in order to ensure their health-promoting influence on the body \u2013 it is necessary to maintain the right proportions between omega 3 and 6. In our diet, these proportions are heavily distorted, though \u2013 in favor of omega 6 fatty acids.<\/p>\n

The excess consumption of omega 6 acids leads to negative changes in the body:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2013 immunity disorders
\n\u2013 hormonal disorders
\n\u2013 intensified inflammations
\n\u2013 development of allergies and autoimmune diseases
\n\u2013 depressive states
\n\u2013 disordered concentration and memory
\n\u2013 skin diseases, including atopic skin disease or psoriasis
\n\u2013 increased risk of developing diseases of affluence: atherosclerosis, hypertension, heart attack, stroke, cancer<\/p>\n

How to properly compose a diet?<\/h2>\n

In order to take good care of health, it is the best to take care of high omega 3 supply while also limiting the supply of omega 6. Plenty of natural sources of unsaturated fatty acids<\/a> contain both omega 3 and 6 \u2013 in such case it is necessary to pay attention to products that stand out with optimal proportions between these fatty acids.<\/p>\n

Products with the best proportions between omega 3 and omega 6 are fish and seafood, and in the plant products \u2013 unrefined linseed and rapeseed oil. Olive oil, considered to be the healthiest plant oil, actually has pretty unfavorable omega 3 to 6 ratio \u2013 1:9. For comparison \u2013 in linseed oil, this ratio is 1:0,3.<\/p>\n

In order to provide ourselves with an optimal level of omega 3, it\u2019s a good thing to supplement the diet with supplements containing omega 3<\/a> \u2013 it will allow us to maintain the right ratio of fatty acids and ensure our great well-being.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
