Below 8% you might consider supplements, since although Omega-3 occurs naturally in fatty
fish, most people do not have sufficient intake of them, which should at least equal two portions
of (preferably) fatty fish per week.
Consider supplements to provide you with a minimum of
500 mg and up to 1000 mg of EPA and DHA, the two vital components of
Omega-3. You also
need to consider the balance of Omega-3 and Omega-6.

Typically we ingest too many
Omega-6 fatty acids from meat,
dairy produce and vegetable
oils, such as safflower, sunflower, corn, sesame and peanut oil.
Reducing Omega-6 intake and boosting Omega-3 can bring you in between the 5:1 up to
2:1 optimal balance, versus the
15:1 ratio so common in
Western diet. |
