It’s very common to have a diet that’s much higher in omega-6s, as people tend to eat a lot of processed vending machine snacks and fast food. If your omega-6 fatty acid intake outweighs your omega-3 intake, you’ll run into health problems, like increased inflammation and increased risk of cardiovascular disease. To get as close to a one-to-one ratio of omega-6 and omega-3 fatty acids as possible, be sure to eat plenty of good fats on a regular basis, and minimize processed and fried food intake.
