This episode will shed light on impacts of imbalanced ratios of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids, more particularly a high ratio, is associated with an increased risk of various chronic diseases. This is primarily due to the differing effects these fatty acids have on the body. Omega-3 fatty acids possess anti-inflammatory properties, while omega-6 fatty acids are generally considered to be less anti-inflammatory or even pro-inflammatory in excess. A high omega-6/omega-3 ratio can promote inflammation and negatively impact gene expression, contributing to the development of conditions like cardiovascular disease, cancer, obesity, and autoimmune disorders.   Take the next step in your health journey!
