Hi guys, in this video we're going to talk about omega-6 fatty acids and inflammation.

Now, as you may not know or you may know, omega-6 basically will increase your inflammation.

Omega-3 fatty acids decrease inflammation. They're anti-inflammatory.

Now, in America, the ratio is 1 to 20 omega-6. In other words, people consume way, way more omega-6

than omega-3. Ideally, it needs to be 1 to 1. What does that mean? It tells us what

we need to be eating because look at these are the omega-6 fatty acid foods, poultry, nuts, vegetable

oils like corn, oil, grains, flax oil, pumpkin seed oil, canola, soybean, cotton seed, sunflower.

But some of these here do have omega-3, but they're heavier on the omega-6 fatty acid. So these

will tend to create more inflammation if you don't have these right here. Fish oils,

coder boil, sardines, fish, anchovies, grass-fed eggs, grass-fed beef, beef, things like that,

or even some dairy. So basically, we want to balance these out. Now, the problem is,

like flax oil, for example, can convert to omega-3 DHA, which is a certain type of essential

fatty acid, but it only converts in smaller amounts. So what I'm saying is animal food or fish

has a lot more bioavailable omega-3 DHA and EPA. Those are very specific types of fats. Then these

other ones, because the other ones have to convert. So it's harder for your body to convert

like grains or even flax oil or sunflower to the thing that you really need. So again,

here's just like something that you want to, if you want to know what would be the ideal

food that we need, just look at what's out there and what's absorbed. And apparently our diets,

our bodies were designed to consume some of these foods right here. Now, the problem with fish oils,

especially if you buy it at probably the local grocery store, you're going to get
