This poster emphasizes the importance of maintaining a balanced ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids in our diet, highlighting the detrimental effects of an imbalance. The Industrial Revolution significantly altered this ratio, causing many individuals to have skewed ratios of 1:12 or even 1:25, favouring Omega-6.
An ideal ratio of 1:1 reduces inflammation, while an Omega-6 dominance leads to various diseases. They lie in vegetable oils, and eliminating oil consumption is recommended. Incorporating Omega-3-rich foods like ground flax seeds and algae-based DHA/EPA supplements is advocated for overall health.
