Omega 6 and 3 in nuts, oils, meat and fish. Tools to get it right.
You are strict paleo, you eat nothing but meat, seafood, fruit and veggies, nuts and seeds. Your snacks are mainly a handful of almonds. Did you know just 60 grams of almonds gives you all the omega 6 you need – and more may be detrimental?One of the ways our diets have changed dramatically from the diets of our ancestors and even the very recent past is the ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in the food we eat. A huge amount has been written about this subject, dozens of studies have been published. I’m not going into detail, the object here is to provide tools to help you get this balance right. At the end of the page – I’ve posted some links to other interesting blog posts and articles.
