Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are essential fatty acids because they help sustain vibrant good health. Our bodies use these essential fatty acids to nourish our heart, brain, skin, glands and joints and help the process which produces our hormones.
The dark green, leafy, cruciferous vegetables (collards, kale, turnip greens, mustard greens, watercress, etc) are also excellent sources of Omega-3 fatty acids....and they taste a heck of a lot better than fish oil.
I read that omega 6 is not so good. Anyone know if there’s any truth to this.
How much fish oil is the optimum daily dose?
