Omega-6 is one of the fatty acids that our society consumes frequently and intensively in our diet. Omega 6-containing oils such as sunflower, corn, soybean and cotton oils are considered beneficial for health, but their excessive consumption has some drawbacks. Because over-consumed omega-6 can reduce the benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, which are essential for the body, the social consumption rate of these two fatty acids, which cannot be produced by the body and taken through diet, is about 20 to 1. However, the recommended consumption pattern for health should be 2 to 1 proportionally. For this reason, while reducing the consumption of oils such as corn or sunflower oil, omega-3 sources such as fish, olive oil, walnut, flaxseed, purslane, chia seeds, eggs, wheat germ, yellow mustard seeds, cloves, marjoram, mint, oats, basil and bay leaves. Give more space in your diet.
FOR EXAMPLE: You can create a meal rich in omega-3s by adding oatmeal, flax seeds, chia seeds, walnuts, fruit, cinnamon in milk or yogurt for breakfast. Adding powdered probiotics to this mix will help improve your overall health.
