A proper balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids not only contribute to the normal development of the body, but studies have shown they may provide a host of other benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease and some cancers, as well as staving off depression.
Omega-3 fatty acids are found in canola oils, soybeans, walnuts, and leafy greens like lettuce, kiwi, and very importantly, fish oils (which you get when you eat oily fish such as herring, mackerel, trout, salmon, sardines, and albacore tuna). Omega-3 fatty acids can also be found in a pill / gel tablet form. We recommend looking for pharmaceutical grade pills or gel tablets as they contain a higher purity. Usually about 1500mg / day is recommended.
Omega-6 fatty acids are found in nuts, cereals (wheat, rice, oats, corn) whole-grain breads, vegetable oils, eggs and poultry
