A Dietary Crisis
The diet of early humans, until very recently, contained much larger quantities of Omega-3 fatty acids and much fewer Omega-6s. This intake was essential to the success of the human species to dominate the globe. The larger intake of Omega-3s was required to support the larger human brain and the physical demands necessary for survival as we expanded into all corners of the world.
The Omega-6 and Omega-3 fatty acids are as essential to human life as water. They have served as the structural building blocks for cell membranes ever since the first cell appeared 3 billion years ago. But they also serve important hormone functions. Hormones that control blood flow, new brain cell production, inflammation, and pain.
Lower Inflammation
Sadly, the average ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 today is 24:1 where it used to be 5 to 1 or lower. This imbalance starts from childhood due to a variety of factors related to our modern food supply.
This imbalance has a wide spectrum of health implications, including premature loss of brain function, inflammatory conditions of the joints, poor immune function, and an increased risk of obesity, metabolic and cardiovascular diseases.
