0:00 Introduction: Understanding the omega-6 to omega-3 ratio
1:07 Are omega-6 fatty acids bad?
3:00 How to balance your omega-fatty acid ratio
5:25 Learn more about cod liver oil!
Let's talk about how to balance your ratio of omega-fatty acids and why you need to do this in the first place.
The average person's diet is way too high in omega-6 fatty acids and too low in omega-3 fatty acids. The ideal ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids is 1:1. However, the average ratio of these fatty acids for Americans is about 20:1.
If you're deficient in omega-3 fatty acids, you could have cognitive issues or problems with your eyes. Men may also experience problems with low testosterone and fertility.
Having high omega-6 fatty acids and low omega-3 fatty acids may potentially lead to:
• Stiff red blood cells
• Thick blood
• Obesity (visceral fat)
• Insulin resistance or diabetes
• Inflammation
• Thrombus
• Vasospasm
• Vasoconstriction
The best and easiest way to balance your omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is to increase your omega-3 fatty acids. Adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet is even more important than removing the omega-6 fatty acids.
Both fish oil and cod liver oil are great sources of omega-3 fatty acids. But, cod liver oil also has vitamin D and vitamin A. Algae is an excellent vegan source of omega-3 fatty acids.
Here are a few more ways to balance this ratio:
• Replace your salad dressing with olive oil
• Avoid fried foods from restaurants
• Consume fatty fish 2 to 3 times per week
• Consume grass-fed beef
• Limit the amount of chicken and grain-fed animal products you consume
• Consume walnuts

Very informative and powerful information as always. My girlfriend has been having some major pain in the arm after working out and her personal trainer recommended bee venom acupuncture(we live in Korea). The doctor we saw was very informative and explained everything to her regarding the body (it reminded me of you since you're more on the side of educating your patients/audience), including how the venom causes a reaction to the immune system thus I guess increasing blood flow etc... He gave a very small and diluted dosage and although she got a normal reaction (just like a bee sting), after about 20 mins. The pain was pretty much gone, he also recommended perilla oil as a high source of omega 3. Just thought I'd share this and maybe something to look into. As always, thank you for taking the time to make these videos and help us live longer and more abundant lives.

@@eyeYQ2 Yes! The keto diet, with all the animal fat, is probably one of the best diets for actually getting essential nutrients like ARA and DHA. I also avoid nuts, peanuts, and seeds because they're pretty high in linoleic acid, which we really need to avoid, plus they're not very digestible.

@joantendler6518 Жыл бұрын

@@Felicia594 Eating fish is the way to get DHA, but a slightly higher amount of arachidonic acid to DHA, which I've read should be 4 to 1, is also very important for your diet. The omega 6 fat to avoid is linoleic acid, which doesn't turn into arachidonic acid in humans in any appreciable amount, but just oxidizes into free radicals, harming the body.

I recommend to take flaxseed(O6 1:O3 4) or chia seed(O6 1:O3 3) we can make up for the lack of O3 and can keep ideal 1:1 ratio

@maria-delosangeles Ай бұрын

Unfortunately, the omega 3 found in flaxseeds, chia seeds, hemp, and walnuts is ALA. The main problem with ALA is that to have the good effects attributed to omega 3s, it must be converted by a limited supply of enzymes into EPA and DHA. As a result, only a small fraction of it has omega-3's effects, say 10%-15%, maybe less. The remaining 85%-90% gets burned up as energy or metabolized in other ways. So in terms of omega-3 "power," a tablespoon of flaxseed oil is worth about 700 milligrams (mg) of EPA and DHA instead of the 7 grams listed on the label might imply. It also contains omega 6, which might throw you off balance if you’re looking for a good omega 3 : omega 6 ratio. If you're in need of omega 3s but are concerned about mercury, salmon, pollock, and catfish are all low in mercury, and canned light tuna tends to be lower in mercury than albacore ("white") tuna. There are also great EPA and DHA supplements sourced from algae which are of course vegan friendly.

Hemp seed oil contains the ratio of 3:1 omega 6 to omega 3. This is considered a near perfect ratio, but of course, you would also be consuming additional omega 6 from other sources. However, hemp seed oil also contains a significant amount of GLA omega 6 and vitamin E, which may counter the pro-inflammatory effects of too much linoleic acid.

@angeliquekaptein5420 10 ай бұрын

Yes! I believe it does. Sorry for the long comment. I took 6 capsules a day & started to get better. Within 6 weeks I’d lost 10 kg & gone off meds, including antidepressants, thyroxine, asthma puffer, high blood pressure, pain & sleep meds. I saw a video on adrenal fatigue caused by delayed food sensitivities. It sounded a lot like “my” fibromyalgia. It said the diet for that was 30 ml’s of cold pressed hemp seed oil for 6 weeks to reduce inflammation. I experimented with different amounts of oil & different foods, then started looking on google. Grain affects memory. It causes “brain fog”. Grain, Dairy and Genetically Modified food causes inflammation. Inflammation causes disease. Possibly all disease. Raw cannabis seed;ALA and plant; THCa reduce inflammation immediately. (Too much plant can be toxic but not fatal. 6 grams gave me a headache) I also used the dictionary. I found that most if not all words have more than one meaning. Grain & cane come from a grass plant. Cannabis is known as grass. We have cannabinoid receptors in our brains. I found these “fast’s” *TAKE 40 ML’s COLD PRESSED HEMP SEED OIL FOR 40 DAYS. (You don’t need to fast. You won’t be able to. Continue taking it even if you feel unwell. It will pass. You will get hungry. He (She) was. After that; *EAT 6 to 10 GRAMS OF RAW CANNABIS AND DRINK RED WINE MIXED WITH WATER. IN 1 DAY. Alcohol increases the affects of herbs and vice versa. Drink red wine for the sake of the stomach. Do not get drunk for that’s debauchery. *IT ALSO WORKS(walks) ON just WATER. *SLEEP AND RISE (wake up, understand, see) AFTER 3 DAYS. *WASH YOUR FACE AND ANOINT YOUR HEAD. (I put it on my temples & my headache was gone within 5 minutes. Put it in before you get headache. ) (After a couple of weeks I had what felt like hart palpations. A side effect listed on my meds. After 8 + years my blood test said my thyroid level was too high & my medication was reduced. When it happened again, I stopped taking them. 4 years ago. I thought 12 + years of antidepressants we actually making me cranky, I went cold turkey. Don’t do that. It’s brutal. Reduce instead. Hemp thins the blood, don’t take blood thinners.) Take before photos. You will look different. The recipe for anointing oil didn’t work very well. But this recipe does. These ingredients are all anti inflammatory, work well for for pain & healing. Powder, 3 gm Raw Cannabis (Fresh works best. I only had dried.) 3 gm Ceylon Cinnamon 6 gm Cassia Senna 6 gm Myrrh Stir in 90 ml’s Red Wine Let soak for an hour or so until it congeals a bit. “make it like mud” Use a stick mixer & blend in 90 ml’s of cold pressed hemp seed oil. Fresh works best. Store in the freezer. A different kind of fast; *PUT NOTHING IN YOUR BODY FOR 2 DAYS. You must be empty or it won’t work properly. It takes approximately 2 days for food to pass through the body. *EAT 6 TO 10 GRAMS OF RAW CANNABIS AND DRINK RED WINE MUXED WITH WATER OR JUST WATER IN 1 DAY (or half a day) *SLEEP AND RISE AFTER 3 *USE ANOINTING OIL. The proof is in doing.

For example you might choose between consuming 5 grams of some seed oil as dressing in your salad (70:1) or to eat 150 grams of some grains (20:1)... Just based on the number you would pick the grains BUT in reality in this example alone seed oil was the healthier choice because 5 gr x 70 causes 350 units of imbalance... whereas 150 gr x 20 would cause 3000 units of imbalance... Long story short: we must always consider the amounts together with the ratios if we are going to make correct decisions. And 1:1 is not optimal either. The goal should be a ratio between 1:4 to 1:6, again: considered WITH the amounts that you are going to consume!

Would free range chickens that eat a natural diet be better? Also would the chicken breast be better than the fattier parts of the meat? Just curious. I unfortunately don't like red meat that much, but I eat salmon like 4 times a week plus other fish and then the other days is usually chicken. =/

Many thanks Doctor Berg,! Any blood test to check this ratio?

Thank you for helping me understand all this. You always make it easier to learn. I do have a question: It seems that there is more omega 6 in foods than omega 3, so will we always have a excess amount of omega 6? Thanks!

@Drberg 3 ай бұрын

Most of us really need to up our omega-3 intake and decrease our omega-6 intake. Ideally, the ratio should be closer to 1 to 1. That will help us to stay healthier. Omega 6s are found in things like poultry, nuts, vegetable oils, grains, canola oil, soybean oil, and more. So you will want to eat less of those, and more of the food sources of DHA, EPA, and ALA.

Based on those ratios of common healthy foods, it’s not possible to balance them 1:1. Even fish is 1:1, so a perfect diet of fish, eggs, vegetables, and grass fed beef would still result in a ratio of 2:1 or more

Yeah, at least 3:1 is very good if you can achieve it.

Thank you for the video I haven't got why do you recommend walnut. There's 5 times more Omega 6 than Omega-3 (38g vs 9g per 100g) While flax seed oil is just the opposite - 13g Omega 6 vs 53g Omega-3

Omega 3 from vegetable sources are in ALA form , which is very , very poorly converted into omega 3 in the body. So its better to stick to animal based omega 3 sources

i have a question. Im getting conflicting info about caged commercial egg nutritional value vs free range vs pasture raised. i have learned a LOT about all the differences. i loved that some studies said free range and pasture raised 3x more vit d, 7x more beta carotene, and 4x more vit e. then other studies or stories i pulled up said caged/commercial are nearly the same, which sounds wrong to me. it makes sense that birds that eat bugs and get outside will have more nutrients. whats your thoughts on differing studies? i dont know what to trust as im thinking about paying much more for pasture eggs (they get out way more than free range) but if i dont have to pay 2 to 3x more for that, if theres really not a known diff, i would keep getting the more affordable. im cutting way back on carbs and i love eggs, so im trying to decide what to buy. i hope you see my msg and reply, thx. :-)
