An ideal dietary balance/ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 is thought to be between 1:1 and 1:3. The American diet, typically, is overly rich (often 1:20 and higher) in Omega-6 foods (e.2., cereals, fried foods. ' baked aoods, and mar- garine). Less Omega-6s and more Omega-3s (e.g., cold water fish; flaxseed oil, and dark green leafy vegetables) in your diet can help rebalance the equation. The American Heart Association (AHA) says that while Omega-3- rich foods are preferred, Omega-3 supplements may be beneficial. Recent research indicates that elevated levels of suspected heart disease markers (e.g., C-reactive protein and homocysteine) may be related to Omega-3 deficiencies. Increased Omega-3 intake has been associated with reducing cho- lesterol levels and blood pressure, stabilizing heartbeat, alleviating rheumatoid arthritis, and improved brain functioning, among others.
