How to Lower Your Fish Oil Dosage…but Still Get ALL its Benefits |
| Omega-6 is the ‘other’ essential fat. But the average American diet has 20 times too much Omega-6.Unfortunately, Omega-6 competes with Omega-3 for positions in your cells.
Think musical chairs. There is one chair. Ten Omega-6 and one Omega-3. Who do you think is going to win? Yup, you guessed it. If you reduce the amount of Omega-6 in your diet, the same number of fish oil pills you currently take will become more effective because more of it is incorporated into your cell without competition.
Replace these oils with Olive or Canola, which have a lot more Omega-3 and less Omega-6. |
