So many studies have found Omega 3 to have real disease-countering benefits such as lowering the chances of having diabetes, arthritis, heart attack and even psoriasis. Omega-3 oil may also help in lifting depression, reducing hypertension and even aid in cancer prevention.
Hormonal balance (crucial to reduce the symptoms of acne) and your health in general are highly dependent on the proper fat ratio intake. You simply need to maintain a proper ratio between saturated fats and essential fatty acid fats.
Nutritionists recognize that a typical Western diet has an unbalanced fat ratio highly in favor of omega-6 (including cereals, whole-grain bread, avocados, baked goods, fried foods, peanut butter) and lacking omega-3 fats, so they emphasize the need to increase omega-3 fats in the diet to make the ratio more even.
Moreover, acne sufferers generally experience an aggravation in their condition when they over-consume food high in omega-6 fat such as the above.
Because a typical Western diet (even a healthy diet) is rich in omega-6 and omega-9 (olive oil, canola oil) but poor in omega-3, you will obviously need to balance your EFA intake by consuming more cold fish oil, walnuts and flax oil that are rich in Omega 3
The recommended ratio is 2 times omega-3 than omega-6 and omega-9 combined.
