Why you should add more fish to your diet

We've heard the rumours that modern diets and lifestyle habits will be our undoing. Foods that contain higher Omega 6 promote an inflammatory state, and foods high in Omega 3 encourage the reduction of inflammation in your body. According to an aptly named study, The Importance of omega 6-omega 3 essential fatty acids ratio, most western diets contain a 16:1 ratio for Omega 6 to Omega 3s, which heavily favours an inflammatory state. As your body still needs Omega 6, you can swap in healthier forms of Omega 6 by including more foods like nuts and seeds, poultry, eggs, avocado, and tofu into your diet. You may see Omega 3 enriched foods referencing multiple acronyms that make no sense, so let's demystify this.
