You’ve checked off omega-3’s, fiber,magnesium, antioxidants, phytonutrients, protein and eventurmeric!
But look a little closer, and the diet is missing an essential nutrient: omega-6.
Omega-6 is just as important to your wellbeing as omega-3.
You must get them from your diet.
If youdon’teat the Standard American Diet, then you’re probably getting plenty of omega-3s and not enough omega-6.
Ten years ago, before everything was omega-3 enhanced, we nutrition students ran our fatty acid profile.
To our surprise (but not our professor’s), we were omega-3 dominant.
You may have PMS, allergies, a suppressed immune system and a lowered libido.
(And you may be frustrated, too.Aren’t omega-3’s supposed to help this?)
The good news is, it’s an easy fix.
The best dietary source of omega-6 is hemp seed.
Hemp seeds contain gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), the active omega-6 form.
Instead, enhance your diet by taking this mini detox.
