Most of you will have heard from various places that it is is important to have enough healthy fats in your diet, and in particular omega-3’s. 

Although there are many other important fats that we should ensure to get enough of on a daily basis, iomega-3’s are one of the most important. This is especially the case with the typical diet that many people have which quite often includes processed foods, foods that we do not cook ourselves (that are often cooked in or have added oils of an unknown origin). Many times processed foods and food cooked in restaurants, take-aways etc. have a high concentration of omega-6 fatty acids from refined seed oils. 

Although we also need the omega-6 fatty acids, ingesting too many of them can have adverse effects on our overall health and the way in which our bodies function.
