Healthy Fats Give Your Body Life

By Kathryn Barry

Healthy Fats are needed by your body for many of its functions and your body thrives on a supply of saturated, monounsaturated, and polyunsaturated fats.

Right now Americans are facing an overabundance of Omega 6 Fatty Acids and a severe shortage of Omega 3 Fatty Acids from consuming too much Omega-6 polyunsaturated fats.

Increasing your Omega-3's and decreasing your Omega-6's until you reach a ratio of Omega 6 to Omega 3 in the 2 to 1 or 1 to 1 range will help to prevent such health problems like blood clots, weight gain, learning disabilities, heart problems, cancer, hyperactivity, and liver damage. Most people are likely to be in the 20 to 1 or 50 to 1 ratio in favor of Omega-6.
