- Best vegetarian source of Omega 3 - Contains Omega 3, 6 and 9 - Balance intake of Omega 3 to 6 ratio As most of the oils we eat contain little Omega 3 (except Canola oil which is not a rich source). Unless you are taking fish or Flaxseed oil daily , the Omega 3 Fat in your diet will not give you the best Omega 3 to 6 ratio for optimum health. Modern diet averages a 1:20 ratio, not enough to give deficiency but not optimum either. Scientists recommend that an intake ratio of 1:4 is the ideal. It is not easy to achieve this ratio based on the common food we eat. Hence many people choose to supplement their diet with Fish oil (may be contaminated with heavy metals) or Flaxseed capsules to improve Omega 3 daily intake for better functioning of the body. But to get the 1:4 ratio you will need to reduce the normal fats that you are eating and replace them with Flaxseed oil. It is highly recommended that anyone above 12 years of age should consume at least 1 table spoonful of Flaxseed oil daily for better intake of Omega 3 fat. It may be interesting to know Omega 3 fat plays such an important role in Human evolution that it is responsible for our brain size increase during the early stages.
