The Omega Diet

"Good fats" (essential fatty acids) influence every aspect of our being, from the beating of our hearts to our ability to learn to remember. There are two essential fatty acids (EFAs): omega-6 and omega-3. The problem with our modern diet is that it contains far more omega-6 fatty acids than omega-3s. This hidden imbalance makes us more vulnerable to heart disease, cancer, obesity, autoimmune diseases, allergies, diabetes, and depression. The Omega Diet is a natural, time-tested diet that balances the essential fatty acids in your diet. It is packed with delicious food that contains "good" fats (including real salad dressing, cheese, eggs, fish, and even the occasional chocolate dessert) and an abundance of antioxidant-rich fruits, vegetables, and legumes.
