What do you mean when you say we need to fix the Omega-3 & Omega-6 imbalance?

Improving the balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids is also required to allow the brain to recover.  Omega-6 fatty acids are natural chemicals found in plants and are required to activate healthy levels of inflammation to repair tissue or fight infection in the body. Omega-3 fatty acids are natural chemicals found in plants and animal flesh and act as a counterbalance to help turn off inflammation after it is no longer necessary. nnUnfortunately, our modern food supply contains excessive inflammation-promoting omega-6 fatty acids and deficient amounts of inflammation extinguishing omega-3 fatty acids.  This imbalance is another source of inflammation that contributes to ongoing ANS dysfunction. nnWe resolve this imbalance and reduce inflammation by increasing our omega-3 (fish oi) consumption and by reducing our consumption of omega-6 oils. The addition of Olive Oil (omega-9) also protects against omega-6 oils.
