967066
Ratio is 4:1\n4 parts Omega 6 to 1 part Omega 3\n\nThat sounds easy, but most Americans are 8:1 or 9:1 because Omega 6's are in EVERYTHING!

I take both fish oil, and flax seed oil just to be on the safe side. But i've heard from drmercola.com that krill oil is the best

A health check would be advisable before a diet can be determined.\n\nI you have high cholesterol or high sugar. Adjustments would need to be made in your diet accordingly.\n\nI am a 95% vegetarian, but I include wild salmon, sardines or  mackerel for the Omega3 that is available from that source. It is hard to get the right EPA Omega3 fatty acids from an entirely vegetarian diet. Flax and Borage does not have EPA which is very important in preserving the cognizance and memory and helps keep down cholesterol.\n\nOne suggestion I have is that you also check your body type. Indian Ayurvedic Medicine has some good suggestions based on your body type. I do not go STRICTLY by Ayurvedic, but I do tend to follow it generally.\n\nThere is a new "FAD" diet that suggest that you "Eat Right 4 Your Type", a book that suggest your diet be based on your blood type. I do not feel that this has any scientific validity as it overlooks the genetics, trauma or diseases you might have had. I does not take your CURRENT health into  consideration.\n\nGood luck and good health in your adventure.

The American Heart Association recommends the consumption of 1g of fish oil daily, preferably by eating fish, for patients with coronary heart disease.[1]\n\nAccording to a study from Louisiana State University in September 2005, fish oil may help protect the brain from cognitive problems associated with Alzheimer's disease\n\n\nThe liver of fish and many animals, such as seals and whales, contains, besides Omega-3, the active form of Vitamin A, such as in cod liver oil

if you took a ton of it you'd probably have some stomach problems and feel nauesated. also, if you're using an omega 3 thta is fish based and the fish has any mercury in it, that wouldn't be so good for you probably...but other than that i don't think so. another thing i read said that in studies people who got took 1 gram a day were less depressed than the people taking 2 grams a day (the theory being that your body can't process it if you take too much...so it oxidizes which is apparently bad......) but then in some of the depression studies people were taking CRAZY amounts of omega 3s (like 9 grams a day) and doing just fine.

I am not a doctor, but I am a special education teacher of children with autism, and try to keep up with current autism research. I have not heard anything about Omega 3 and Omega 6 being used for autism, but I think that these are part of a healthy diet. I think that a healthy, balanced diet is important for all kids, and can help improve behavior and academics for all children. \n\nI would also exersise caution in dealing with anything that is labeled as a "cure" or "treatment" until you have done serious research into it. There are many "fad treatments" out there, and many are not shown to be effective. Please be especially carefully with any kind of "Mercury detox" or anything similar. There have been news reports of these causing death in some children. There is not enough research to know how harmful these are.

It's good for you if you eat salmon or flax seed oil to get omegas (there is also omega-6). I prefer salmon. Any "additive" of omegas in a product is not enough to be considered beneficial (just like those bogus claims on calcium), so that yogurt with omega-3 is just a marketing gimmick. \n\nIf you eat omegas about 3 times a week, that should be enough. It's true that too much animal products can still increase your cholesterol levels. As for the claims against taking too much, maybe look for articles on Eskimos whose diet consist mainly of salmon. They had survived for thousands of years on this type of food and it would be interesting to know if they had any complications that these research claims suggest.\n\nI hear the best advice for preventative/reduction of heart disease is cardio exercise (4-5x a week for 30 min), stress reduction, and a vegetarian diet.

well, one thing that u could consider are fish oils (omega-3) supplements. they are considered healthy for the heart and can only b obtained from so called 'oily fish'. but as for whether they are absolutely critical in a diet is still subject for debate. u can ask ur DR about them =>

your body can convert any fat into cholesterol, whether or not it is vegetable or animal fat\n\nEat what you like, fish is good for you but only in moderation - sea food contains mercury and other heavy metals, try salmon instead
