How important is the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio?

I've been reading about how a good ratio should be like 4:1 (omega 6 to omega 3) and that if you have to much omega 6 that could produce inflammation. Just how important is the ratio? And how to make sure you eat enough omega-3? For example, I think peanut butter is really high in omega-6, but it's not clear to me just how much omega-6 there is and, more to the point, how much omega-3 should be taken to achieve a 'good' ratio, at least 4:1? I mean: would someone have to calculate everything he eats? Is there a simpler way?

Answer

My “simpler” way was honestly to get my omega levels tested; I used OmegaQuant and found I was low in EPA, a form of Omega-3. I began supplementing with eating fresh fish (canned salmon) and a pill supplement several days out of the week. 5 months later I retested and I was in the normal range.

Answer

Very important as too much Omega-6 will cause inflammation. I have a list I can message you if you would like, I also did an instagram post highlighting the only seeds and nuts I personally would eat based on their ratios.

Answer

Unless you’re deficient or have an inflammation issue you shouldn’t worry about it to much. If on the flip side you do fall under one’s of those though, I’d imagine a dr would be able to guid you specifically better.
