Essential fatty acids

The fatty acids omega 3 and omega 6 are essential to us because we can not produce them ourselves in our bodies. When we eat these, they can transfer into other fatty acids that our body also needs, but we need omega 3 and 6 as a starting point for this. The ratio between these are very important for our health and normally we eat too much omega 6 so it is important to eat a lot of omega 3, however you do need both.
