Omega-3 supplements can help you prevent cancer, reduce depression, stave off memory loss, and improve over-all health. But did you know that the benefits are limited or blocked in the body if the supplements are taken without the proper diet? To gain full advantage of these miraculous "good fats," you need to eat the right foods and strike the proper balance with the less healthy omega-6 fats. In The Ultimate Omega-3 Diet, Evelyn Tribole offers simple, step-by-step strategies to lower the ratio of omega-6s to omega-3s and achieve a diet that works for--not against--your body. She also includes complete menu plans, real-life eating scenarios, and recipes for more than 40 mouth watering dishes.
