Am I getting the proper balance of essential fatty acids in my diet?!


Question: Am I getting the proper balance of essential fatty acids in my diet!?
I eat ground flax seeds frequently!. I eat eggs that have 660 mg of Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acid apiece!. I eat blueberries, spinach, strawberries, and bananas!. I also eat cold cereal (Raisin bran of shredded wheat), regular milk, wheat bread, whole wheat pasta blend, oatmeal, and Laura's lean ground beef!. In addition to that, I have frequently have P&J sandwiches with natural creamy peanut butter and jelly as a snack!.

What, if any essential fatty acid, is my diet heavy on!? If so, how would you recommend for me to fix this imbalance!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
You seem to be doing well both for omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids, it's usually the first one (omega 3 family) that is harder to get because it is not found in that many food stuffs but flax seeds contain a lot of it as do oily fish and walnuts!.
Omega 6 is widespread in the usual vegetable oils, corn, sunflower, soya etcWww@Answer-Health@Com
