~~~
The recommended daily intake of omega fatty acids varies depending on the specific type (Omega-3 or Omega-6) and the individual's health status, age, and gender. Here's a general breakdown:
Omega-3 Fatty Acids
There are three main types of omega-3s: ALA (alpha-linolenic acid), EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid), and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Recommendations typically focus on ALA for general intake and EPA/DHA for specific health benefits.
1. ALA (found in plant sources like sacha inchi):
- Men: 1.6 grams/day
- Women: 1.1 grams/day
2. EPA and DHA (found in fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, and fish oils):
- General recommendation: 250–500 mg/day of combined EPA and DHA
- For heart health: Some organizations recommend up to 1,000 mg/day of EPA and DHA combined, especially for those at risk of heart disease.
Omega-6 Fatty Acids
Omega-6 fatty acids, like linoleic acid, are essential but are generally easier to obtain in the diet.
- The adequate intake (AI) for linoleic acid is:
- Men: 17 grams/day
- Women:12 grams/day
Most people consume more than enough omega-6s due to the prevalence of these fats in processed foods and cooking oils.
Omega-3 to Omega-6 Ratio
Many health experts suggest maintaining a balance between omega-3 and omega-6 intake, ideally aiming for a ratio of about 1:4 or lower. Western diets tend to have a much higher omega-6 intake compared to omega-3, which can lead to inflammation.
