In this episode, we explore the fascinating connection between the Omega 6 to Omega 3 ratio and longevity, inspired by the lifestyles of people living in the Blue Zones—regions known for their extraordinary number of centenarians. Could their long, healthy lives be partially attributed to a diet naturally low in Omega 6 and rich in Omega 3 fatty acids?

The traditional diets in these regions emphasize whole, unprocessed foods like fatty fish, nuts, seeds, and leafy greens, creating a naturally balanced omega ratio. Contrast this with the typical Western diet, often overloaded with Omega 6 from processed oils and foods, which researchers now believe could contribute to chronic inflammation and age-related diseases.

Join us as we reflect on what we’ve learned over the years and discuss how small dietary changes could make a big impact on health and longevity.

Whether you’re curious about Blue Zone secrets, fascinated by the role of fatty acids in aging, or simply looking for practical tips to improve your health, this short and sweet episode has something for you!
