That’s an excellent ratio! From what I’ve read, a ratio of 2:1 and 4:1 is ideal, and you’re right in the middle. I think the omega-6 we get from sources like nuts, as part of a balanced diet, are less of an issue than omega-6 from ultra-processed foods.

From the studies I’ve seen, tree nuts are linked with a reduction in inflammatory markers, probably due to their antioxidant content. When you get omega-6s from processed foods, you don’t get the antioxidants in nuts to help compensate.

I don’t monitor my ratio closely, although maybe I should. I just vary the types of nuts I eat but enjoy lots of non-starchy vegetables, berries, green tea, etc. for their anti-inflammatory benefits. I also avoid all ultra-processed food, seed oils, and limit sugar.

I take 1000 milligrams of EPA/DHA daily too. I’d be more hesitant to do that if I were a male though, due to some studies showing a link with atrial fibrillation It seems like the risk rises once you get over 1000 milligrams daily. These studies are controversial too. There’s not a clearcut mechanisms by which fish oil would do that.

Eating fish might be safer, but you also have to worry about increasing amounts of microplastics and nanoplastics in fish, along with heavy metals and other pollutants. There's almost nothing left to eat! 😂

Anyway, if you’re maintaining a 3:1 ratio, you’re doing quite well!
