I have seen studies that show that for optimal heart health —the ratio of omega 3’s to omega 6’s should be roughly 1-1. Have you seen those studies?

Anyhow how much of the Omega 3’s do you take.

Do you try to avoid coffee/tea/soft drinks so as to avoid acids?

I have most definitely seen the 1:1 ratio and my wife and I try to follow it.

How do we do so? We have no normal oils with Omega-6s and we don’t buy any foods using Omega-6 oils—including canola, which is 2:1 6 to 3 fats. So; no corn, soybean, etc. oils.

We eat normally coconut and butter and palm, but will have high-oleic oils, if it otherwise is low in Omega-6 fats. We also eat avocados and extra virgin olive oil (high in monounsaturated fat), but we don’t cook with or heat up olive oil.

We have salmon at least once weekly and I take a triple strength fish oil from either Sam’s or Costco. We also eat high Omega-3 eggs (660 mg an egg - Kroger or Christopher Eggs).

When you get rid of virtually all of your Omega-6 fat sources, the relatively small amount of Omega-3s you get get you close to that golden 1:1 ratio!

Oh, and we drink coffee occasionally (no cream or sweeteners) and tea (occasionally erythritol or xylitol or the like).

We seldom have soda anymore. The acid wears down the teeth and keeps them weak for about five hours, so brushing them actually wears them down more during that time, even if ready for bed.
