  • Following a diet higher in the omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid may help support cardiometabolic health, and lower a person's risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease, a new study indicates.

The article from AOL highlights the health benefits of omega-6 fatty acids found in nuts, seeds, and certain oils, emphasizing their role in promoting heart health, reducing inflammation, and supporting brain function. It explains that omega-6 fatty acids, such as linoleic acid, are essential fats that the body cannot produce on its own, necessitating dietary intake. The piece also discusses the importance of maintaining a balanced ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 fatty acids for optimal health, suggesting sources like walnuts, flaxseeds, and sunflower seeds as good options. Additionally, it touches on the potential risks of consuming too much omega-6, which could lead to inflammation if not balanced properly with omega-3s.
