This Miracle Nutrient Will Add 5 Years to Your Life | This episode is brought to you by Vivobarefoot and Cozy Earth.

There was a time when we were told all fat was bad, and we should limit it as much as possible to protect and improve our health. Now, not only do we know that’s not true, we know that we need to actually get more of certain fats in order to optimize our health. 

That’s where omega-3s come in. They are integral to the structure, function, and fluidity of virtually every cell in the human body, but most of the world is deficient in them. EPA and DHA are the key players, with major organs like our brains, hearts, eyes, and skin all depending on them to do their jobs properly.

Today on The Dhru Purohit Podcast, Dhru walks us through the importance of omega-3s for our health, inside and out. 

In this episode, we dive into: 

-Why we are so deficient in omega-3 fats (8:47)

-The challenge with plant-based omega-3s (10:12)

-Why a balanced omega-6 to omega-3 ratio is important (12:12)
