Should I stop taking fish oil while I’m using chia?
This will depend on your diet and why you take fish oil. We need to balance out our omega-6 to omega-3 ratio from what the standard western diet is now, around 10:1. We need to get these 2 omegas balanced to 1:1. Fish oil has only omega-3 and chia seeds have omega-3 (64%) and omega-6 (20%). If you already eat healthily you can stop the fish oil. Using 25g a day of chia seeds will give you the omega-3 you need to notice it working in your body. Remember our body converts the plant based omega-3 to the long chain omega-3 DHA and EPA that the fish has done for us.
