Omega 3-6-9 fatty acids are one of those dietary components that are talked about a lot, but often too generally. Meanwhile, each of these groups works slightly differently: omega-3 fatty acids support the heart and brain, omega-6 fatty acids are needed for, among other things, skin and immunity, and omega-9 fatty acids help maintain healthy blood cholesterol levels. So it's not about reaching for each of them in supplement form, but about consciously recognizing their role in the diet and ensuring the right balance between them.
