This. It's a lot easier to increase n3's through consumption of chia seeds and nuts than it is to cut out n6's, because those are in most factory farmed meat and fat sources.

It depends on your genetics. the genes FADS1 and FADS2 will dictate how much of those short chain omega 3 you can turn into the long chain omega 3, like EPA and DHA, which ate the reason for the metabolic reversal.

Also since Omega 6 and Omega 3 compete for the FADS1 and FADS2 activity, eating less Omega 6 will always help.
