It is important to maintain a balance between Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids in the diet. Omega-3 fatty acids help reduce inflammation and most Omega-6 fatty acids tend to promote inflammation. An imbalance of these essential fatty acids contributes to development of disease while a proper balance helps maintain and even improve health. A healthy diet should consist of roughly one to four times more Omega-6 fatty acids than Omega-3 fatty acids. The typical American diet tends to contain 11 to 30 times more Omega-6 fatty acids than Omega-3 fatty acids and many researchers believe this imbalance is a significant factor in the rising rate of inflammatory disorders in the USA.

The Mediterranean diet does not include much meat (which is high in Omega-6 fatty acids) and emphasizes foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids including whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, fish, olive oil, garlic, as well as moderate wine consumption.
