Let’s talk about how omega-3 fats help support the heart and how to decrease the risk of sudden cardiac death and arrhythmias.
Health benefits of fish oil (omega-3 fatty acids):
• They are antiarrhythmic
• They are anti-inflammatory
• They trigger genes that can help turn off the fibrosis effect of the heart
• They are antithrombotic
• They support the endothelial layer in the arteries
• They can help make your cell membranes more fluid and less rigid
Omega-6 fatty acids are common in oils like vegetable oils and seed oils. These oils invade cell membranes and make them more rigid.
It’s crucial to have the correct ratio of omega-3 fatty acids to omega-6 fatty acids, which should be 1:1. The average person in the US has a 15:1 ratio of omega-6 fatty acids to omega-3 fatty acids.
Omega-6 fatty acids not only increase the risk of heart problems but many other health issues.
Omega-6 fatty acids also compete with omega-3 fatty acids. So keep in mind that the more omega-6 fatty acids you have in your diet, the less of an effect you will have from omega-3 fatty acids.
Foods high in omega-6 fatty acids:
1. Vegetable oils
2. Grain-fed animals
3. Grains
4. Nuts
5. Salad dressings
6. Mayonnaise
7. Hummus
8. Farm-raised fish
9. Restaurant food
Start increasing fish oils, especially cod liver oil, in your diet, include salmon and fatty fish in your diet, and avoid omega-6 fats to help support a healthy heart.

You are a lifesaver, Dr.Berg! I can’t thank you enough these last 3 years during the pandemic on being healthy and living a good life!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼You re the best , DR . Berg . Your clear and informative videos are always soooooooooo
APPRECIATED. Thank you
Eric Berg is the best! Thank you good sir
Dr Berg keep up the excellent work ❤️. I hope this video goes far and wide but more importantly help to curb these sudden deaths that’s happening over all over the world
Regarding the 1:1 ratio, why are omega 3’s so essential yet found so little in foods other than seafood?
That would be from the Jim Jones Juice.
They do say, prevention is better than cure, as well as finding a cure, I want to see some honest investigation of the cause, given the assertion, it is anything but the ????? , I can only assume this is the most likely, and can understand the reluctance to investigate.
But these as not numbers, they are peoples lives
@sunrise systems Check out Dr. John Campbell’s videos.
@catitude4 Thank God someone’s awake on this thread!
Many doctors advise heart patients to cut out fat, butter and reduce meat consumption. They also recommend seed oil based spreads instead of butter to heart patients. It beggars belief. I would choose my health care professional very carefully. Thank you for all your great work, Dr. Berg.
@ My My
🎊 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 🎊
You are correct in that, my mothers dr has just done this to her. There is no talking to someone who is dead set on believing everything a MD says even when I know it’s not the best thing for her.
@R. Blakehole Please can you tell us what you did to eradicate cancer
@Diya Ciwan eat CARNIVORE- 2x animal fats to 1 protein will eliminate all sugars feeding the cancer! See Dr Ken Barry & DrZsophia Clemens, Dr. Annette Bosworth or DrBoz & Steak & Butter Gal
If you think that’s crazy, wait till you see the food choices they give you post heart surgery..
I learned a lot more watching Dr. Berg than I have during n number of Dr. Visits throughout my life! Including all the wasted pediatrician visits. Able to advise my family with informed details! Still can’t believe these all FREE !!! Thanks for all you do, Dr. Berg!
Most the time Doctor just says the cause is “Stress” lol
DRS VISITS IN AND OUT. WISHY WASHY TALK.
Dr. Berg great information as always, that very few professionals know. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us, in such a comprehensive and easy way to understand!
I remember a couple of studies on longevity, from decades ago, which started with octagenarians and looked for what they did right – not just ‘lucky genes’ explanations. One of the repeated findings was ‘cook your own food from scratch, fresh vegetables in season’. Shop bought Black Forest gateaux for a treat only, and be sure to share so you only get one slice of temptation.
The regular consumption of Olive Oil and Fish was another common theme for supercentenarians in Japan, Spain, France and Italy. There is growing evidence suggesting they protect Mitochondria and repair DNA. Diet is said to account for the prevention of as much as 66% of all cancers with lifestyle and exercise boosting that figure up to 75%. How long we live really is largely down to us.
I am a raw foodest, adding suppliments from your suggestions, creating my own healing/nutritional diet, which changes as needed. I’ve come far by learning from you. Thank you. Thank you. I truly appreciate you.
Your consuming Glyphosate, vegetable toxins used to defend themselves. Lectins & their other toxins WILL Destryour gut & health depending on WHEN YOU WAKE UP; know autoimmune hell with no iron & poor running mind body will take you down off your Idealist but ignorant pedestal!
It’s interesting that low omega 3 is associated with an increased risk of cardiac arrest, yet research (eg at the Smidt Heart Institute) has also found people taking high doses of 1g a day or more were at increased risk of AFib which is then a risk factor for stroke and sudden cardiac arrest. So seems there’s likely a sweet spot in the middle to keep the levels healthy and the ratios in balance.
I have been following you for the last 6 months. I had high triglycerides, high cholesterol and the rest. I couldn’t take Statins as I would really get sick and uncomfortable upon taking them. From a triglyceride of 217, in 4 months it has gone to 95 and all the good cholesterol has gone to 70! My cardiologist is amazed at this!! I’ve been just taking these tablets!! Thank you Dr. Berg!!
Are you in keto? How much fat protein you eat per day?
Please tell us what you did to lower LDL cholesterol and triglycerides
That’s insanely fast progress..good work.
Fantastic post!
Last week I was immobilised by muscle spasms & cramps (physical exertion) – I starting taking Cod Liver Oil on day 1, by day 3 all symptoms of muscular pain had disappeared.
Many years ago I took Emu Oil on advice from an acquaintance that suffered (?) adolescent arthritis.
Unfortunately the Omega 9 the emu oil contained was far too high in proportion to Omega 3 & 6. Of course my nutritional GP alerted me to the effect of- as my symptoms were that of immense muscular & joint pain.Emu oil was quickly deleted from the supplement list.
Thanks again for advice.
Which brands are the best cod liver oils in your opinion??
Hi Dr. Berg. I watched a lot of your videos about skin and I’ve been following your tips and it worked out for me pretty well! I was wondering if you could make a video about bowed legs, I have suffered them from a young age, and it’s been acting up pretty bad as I try to walk normally. Have tried a lot of insoles and braces to mitigate the pain to no avail. Thank you!
Once bone development has been established through your teenage years the only meaningful cure is corrective surgery. Good luck.
Your videos have literally changed my life Doctor..just keep doing what are doing, there is no greater service to humanity than sharing this kind of knowledge 🙏🙏
Grandparents may not have known the science, but gave all their kids cod liver oil regularly. We are now rediscovering the benefits!
According to your recommendation, I have been using vitamin D 10000i.u. and K2 100mcg for a long time. In 5 ml of cod liver oil (this is recommended on the packaging) there are: 9,500 i.u. of vitamin A, 1,950 i.u. vitamin D, 695 mg EPA, 415 mg DHA and 445 mg quinones (K/E/CoQ). Is this amount of vitamin D in the oil enough?
Wow. Just wow. I’m possibly facing a second ablation for a-fib, and I’m also Hypothyroid. I’ve been exhausted my whole life. My family doctor is very anti-holistic in his approach to medicine. We’ve locked horns over the benefits of proper nutrition, even though I don’t know much (yet), and in our last conversation he wouldn’t discuss anything that cannot be patented by the pharmaceutical companies. So I’m on a huge learning curve with you, Dr. Berg. I’m going to start the cod liver oil supplements immediately, and will give them to my hubby, who had a kidney removed due to cancer. Sir, I cannot thank you enough!
“I’ve been exhausted my whole life.” So have I. Trying to turn it around. We can heal! Thanks Dr. Berg 🙏
I feel his words like a sermon and started following his advice.. Thank you Dr.Eric for all your valuable inputs..
How much omega 3 can I consume on a daily? I started supplementing with fish and quickly noticed a calmness in my anxiety levels
My supplement provides 1600mg in one tsp but I want to make sure I get the highest amount I’m allowed because I’ve been quite deficient for awhile. I also have my own chickens and I eat two of their eggs every morning. I’m learning about the leaky gut/ leaky brain correlation and it’s all making total sense and I also noticed every time I ate salmon I felt calmer.
Carlson’s Norwegian fish oil is the brand I’m using and just ordered cod liver oil because I’m getting benefits already even after just starting them.
I have bp issues that are not associated with diet or exercise and nothing seems to work. I use infrared sauna daily for 30mins at 125f. The fish oil has already helped lower my bp and I’m hooked.
Dr. Berg, Thanks as always for producing amazing content. Could you please suggest if Mustard and Seasme oils are fit for regular consumption?
