When omega-6s dramatically outweigh omega-3s, your body ends up in a more pro-inflammatory state.

โœ… Add more omega-3-rich foods like salmon, sardines, walnuts, flax, and chia.
โœ… Reduce excess seed oils + processed foods that skew the ratio.

15 medjool dates, with the pits
ยพ cup walnuts

ยผ teaspoon kosher salt
1 ยผ cups whole milk greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
ยฝ teaspoon orange zest
2 teaspoons honey

Add the dates to a bowl and cover with very hot water. Cover and let sit for 15 minutes. Drain, pat dry, and cut in half, removing the pit. Grease a pie plate with butter or oil and set aside.
Add the soaked dates, nuts, and salt to the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment. Pulse together until the mixture is finely chopped. The mixture should hold together when pressed between your fingers.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared pie plate. Lightly spray your hands or the bottom of a flat dry measuring cup with nonstick spray and gently press the crust out to cover the base and the sides of the pie plate.
In a medium bowl, mix together the yogurt, vanilla bean paste, orange zest, and honey. Spoon the mixture into the pie plate and smooth into an even layer.
Arrange the fruit in your desired pattern. Loosely cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving.

If youโ€™re constantly crunching on ice, this isnโ€™t just a quirky habit, it could be a ๐ซ๐ž๐ ๐Ÿ๐ฅ๐š๐  for iron deficiency or anemia. This craving, called ๐™ฅ๐™–๐™œ๐™ค๐™ฅ๐™๐™–๐™œ๐™ž๐™–, often shows up alongside fatigue, hair thinning, cold hands and feet, or pale skin.

It may also point to impaired absorption in the gut, particularly if you're eating a balanced diet but still showing signs of depletion.
