Olive oil and avocado are good for you.

Avocado does not have much Omega-3 in it. You need the Omega-3's in a ration of 3 to 6 to be about 1:5

If you load up only on 6's...you will push inflammatory reactions in the body.

Olive oil:

Also high in Omega-6's.

I'd suggest some flax oil or ground flax seed in some form or other to provide more Omega-3s.
Notice that flaxseed oil has enormous amounts of Omega-3:

And a very high anti-inflammatory index.

Flaxseed oil is very tasty in salads ..you can make your own dressing with it..either with a vinegar or a Seasoning mix kit.
Flaxseed oil should be kept in the refrigerator as it is not stable over long periods of time.

Females will convert to EPA and DHA more so than males. So flax seed sources will work for females better.

There are peanut butters with flax now, and also many breads and cereals. You can grind your own, as well, and sprinkle it in food or smoothies.

Barlean's has been the industry leader in flax products for many years. Keep Flax seeds in the frig as they go rancid quickly.
