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

I just bought Nature Made Organic Flaxseed Oil 1400mg:
700mg - Alpha Linoleic Acid (Omega-3)
154mg - Linoleic Acid (Omega-6)
168mg - Oleic Acid (Omega-9)
300 softgels for $15 @ Costco
I eat a baked potato every day covered with Pompeian Cold Pressed Virgin Olive Oil. That gets me my Omega 6 plus the potassium and other nutrients from the baked potato.
Is there a point where one can have TOO MUCH Omega-6 or Omega-3?
