Inflammation and omega-3 fatty acids are related because omega-3 fats like DHA regulate inflammation [1], highly unsaturated omega-3s from fish reduce it [2], and maintaining omega-3/omega-6 balance helps reduce inflammation [3]. Omega-3 polyunsaturated fats are anti-inflammatory [4], and their consumption reduces inflammatory proteins [5], supported by studies on their role in inflammation [6] and supplementation effects [7].
