How does the balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids influence fat metabolism and inflammation?

The balance of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids influences fat metabolism and inflammation by affecting the body’s inflammatory response and metabolic processes. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fatty fish and flaxseeds, have anti-inflammatory properties and can improve fat metabolism. Omega-6 fatty acids, prevalent in many processed foods, can promote inflammation when consumed in excess. A balanced intake of these fatty acids supports optimal fat metabolism and reduces inflammation.
