The Standard American Diet is high in omega-6 fatty acids and low in omega-3s, which can tip a healthy body system out of balance and allow low levels of inflammation to occur.

Omega-3 fatty acids are found in foods, such as fish and flaxseed, and in dietary supplements, such as fish oil. The three main omega-3 fatty acids are alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).
Omega-3 fatty acids play a critical role in the human body and regulate various functions in the cardiovascular, pulmonary, immune, nervous and endocrine systems. Since EPA and DHA are not made efficiently by the body, it is recommended that these healthy fats be consumed at higher levels in the diet.
Increasing omega-3 fatty acid consumption through foods is preferable for everything from brain support to full-body health. However, a large percentage of the US adult population falls below the recommendations for omega-3 fatty acid consumption. Supplements can help bridge this gap.
