In the ever-evolving landscape of wellness, inflammation has emerged as a buzzword often associated with negative connotations. However, the nuanced understanding of inflammation comes to light with insights from Dr. Reuben Chen, Chief Medical Advisor at Sunrider International, in an online article in the December 2023 issue of Vogue magazine, a highly influential and prestigious monthly fashion and lifestyle magazine. 

The article delves into why fish oil is good for calming inflammation as well as supporting overall health in other ways. As an expert commentor, Dr. Chen explains how fish oil contains omega-3 fatty acids, including “eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA), which are essential nutrients for optimal health.” 

 Dr. Chen elucidates how omega-3 fatty acids “offer numerous additional benefits such as enhanced brain function, reduced joint pain, better eye health, and even improved skin appearance.” He also recommends amping up the DHA and EPA with algal oil supplements. Algal is derived from algae and entirely plant based, making it suitable for vegetarians and vegans. 

Despite the myriad benefits of omega-3 fatty acids, the article highlights a significant challenge: our bodies do not produce omega-3 fatty acids, and studies reveal a notable decrease in their intake over the last 80 years. Dr. Chen explains how this challenge can be addressed through the consumption of omega-3 supplements. 

The article also explores whether it’s possible to get too much fish oil and how much omega-3 you should you take as a supplement if you want to “cover your bases.”
