The recommendation to add fish to the diet to increase omega-3 intake to 1.6 g per day aligns with general nutritional advice for improving the balance of omega-3 to omega-6 fatty acids for better immune health. Omega-3 fatty acids, found in fish, are known to have anti-inflammatory properties and are important for heart and brain health. The current intake of omega-3 fatty acids is low compared to omega-6, and increasing it to 1.6 g per day can help improve this balance without excessively increasing total fat intake.
