Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Omega-3 fatty acids are known for their anti-inflammatory properties and increasing their intake may help to suppress the inflammation caused by John's severe foot infection. Protein and carbohydrates are important for overall health, but increasing their intake may not have a direct impact on inflammation. Omega-6 fatty acids, on the other hand, can actually contribute to inflammation, so it would not be helpful to increase their intake in this situation.
