The Omega-6 vs. Omega-3 Imbalance
The standard American adolescent diet is heavily loaded with Omega-6 fatty acids (found in fried foods, ultra-processed snacks, and seed oils), which are pro-inflammatory.
The standard American adolescent diet is heavily loaded with Omega-6 fatty acids (found in fried foods, ultra-processed snacks, and seed oils), which are pro-inflammatory.
To quiet the systemic inflammation affecting the tendons, jumpers must shift their dietary ratio by drastically increasing their intake of Omega-3 fatty acids.
The Omega-3 Dietary Intervention
Omega-3 fat acts as a powerful natural anti-inflammatory agent in the bloodstream, soothing the cellular environment around the over-taxed Achilles and patellar tendons.
Intervention Protocol
The Sourcing Requirement
The Dosing Target
**Whole Food Implementation**
Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel) or plant-based (chia seeds, flaxseeds, walnuts).
2-3 servings weekly to maintain baseline tendon elasticity and mitigate progressive soreness.
**Clinical Supplementation**
High-quality, tested fish oil or algae oil (for vegans).
1,000 to 2,000 mg of combined EPA and DHA daily to aggressively reverse active tendinopathy.
