Omega 3 Fish Oil and Your Skin

It’s no secret by now that foods that are rich in omega 3 fatty acids, which are found most richly in these commonly eaten foods, almonds, fish, avocados and flax seeds, and of course more, but these are the most well known especially giving credit to the glut of good press these foods have gotten, help us in numerous ways when it comes to our general health.

Not only are omega 3’s protective for the heart because of their ability to help reduce harmful cholesterols and other fats from clogging the blood stream and reaching the veins and other parts of the circulatory system and causing havoc, but they also are known to help promote concentration, brain function – and yes, to help maintain a youthful, supple appearance in the skin.

Why? Well, because fish oils are protective of skin cells as well. Let me clarify, omega 3’s are helpful in protecting the skin, they don’t just have to consumed via fish products, but there are also various nuts, seeds, grains and veggies and even fruits that can help supply your diet with these much needed healthy fats.

I think you’ll find that consuming these fats in abundance will help your skin stay fresh looking, and amazingly moisturized and glowing if you make sure you also get lots of other good stuff in your diet. It’s not something you can take and then eat anything you want, but when you take this supplement with a balanced diet, I think you’ll find that it helps your overall health in many ways.

Not only do I feel that taking one fish oil a day helps my skin look better, but I also feel that it helps me to focus and have a better grip on my mental functions – as they say, fish is brain food, and it very well may be because of the omega 3’s, which help stabilize the blood sugar, and therefore help you not get that airheaded hungry feeling that so many of us do when our blood sugar dips – and guess what, an even keel blood sugar is also great for the skin. I think you can see what I’m getting at here – omega 3’s are a smart addition to your diet :)
