Omega 3 Fatty Acids And Wrinkles

Clinical studies have found that eating a diet rich omega-3 fatty acids can help to keep your skin healthy and youthful. Omega 3's help with the passage of nutrients into cells and are anti-inflammatory. Inflammation triggers cells to clog pores, and that can cause skin irritation and acne. Omega-3s also offer protection against skin lesions caused by ultraviolet rays.

Omega-3 fatty acids helps to normalize skin lipids and prevents cells from dehydration. This keeps skin cells strong, decreases the appearance of fine lines and helps to avoid skin problems such as eczema and thick patches of skin.

The best way to keep your skin looking healthy and vibrant is to make sure that your diet contains sufficient amounts of omega 3 fatty acids. The best sources for omega 3's are fatty fish, such as salmon, mackerel, sardines and herring, walnuts and flaxseed oil. I recommend eating fish 2-3 times a week. If you don't like fish, you can supplement your diet with omega 3 fish oil capsules.

Don't fall for the "no-fat or low-fat" trap. Your diet must contain sufficient amounts of essential fatty acids (ALA, EPA and DHA). If you deprive your body of these fatty acids, severe health problems such as depression, increased cardiovascular risks, arthritis, joint pain and others can be caused.

Another fact that might interest you is that increasing your intake of "good" fats (especially omega 3 fish oils) can help you to loose weight. These fatty acids are known to increase the fat metabolism and help to burn body fat more efficiently.
