When a person is young, it&#8217;s easy to have clear, translucent skin. Keeping skin that way and aging gracefully is a lifelong commitment, and a way of life.<\/p>\n<p>What benefits skin the most is eliminating sugar and white flour from your diet, increasing consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean protein, and drinking plenty of water. Water is absolutely vital for every process in the body, including your skin.<\/p>\n<p>Essential Fatty Acids are nutritional cornerstones of human health. Two major families of fats are comprised of omega-3&#8217;s (cold water fish) and omega-6&#8217;s (seeds, nuts and their oils).<\/p>\n<p>They are deemed &#8216;essential&#8217; because we need them for proper health, much like certain vitamins and minerals, but cannot produce them on our own.  We must therefore consume these fats through diet or supplementation. Most associate omega 3\u2019s with cardiovascular health, but their benefits go far beyond the heart. Omega 3&#8217;s also benefits a healthy brain and cognitive function, joint mobility, eye health, pregnancy and lactation, healthy skin and hair, and a normally functioning immune response.<\/p>\n<p>While I could go on about the benefits for the whole body, I&#8217;ll talk about Omega 3&#8217;s for the skin. Skin is the largest organ in the human body, and is often the first visual indicator of an essential fatty acid deficiency.<\/p>\n<p>The essential fatty acids in fish oil are crucial nutrients for skin health and function.  These essential fatty acids (EFAs) reside in the membranes that surround skin cells, where they regulate a large number of cellular processes that directly impact skin health.<\/p>\n<p>The research-backed benefits of fish oil include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bullets\">\n<li>Nourishes skin, hair, and nails<\/li>\n<li>Protects against age-related damage<\/li>\n<li>Hydrates skin by retaining natural moisture<\/li>\n<li>Protects against free radicals<\/li>\n<li>Stimulates production of healthy skin cells<\/li>\n<li>Supports a clear and healthy complexion<\/li>\n<li>Is natural and safe for long-term use<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Good food sources of Omega-3&#8217;s include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bullets\">\n<li>Wild cold water fish<\/li>\n<li>Seaweed<\/li>\n<li>Algae<\/li>\n<li>Omega-3 eggs<\/li>\n<li>Walnuts<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>My favorite brand is Nordic Naturals.
