Did you know that your skin is the largest organ \u00a0in your body? It\u2019s true: your skin is much more than an outer surface for the world to see.<\/p>\n
It protects you from bacteria, dirt, and the UV rays \u00a0of the sun. It also contains nerve endings that let you know if something is hot or cold, soft or hard, sharp \u00a0or dull. Your skin also plays an important role in \u00a0regulating your body\u2019s fluids and temperatures.<\/p>\n

Healthy skin mirrors a healthy body. Most of us will spend an exorbitant amount of money on creams, lotions, and potions formulated to give us smoother, younger-looking skin. But if your body is ill or malnourished, lacking in antioxidants, suffering from an imbalance in the gastrointestinal tract, or insufficiently supplied with healthy fats from food intake, there isn\u2019t a product out there that will help give your skin the look and feel you desire. Eating a nutritious diet rich in plants, high-quality proteins, healthy fats and, of course, drinking lots of water (with a squeeze of lemon) is so important.<\/p>\n

The omega-3 fats found in cold-water fatty fish such as sardines, anchovies, mackerel, tuna, and salmon, as well as nuts and seeds like walnuts, almonds, hemp, chia, flaxseed, olives, and coconut oil, are especially helpful for moisturizing skin, preventing aging, decreasing wrinkles, treating acne, and protecting the skin from sunburn. These delicious fats help strengthen the skin and keep it looking plump and healthy. Omega-3s also keep the skin well hydrated, because they strengthen the cell membranes that wall off water loss through the skin. The result? Softer, wrinkle-free skin! Added to a diet rich in antioxidants, omega-3s act as a natural moisturizer from the inside out. Omega-3 fatty acids also build healthier skin by reducing the body\u2019s production of inflammatory compounds \u2013 the natural chemicals involved in the aging process. Keeping these chemicals at bay is what\u2019s required to limit the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven skin tone, and sun damage.<\/p>\n
Your hair benefits from omega-3s, too! They help nourish the hair follicles for healthier, stronger, and shinier tresses while also diminishing dry, flaky scalp.<\/p>\n
Given all their benefits, there\u2019s absolutely no reason not to make omega-3s your go-to beauty nutrient!<\/p>\n

Astaxanthin: The Best Antioxidant You\u2019ve Never Heard Of?<\/strong><\/p>\n If astaxanthin is a new micronutrient to you, it\u2019s high time you got to know it! It\u2019s a naturally occurring carotenoid found in microalgae, and it\u2019s one of the most studied and powerful antioxidants available today. It\u2019s 65 times more powerful than vitamin C!<\/p>\n One way to remember it: it\u2019s the antioxidant you can SEE with its beautiful bright red colour, which is proof positive of its ability to protect cells from oxidation and inflammation. When salmon and shell fish such as crab, lobster, shrimp, and krill eat an algae-rich diet, it turns their bodies bright red with astaxanthin content.<\/p>\n Astaxanthin is a protective nutrient. It helps repair damage to joints, muscles, heart, inflammation, cells, and\u2026 skin! Product research aimed at finding new anti-aging formulations, UVA protection, and sunscreen development, all point promisingly to astaxanthin-rich ingredients.<\/p>\n The best way to get more astaxanthin in your diet \u2013 along with eating more salmon and shellfish \u2013 is to supplement with 4 mg per day.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text -Skin Superfoods” _builder_version=”3.0.71″ background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n As the saying goes, you are what you eat.
