SKIN CARE TIP – FISH

Fish is not only a good source of protein but also OMEGA-3 FATTY ACIDS. Fish oil is widely known to be good for the heart but did you know that it’s also good for your skin?

Omega-3 Fatty Acids are anti-inflammatory agents which help heal skin redness. It also reduces the risk of acne and other skin problems by decreasing insulin-like growth and preventing too much keratinization of the sebaceous areas of the skin follicles.

Eating fish, which is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, leads to a smoother, younger-looking skin. This substance is abundant in fish that live in cold water and have high fat content, like sardines, salmon, mackerel and tuna. Besides omega-3 fatty acids, fish meat is also high in vitamin D and selenium so it’s overall great for your skin’s health.
