Omega-3 fatty acids and your beauty regime

KAREN CUMMINGS-PALMER – INTEGRATIVE HEALTH AND NUTRITION COACH

Omega-3 fatty acids are top of the list for many health and beauty experts. Omega-3 supplements have been a closely guarded secret of the beauty elite for their anti-inflammatory, anti-ageing and skin regeneration qualities.

Omega-3 supports your skin membranes, helping to repair any damaged cells or tissues, enhancing the strength of your epidermis, so pathogens and allergens find it less easy to penetrate. Its anti-inflammatory properties also work to reduce swelling and, since inflammation can be a major trigger for skin conditions such as acne, eczema and psoriasis, it is believed that Omega-3 can play a role in helping these conditions.

OG ØMEGA-3 PLUS with its high levels of DHA, EPA and DPA Essential Fatty Acids, all protected by the anti-oxidants in the Cold Pressed Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the most effective supplement to deliver your daily source of omega-3s. It also contains your daily requirement for Vitamin D – very prominent lately in the news as it is thought that regular doses of Vitamin D helps the body resist Covid 19.

Unlike plant-based oils, fish oils contain DHA and EPA, which are Essential Fatty Acids which our bodies can’t make for themselves. And the North Atlantic Herring used in OG has a higher omega-3 content than most of the salmon in our supermarkets.

These are some of our top skin-boosting foods
