NUTRIENTS OUR SKIN IS LACKING.

I can almost guarantee your skin is lacking these nutrients RIGHT NOW! Our modern western diet consists a lot of wheat and grains. We eat things like cereal, bread, bagels, cakes or pasta on a daily.

What effect does a high grain diet have on our skin?

Too much Omega-6 ! Which is an essential fatty acid that causes inflammation. Inflammation is IMPORTANT in our bodies believe it or not, it's not the enemy. When we cut ourselves inflammation around that wound happens almost instantly to alert our bodies of the problem and to start fixing that problem. Inflammation is like our bodies emergency services that send off a siren and race to fix something.

The problem is in our western diet we have too many sirens going off in our bodies. Most of us have too much inflammation and not enough anti-inflammatory responses going off to put out the flames.

This is why OMEGA-3 is so important. Omega-3 is our anti-inflammatory essential fatty acid, when it comes to skin omega-3 is vital for everyone, hence the name "essential" fatty acid because it quiet literally is essential. Interestingly we do not produce Omega-3 ourselves but rely solely on receiving it from our diet, so if our diet does not consist of much or any omega-3, quickly our anti-inflammatory response can not keep up with our bodies needs.

And since our western diet is so high in inflammatory Omega-6 our entire body is in an inflamed state. Skin issues, joint problems and fluid retention can all be caused from inflammation.

When it comes to skin omega-3 is vital for everyone, from an Acne prone skin type to a Sensitive or Dry skin type. Break outs on the skin instantly create an inflammation response in the body, this is why a pimple will appear red and feel tender to touch, often the skin will be warm as well. All of these are a result of inflammation. Omega-3 plays a huge part in controlling this situation, calming down the angry, inflamed area and balancing out the skins sebum.

The same is true for a Sensitive skin type, Omega-3 soothes down the skin irritation and builds it's resilience so it wont be as reactive. Dryness can be the cause of many other issues, it can first become dry meaning it is lacking oil, which then results in it developing irritation because it has become so weak and impaired. Treating Dryness will quickly prevent any further problems from developing, omega-3 can regulate a healthy oil production and prevent moisture loss in the skin.

So what foods can we find that are high in Omega-3 ?

Mackerel
Oysters
Flaxseeds
Chia Seeds
Cod Liver Oil
Walnuts
Hempseed Oil
