Eliminate or reduce scar tissue
The liver is the detoxifying agent of the body. It pulls toxins out of circulation so they can be eliminated through urine and bowel movements. When the liver is overworked, toxins build up and cannot be eliminated except by finding other avenues. One of these avenues is the skin.
Anything that disturbs body chemistry such as abnormal blood sugar fluctuations, hormonal imbalances, exposure to toxic chemicals, and more will show up as acne or other blemishes on the skin, because the liver and other routes of elimination are backed up. To free your face of blemishes, keep you liver clean and functioning smoothly. One good way to do this is with Liver Cleanse .
Dry skin is usually blamed on cold or dry weather, hard water, or rough treatment by soaps and cleansers, but even extreme environmental conditions can be countered by adding healthy fats to the diet. Omega 3 fatty acids, especially those containing high levels of EPA, have been proven to play a critical role in promoting healthy skin by:
- Limiting damage done by overexposure to the sun
- Maintaining elasticity and suppleness of the skin
- Reducing inflammation
- Inhibiting the overproduction of hormones that stimulate production of sebum (oily wax) in the skin and hair follicles
- Reducing high levels of arachidonic acid which have been found in people with inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis and eczema
The Omega 3 fatty acids are ALA (alpha linolenic acid), EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid). ALA is found in dark leafy green vegetables and other plant oils such as flax. The body can convert ALA to EPA and DHA, however, this process is very inefficient and large amounts of ALA would need to be consumed. EPA and DHA are only found in oily fish such as salmon, herring, anchovies, mackerel and tuna.
It is important to choose a fish oil that is high in EPA as DHA has been shown to reduce the effectiveness of EPA. It is also important to choose a brand that has been tested and proven to be free of mercury and other contaminants. Omega 3 Plus (120) contains a potent balanced EPA/DHA blend and has also been nitrogen distilled to guarantee purity.
