Fish oil and healthy skin

Fish oil containing the Omega 3 essential fatty acid EPA helps to prevent wrinkles and can delay the aging process of the skin according to recent research published in the Journal of Lipid Research in 2005. Scientists have also found that fish oil containing EPA can limit the damage to the skin produced by overexposure to the sun and help to reduce the negative effect of UV rays. This has particular relevance when we consider the recent and dramatic rise in cases of skin cancers caused predominantly by exposure to the suns harmful rays.

Essential Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids are known to play a critical role in promoting healthy skin. They help to regulate cellular function and maintain elasticity and suppleness in the skin. Consequently, a fatty acid deficiency will show up as skin problems. Most of us do not get enough of the Omega 3 fatty acids in our diet whereas Omega 6 fatty acids are in plentiful supply. Symptoms of Omega 3 fatty acid deficiency include skin problems like eczema, dandruff, dry and flaking skin and poor wound healing.

Three reasons why EPA is so beneficial to the skin?

• EPA is known to reduce inflammation by helping the body to produce anti-inflammatory prostaglandins. These are hormone-like substances that are responsible for regulating all the cells in our body.
• EPA helps to inhibit the production of androgens, which are hormones that influence the production of sebum in the hair follicle. Excess sebum production can lead to acne and other skin problems.
• EPA helps to limit production of Arachidonic acid, which is responsible for pro-inflammatory responses in the body, high levels of which are found in people with inflammatory skin conditions such as psoriasis.

The Omega 3 fatty acids are ALA, EPA and DHA. Alpha linolenic acid (ALA) is found in dark green leafy vegetables and algae. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) can be found in oily fish such as salmon, herring, anchovies, mackerel and Tuna. Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) can also be found in oily fish. We can convert ALA to EPA and DHA but the conversion is very inefficient and dependent on a number of factors. However, we can convert EPA into DHA if we get enough EPA.

Supplementing with fish oil that contains EPA can alleviate the symptoms of skin disorders such as dry and flaky skin, psoriasis, eczema and acne as well as many other inflammatory skin conditions. However, it is important to choose a fish oil that is high in EPA as DHA has been shown to reduce the effectiveness of EPA.

Fish oil supplements can contain mercury. To be safe take only a pharmaceutical grade fish oil supplement.

Modern Chic with Short Funky Hairstyles

2010 new trendy short funky hairstyles

Fashion today is all about sharing the real you. No matter what kind of personality you have, there is a hairstyle out there that is tailor-made for you. If you consider yourself to be daring or a trend-setter, there is a short funky hairstyle with your name on it.

Short Funky Hairstyles 2010

In the world of short funky hairstyles, anything goes. The color, shape, and layers are all up to your individual tastes. Your first step to achieve your short funky hairstyle happens with a visit to the salon. One of the most popular styles today is a variation on a pixie cut. Just think of Mary Martin in Peter Pan, but with an urban twist. Ask your stylist to cut your hair to approximately two or three inches. The length should be uniform; we aren’t trying to bring back the mullet. As she cuts, ask her to feather the ends. This will eventually give you more options.

Short Funky Hair styles

While at the salon, you make chose to enhance your short funky hairstyle with some bold highlights. Pale blonde highlights on chestnut hair look great, as do reddish-purple tints. Go as crazy as your imagination and your pocketbook will allow.

When you get home from the salon, it is time to have fun. One of the great advantages to maintaining a short hairstyle is that you don’t have to worry as much about damage because you are constantly trimming your hair. So backbrush, crimp, and curl to your heart’s content. On great way to take yoursalon look and make it even funkier is to liberally apply water wax to your hair. Start by running your fingers through your hair to make it all stand up. Then start pinching together areas of about one or two inches. Now take these areas and crisscross them. Let some continue to start up while others fall back to your scalp. You’re not going to windblown, but rather unpredictable.

If you’re looking for one-of-a-kind short funky haircut, consider doing a feminine variation on a standard masculine style such as the jerry curl or the Mohawk. Enough water wax should allow you to shape your hair into any short funky hairstyle you can imagine.a
