When we see a woman whose skin appears ageless, we want to know her secret. Almost every woman wants to keep a youthful glow and healthy skin as she ages. One way to do that is through omega 3 supplements, particularly flax seed oil supplements.

Pumping up the levels of essential fatty acids in your system supplies a multitude of health benefits including helping the health of your skin. The essential fatty acids in flax seed oil hydrate skin from the inside out. In addition, essential fatty acids have wonderful anti-inflammatory properties, which means they help those with sensitive skin and those that suffer from more serious skin conditions like acne, psoriasis, eczema, or rosacea. In addition to these skin conditions, anyone interested in anti-aging will benefit from this amazing nutrient.

In fact, I remember when my mother started taking flax seed oil to help lower her cholesterol levels:

“Studies show that flax seed and cholesterol, link together in that flax seed helps lower total and LDL cholesterol levels; other studies also show that omega 3 fatty acid may also help lower blood triglyceride and blood pressure. It may also keep platelets from becoming sticky therefore reducing the chance of a heart attack.” (From Drug Store Blog)

Within a month of taking the supplements, she commented that her skin in general felt more supple and soft. A couple of people she worked with even commented on her skin improvements as well:

“Essential fats make up the membranes of our skin cells and a lack of these essential fatty acids is another cause of dry skin. We need to keep our skin well oiled from the inside by eating foods that contain these essential fatty acids, such as fish, nuts and seeds, especially flax seeds.” (From Skin & Beauty News)

Flax seed oil supplements are so important for overall health and particularly beneficial for healthy cholesterol levels and heart health. An added bonus is its ability to help clear skin and keep you moisturized. Flax seed oil supplements are available from your local health store or click here to purchase from Physician’s Preference.
