How To Use Fish Oil To Help You Stop Acne |
by:
Rudy Silva |
If you want to control acne
breakouts, you need to supplement your diet with fish oils which
contain omega-3 and omega-6 oils. These fish oil also contains
EPA and DHA fatty acids which are necessary for creating prostaglandins.
Normally, enzymes in your body break down omega-6 into DGLA, AA,
EPA and DHA fatty acids.
Dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid (DGLA)
Arachidonic Acid (AA)
Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA)
Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA)
These four fatty acids eventually change into prostaglandins.
What are prostaglandins?
Prostaglandins are chemical hormones that come from omega-3 and
omega-6 oils and that help,
regulate every function in your cells and organs.
Postaglandins also keep androgen hormones in control so that excess
sebum is not produce in the hair follicle, which results in acne.
This is the reason why Essential Fatty Acids – Omega-3 and Omega-6
– are critical foods to eat.
However, eating plenty essential fatty acids may not insure that
you produce enough EPA and DHA, which produce the essential prostaglandins.
It is critical for acne and more importantly for your health that
you get enough EPA and DHA in your cells and organs so they can
produce the required prostaglandins.
To increase the prostaglandins in your cell walls, it is necessary
for you to take a fish supplement, which contains both the EPA
and DHA.
Of course eating salmon, halibut, and mackerel twice a week will
be a plus in providing your body with more EPA and DHA.
Here’s what I use daily. Spectrum Essentials puts out an excellent
product called
Omega-3 Norwegian Fish Oil
Two capsules contains
EPA – 360mg
DHA – 240mg
Omega-3 – 892mg
Stearic, Lauric, Palmitic Acids - 508mg
Using the Omega-3 Norwegian Fish Oil is critical in getting relief
from acne, so take two capsules per meal.
When your body creates prostaglandins, it creates a good prostaglandin
and a bad prostaglandin. Here’s how to encourage the production
of good prostaglandins.
·Maintain a ratio of two times more omega-6 than omega-3 in your
diet.
·Eating too much omega-6 can lead to producing excess bad prostaglandins.
·Take a multi-vitamin and minerals with your meals to provide
these nutrients for breaking down the
essential fatty acids into prostaglandins
·Reduce the amount of meat, saturated fat, dairy, and eggs you
eat to reduce the production of AA, which blocks the activities
of the good prostaglandins
·Eat cold water fish at least twice a week to provide EPA and
DHA to your diet
Include at least 20% of your diet calories as good fats – omega
oils and fish oil. This is essential for controlling the excess
activity of your hormones and reducing the inflammation of your
acne.
