How To Use Fish Oil To Help You Stop Acne
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.
