Eating smart to help control acne

Are Diet and Acne Related?
Some People with Acne say . . . Yep!

We have conflicting information on this subject of diet and acne. At this point we don't know for certain, and more research is needed. Some doctors and dermatologists will tell you that food has little to do with acne, but some people with acne believe that the foods they eat help to control their condition.

Acne is aggravated by stress, and it could be that when we are stressed, instead of eating healthy food, we sometimes tend to eat comfort food. The right diet may be positively related to acne. Eating a low glycemic diet rich in vegetables, fruits, and seafoods can help stabilize insulin levels which may have an impact.

Insulin is our main hormone and affects all of our other hormones, including androgens. Scientists believe that hormonal fluctuations can result in acne flare ups.

Omega 3 fats has been shown to be a powerful anti-inflammatory agent, and since a big part of acne is inflammation, it makes theoretical sense that eating an anti-inflammatory diet will help. Omega-3 can also be taken orally.

You owe it to yourself to use only the purest, and thus the safest omega-3 fish oil available, plus it also has to be the most effective in order for you to receive the benefits above. If you and your family want the best product possible there are certain 'rules' that you need to follow. They are:

Most scientists and health professionals agree that omega-3 fish oil contains an array of health benefits pertaining to areas of the body such as your:

What is it about fish oil that gives rise to these health benefits?
Diet and Acne

The body cannot readily produce these omega-3 EFAs on its own. They need to be introduced to the body through food and dietary supplements known to contain high levels of omega-3.

Xtend-Life Natural Products, a family-owned, integrated manufacturer and distributor of natural supplements and skin care products has been constantly raising the bar on standards pertaining to purity, freshness and the anti-inflammatory properties of omega-3 fish oils. For nearly 10 years, Xtend-Life has cemented itself as the preferred brand in the natural supplement industry.

The following sections highlight the main reasons that I feel you should choose Xtend- Life's Omega 3 / DHA Fish Oil as your preferred fish oil supplement. They give you all the transparency and facts that you need in order to establish your trust in not only their fish oil, but also their policy that each one of their products should be as natural as nature itself.

WHAT MAKES XTEND-LIFE'S OMEGA 3 / DHA FISH OIL SO UNIQUE?
Acne Diet

There are two important reasons why it cannot be copied or duplicated by others:

1. Xtend-Life has an agreement with New Zealand's largest fishing company to acquire all the oil extracted from freshly caught hoki. Other hoki oil from other sources has been frozen and is handled differently with different levels of purity and freshness.

2. The tuna oil they use goes through a proprietary purification process prior to molecular distillation and concentration. This process removes impurities such as PCBs and dioxins to a level not possible by molecular distillation alone.

The Guidelines

• Anti-inflammatory properties: Does your current fish oil have the best
• possible anti-inflammatory properties?
• Bio-availability: It must be in its natural form NOT a synthetic triglyceride
• which many fish oils are.
• High content of quality omega-3 and DHA: Be reasonably high in omega-3
• with the dominant essential fatty acid being DHA.
• Purity: The fish oil must be strictly tested for any contaminants with
• supporting evidence that proves the results.
• Freshness: This means low oxidation levels; once again with cold, hard
• evidence to back-up such claims.

Xtend-Life's Omega 3 / DHA Fish Oil complies with all of the above guidelines.

Put us to the smell test
We are so confident that our fish oil is the freshest in the world, we encourage you to cut open a soft gel of Omega 3 / DHA Fish Oil and smell it. You should only smell a faint oceanic aroma - if anything at all. We don't add masking flavours or fragrances unlike other fish oil companies.

While looking at a house, my brother asked the estate agent which direction was north because, he explained, he didn't want the sun waking him up every morning. She asked, 'Does the sun rise in the north?'
When my brother explained that the sun rises in the east, and has for some time, she shook her head and said, 'Oh, I don't keep up with that stuff'
