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.
