Omega 3

Fight age!

Look younger


This isn't a quirky little story or anything crazy that has happened, but I really wanted to share this with all of you. I was diagnosed with several things and one was low cholesterol levels, which I never knew was a problem, but apparently it is. Anyway, the doc put me on Lovaza, which is basically niacin and omega 3. I also had to take anti-oxidants. One of the side effects of Lovaza is an intense burning feeling and reddening of the skin; this is from the niacin, not fun, but what are you going to do, right? However, another effect, from the omega 3, is more youthful-looking skin. I didn't realize this when I began taking it, but after a couple of weeks, I noticed that the fine lines around my mouth had nearly disappeared. My husband said, "Wow, you don't have crows feet around your eyes anymore." Well heck, I didn't know I even had them, but thanks knuckle head for informing me of that. My point is, if you up your omega 3 and anti-oxidants, your skin is going to love you. You do need to keep an eye out for zits, though. I actually got a zit last week and one the week before. I had never even gotten them when I was a teen, so I resembled a teeny bopper in no time at all. I actually had a man just yesterday think I was under 25 years old. I am 39 years old people, so imagine my boost in self-esteem and it beats a face lift or Botox. Am I right or am I right?
