Fish & Omega 3 defeat skin inflammations

Norway has high mountains, beautiful fjords, pristine waters and an abundance of healthy food. Salmon fishing has made Norway famous and of course a part of the Norwegian diet.

Salmon is a powerhouse of omega-3, which is beneficial for defeating skin inflammation. If the inflammation is not controlled, it can lead to the skin not only becoming red, but also losing moisture. Each three-gram portion of salmon contains 1.7 grams of omega-3. In addition, salmon is a healthy source of vitamin E, a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin against free radicals.

Other fish with a high content of omega-3 include mackerel and herring. Each portion of fish of three grams contains mackerel 1.6 grams and herring 1.4 grams. If you prefer a lighter white fish, you can enjoy halibut, haddock, cod or trout, which still contain omega-3 but in smaller quantities.

When you buy fish, choose fresh and local fish. Find out when it has been caught or shipped from a farm. Make sure it has a good color and smell before you buy it.

Collagen's benefits for skin health are incomparable. Common sources are fish, chicken, beef, eggs and dairy products. In Norway, reindeer meat is also included, a tradition that began with the Sami. The meat is included in many dishes, including hearty stews. The Sami honor the reindeer's life by using all its parts. Reindeer bone and bone marrow are the starting point for making a healthy, collagen-rich reindeer bone broth.

Collagen works best together with vitamin C. It also has its own skin benefits in that it reduces inflammation and protects the skin from harmful UVA and UVB rays in the sunshine. Of course, we like to search the forest for wild strawberries, blueberries, lingonberries, elderberries and blackberries. These berries are full of vitamin C and have an intensive taste. Due to the cold climate, it takes longer for the berries to grow and they then ripen during the summer.

Regardless of how well we eat, we can always need the nutritious boost that nutritional supplements give our bodies. Aarja Health's Omega 3 Krill Oil contains healthy EPA and DHA found in fish and shellfish. The red color comes from the powerful antioxidant astaxanthin, which naturally occurs in krill. For vegans, we have Vegan Omega , a completely plant-based product.

For best absorption, use hydrolysed collagen type II, which is found in Aarja Health's Collagen with pine bark . The natural antioxidants in pine bark are one of the reasons why the Norwegians have brewed tea from pine needles for centuries. And don't forget to add a vitamin C tablet to support collagen production. We love Aarja Health's Vitamin C 500 + Zinc + Chaga + Rosehip , which helps maintain healthy hair and healthy nails too.
