Omega-3 Your Best Friend
Another way to keep your skin looking amazing is consuming more Omega-3 fatty acids. I'm not taking about swallowing pills either I'm actually saying to digest these foods as whole foods like salmon or tuna for example is very rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Or even sprinkling flux seeds in our yogurt is a great substitute too. Dr. Levine says, "It helps maintain your body's essential oils." These oils help maintain your skin cells staying refreshed and prevent them from drying out. They are also vital for normal metabolism that were the flux seeds come in. According to the Journal of American Medical Associations claims that Omega-3 fatty acids are associated with reduced the risk of breast cancer. Pecans and seaweed are also a good source.

Our Heavenly Apples the Curators
The other day I was at my mother's house and I had just eaten a heavy loaded carb meal with potatoes, pasta and chicken. I felt like my stomach was about to burst plus with desert minutes away from the course meal I could not resist. I sat at the table with a full tummy with no room for my mother's tasty banana creme pie. I cried to my mother telling her I really wanted some of that pie she looked at me and laughed. I thought I was not going to get my slice of pie I was looking forward to it since the drive over here. She went into the kitchen and brought out a tainted drink. "What the heck is that?" I asked in disbelief. She smiled and said,"Drink it you'll feel better." Well, mother knows best so I plugged my nose and chugged the mysterious drink. Within minutes I felt it clean my stomach instantly! Wow! My stomach pains were gone and my heartburn was melting away with acidic drink. I asked her what she gave me. It was organic apple cider vinegar with water. I've never heard of this homemade remedy. So now I pass to you my most favorite drink of all!
