Skin cells, like other cells throughout the body, have cell membranes composed of lipid bilayers that facilitate cellular communication, leading to an inflow of nutrients and an outflow of toxins. This exchange is necessary for promoting the health of these and all cells. On the skin, the manifestations of dysfunctional or unhealthy cells become obvious since the skin is an area that is exposed to the outside world. Keeping these cells happy, supple, and vibrant means reaping the benefits of healthy skin. Of course, this is everybody’s goal. But whether your skin can function properly while remaining healthy looking and attractive is largely determined by what you eat. Like every other part of your body, your skin will reward you for treating it well. And, like every other part of the body that has been examined, your skin loves, needs, and wants the healthy omega-3 fats that are provided by fish oils.
