Get brainy with omega-3

A lot of women hear the word 'fat' and actively avoid (or at least, think about avoiding) whatever substance is offered to them.
Many might be surprised to know that there is a type of fat is actually beneficial for their health, and could even help improve their memory.
Omega-3 fatty acids are a type of polyunsaturated fat most commonly found in marine plants and oils and have long been hailed as health and beauty necessities.
Where can we get them?
First and foremost, you need to know where these little beauties are found.
Omega-3 fats are not naturally produced by the body so must either be ingested through food or supplements.
Oily fish such as tuna, salmon, and sardines are rich in omega-3 fats, as are vegetable sources such as walnuts and pumpkin seeds.
They can also be found in supplements and some beauty oils.
Memory benefits
A University of Pittsburgh research team recently published results regarding omega-3's ability to improve memory.
The team tested young, healthy individuals to see if six months of omega-3 supplementation did anything for their memory.
At the end of the experiment, they all showed signs of memory enhancement.
"We found that members of this population can enhance their working memory performance even further, despite them already being at the top of their cognitive game," commented the lead researcher, neuro-scientist Bita Moghaddam.
Other health benefits
Omega-3 doesn't just do wonders for our memory; extensive research indicates that omega-3 fats are handy for a whole host of other health-related things.
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center (UMM), omega-3’s may also improve: artery health, cholesterol, joint health, bone health, lung health and menstrual health.
Many men and women also like to use omega-3 for their skin.
Owing to its anti-inflammatory properties, omega-3 can help alleviate skin disorders such as dry skin, acne and psoriasis.
As if that wasn't enough, some scientists have even linked omega-3 to cancer prevention - claiming that colon, breast, and prostate cancers have all been correlated with low intakes of omega-3.

- The Great Pomegranate Seed Oil Jan 15, 2021Hi Kianouche, Thank you for your message. I would recommend to mix pomegranate oil with Marula oil for what you are looking to treat. A few drops of antioxidant-rich Marula oil mixed with Pomegranate oil can boost efficacy and help restore your skin’s functions in perfect equilibrium. Long term use may visibly minimise pores, brighten the skin, protect it from the oxidative damage caused by pollution, tones down pigmentation and assists with scar tissue healing. Hope this helps :)
- The Great Pomegranate Seed Oil Jan 15, 2021Hi I’ve bought some of your pomegranate oil, together with rosehip and marula oils. Which of the other two oils would be better to mix with pomegranate oil for mature skin with hyperpigmentation due to sun damage and sometimes prone to spots and milia when using rich moisturisers. Also, can I use pomegranate oil by itself or combined with either of the other two oils around my eyes

- The amazing Ashwagandha benefits for womenJan 14, 2021Hi Dolores, thank you for your message!Ashwagandha is an adaptogen so will adapt to your own bodies rhythm. It is a powerful way to regulate energy levels through the day so in some people may boost circulation and cell activity, which is why you may find yourself with insomnia. Everyone is unique and different, so will react to herbs and remedies differently. As you are using bio-identical hormones, I would advise you check with your GP, as there are often interferences with herbs. Perhaps you should try taking your Ashwagandha in the morning to regulate your bodies rhythm through the day.
