You really need to good fats to balance out the saturated fats you eat as well if you eat meat and cheese and the like. And it does make a difference to your skin and hair.
I notice it REALLY helps my son to have plenty of Omega fats in his diet, his asthma is way more controlled when the inflammation in his body is kept under control. He takes spoonfulls of flax seed oil a day and I often do too. |
You know, I really hadn't thought about it much until I noticed my skin starting to get really dry. And my hair. I started thinking about it and realized what the problem likely is, oil/fat.
I hardly have any fat in my diet at all. I don't eat meat but I do eat tuna. The only cheese is what I recently started buying and that is parmesan cheese crackers. That's it for fat in my diet. I don't like most dairy products, I don't eat dead animals much unless it is tuna, thus... the dipping oil.
I'm going to buy some stuff from the link above. It sure sounds more workable than if I tried to make the stuff. I'm just dangerous in a kitchen.
Sheesh.... you'd think the fat on my body would suffice! ;)
