Does Fish Oil Improve Wrinkles?
by GiGi · Leave a Comment
Fish oil has long been regarded as a nutrient providing a multitude of health benefits. Whether it is obtained from eating so-called “fatty fish” or from supplementing with fish oil capsules, many people associate fish oil with improved health.
A variety of articles and studies published both on the web and in scientific journals claim that the effects of fish oil on the body include (but are not limited to): lowering cholesterol and preventing heart disease, as well as improving the symptoms associated with inflammatory conditions and arthritis.
Some studies do, in fact, refute the medical benefits of fish oil, but the main body of evidence seems to corroborate the ability of this nutrient to support the functioning of the human body. But what exactly is fish oil and, if it can affect the heart and circulatory system, what about fish oil for skin and can it improve wrinkles? Read more

Can Anti Aging Supplements Help Other Problems?
by GiGi · 3 Comments
We all know that many anti aging supplements can help with diseases associated with aging, such as heart problems, Alzheimers, cognitive function, etc. But can they help with other ailments not associated with aging?
Unfortunately, a family member was recently diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. I immediately went on the internet to look up alternative therapies and to my surprise, many of the supplements I already take were on the list of supplements to try for Multiple Sclerosis.
Those not familiar with MS should know that it generally starts in younger people, between the ages of 20-40. Some of the recommended supplements (this varies of course, depending on the individual) include:
- Fish Oil
- Coenzyme Q10
- Curcumin/Turmeric
- Magnesium
- Selenium
- Calcium
- Zinc
- Vitamins C, E, B12 and D3
And of course, the same things I always preach - a healthy diet high in antioxidants, lots of exercise, plenty of sleep.
The one thing I forgot about in all my research on anti aging was that a lot of the studies done on supplements were for helping with other diseases, not anti aging. The anti aging properties of some of these supplements were a by-product or discovery of the study itself.
It’s good to know that many of the supplements associated with anti aging are generally good for you whether help with aging is your goal or not.
