Omega-3
Anti-aging benefits:
While "fat" is typically a four-letter word in the dieting world, Omega-3 is a good fat. Healthy fats keep the skin lubricated, help maintain the integrity of the cell membrane, which keeps toxins out of the skin and may even help protect against sun damage, says Bauer.
Where it's found:
Ground flax seeds
Walnuts
Safe, low contaminate fatty fish (such as Wild Salmon, Atlantic Mackerel and sardines)
Edamame
How much you need:
Eat 3-5 ounces of fish three to five times per week. If you don't eat fish, you can get your Omega-3s in the form of a fish oil supplement, says Bauer, but she suggests speaking with your doctor before taking one since it can thin your blood. And choose a supplement that has 1000 mg of EPA and DHA combined.

Total Beauty inspired me to eat healthy. I've been trying to do so for about a month and I love it! I feel much better, especially mentally since I know I'm doing something good for myself. After some time, choosing healthy food becomes natural and I actually find fast foods repulsive! I still can't give up chocolate though. But well, nobody's perfect :)

Getting started in Nutrition can be daunting .. so much, too much, where to start. Maybe beginning with Beauty will open the story of good nutrition, good fuel, making you feel good and look good. This is a nice little primer ... easy, quick, finishing with a tasty smoothy.
