Skin Disorders - Can Fish Oil Omega3 Improve Skin Health?
by: Larry L. Taylor

Skin disorders such as acne, dermatitis, eczema and psoriasis may benefit from a regular fish oil supplement. Omega-3 fatty acids are important to skin health in several ways. They may even reduce your risk of wrinkles and sagging. Here's a look at why fish oil is being recommended for skin disorders of all kinds.

Cause of Skin Disorders - Problems

When it comes to poor skin health, nutrient deficits are often responsible. In cases of essential fatty acid deficiency, dermatitis is always present. Dermatitis is a blanket term that means inflammation of the skin. It can be caused by perfume or other types of allergies. It accompanies eczema, psoriasis and seborrhea. Too much heat, cold, environmental toxins and insect bites can also cause it.

Benefits of Fish Oil

Increased intake of omega-3 fatty acids is beneficial for all kinds of these skin disorders, because it has natural inflammation fighting activity. They are also beneficial for skin health, because they are a primary component of sebum.

Sebum is the skin's natural lubricant or moisturizer, if you prefer. It forms a protective barrier that prevents damage from pathogens and the elements. So a fish oil supplement is often recommended for people with dry, itchy skin.

Researchers looked at the benefit of omega-3 fatty acids for reducing sagging. They found that after three months of supplementation, there was a 10% improvement in firmness. So, not only is fish oil good for skin health, it is good for the appearance, as well. Firmer skin looks less wrinkled.

Why Take Fish Oil?

Many doctors recommend omega-3 fatty acids for their patients with acne for several reasons; first, because of its anti-inflammatory activity. A pimple is actually an inflammation of the hair follicle. Hair follicles are present all over the body, even though the hairs that come from them may be tiny and fair in color.

Second, skin disorders such as acne are often accompanied by depression and poor mental health. Omega-3 fatty acids have proven benefits for relieving depression. Chromium, zinc and selenium are also recommended for skin health, as is beta-carotene and biotin.

The hair, nails and skin are closely related, because of the similar components. Often, an underlying nutritional deficiency is the cause of dryness of the hair and skin, as well as brittle nails. Flaking scalp or dandruff is actually a skin problem.

Itching, rashes and hives are often caused by low production of sebum. Changes in the skin's color are sometimes related to low levels of vitamin E, which also causes the hair to be dry and brittle. Thus, the nutrients that are important to the skin's health are also beneficial to the appearance of the hair and the strength of the finger nails.

Fish oil is known to significantly improve the health of the hair and the nails. The hair becomes more shiny and lustrous. Itchy dry skin resolves and finger nails grow faster.

Whether you have skin disorders or want to avoid them, supplementation is recommended. It's good for your health today and tomorrow. For more information on how fish oil can improve your appearance and overall health, please see my website listed below. Larry L. Taylor

Rainbow River Lodge Offers Salmon Fly Fishing Lodges & Trips In Alaska

Rainbow River Lodge Offers Salmon Fly Fishing Lodges & Trips In Alaska
by: Kevin Jurgens

The riffle of water erupts in front of you as Sockeye Salmon negotiate their way through another obstacle, possessed to meet their goal of returning to their original birth location and continue the cycle. An eagle soars overhead, disappearing then reappearing through moss covered tree tops the white head contrasting against the grey swollen clouds. To your left, a fresh print from a grizzly bear pushed into the wet sands of the river bank. Probably a meandering yearling looking into the river for a meal last night.

As you are absorbed into observing your surroundings, you suddenly see a push of water not from a sockeye but of large rainbow trout sipping flies off the surface, trying not to be noticed. The river in front of you is gin clear and you can see every move this fish makes under water. His long slimline body is golden and green underwater and much different from the sockeye that are already showing darker with a few reds mixed in.

This is Alaska and this situation is what some only get to Dream about. And while Alaska is wild and untamed, Rainbow River Lodge is as accessible and comfortable as your home. As it's "home water", the Copper River, known for it's large rainbow trout and pure scenic beauty, is accessible in any weather condition through use of jet boats from the lodge. This is about the best "back up" piece of water anyone could ask for when the weather is too rough to fly out to the numerous other rivers in the area. In fact, the Copper River is the first choice of many returning anglers. However, there are many possible areas to fish around the area, each with their own specific style and species of fish...all within a short float plane ride from the lodge.

If you are looking to get away from it all, yet enjoy the comforts of a luxury alaska fishing lodge, look no further than rainbow river lodge. Rainbow River Lodge has been rated as one of the "ten best fly fishing lodges in Alaska" and the Copper River, our "Home River" has been rated by Trout Unlimited as one of the "top 100 best Trout streams in the world". Truly outstanding accolades from the finest fly fishing authorities in the world today.

Jimmy Carter, former U.S. president and a visitor of the lodge has been quoted as saying, "As you know, I have fished in a lot of places in the world from Canada to New Zealand but I've never seen anything to equal the Rainbow trout of the Copper River. Everything about our stay at Rainbow River Lodge was memorable, but the hospitality we received from you and the staff served to tie together all the weeks adventures.

Men's Health - Can Fish Oil Omega3 Benefit Men's Health?

Men's Health - Can Fish Oil Omega3 Benefit Men's Health?
by: Larry L. Taylor


Fish oil may be particularly beneficial to men's health, because of the omega-3 fatty acids they contain. Low intake of fish and low circulating levels of DHA, an omega3 fat, are associated with prostate cancer, BPH or enlarged prostate, prostatitis and with fertility issues, such as low sperm count and motility.

DHA Importance

DHA and other omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory activity and counter the effects of other types of dietary fat, such as omega 6 and saturated fats. If you haven't heard already, you should not be eating anything that contains trans-fat. Food manufacturers are now required to list the trans-fat content, because it contributes to a variety of health problems and is not necessary to the human body.

Prostatis is an inflammation of the prostate gland. It usually begins gradually and lingers on for several weeks. Bacterial or other type of infection may or may not be present. Symptoms include pain and, if bacterial infection is present, fever. Protecting the prostate is an important part of men's health. Fish oil, because of its anti-inflammatory activity, reduces the risk of prostatitis.

At birth, the prostate gland is tiny. It grows rapidly during puberty and a second growth spurt typically occurs after the age of 40. Nine out of ten men suffer from enlarged prostate or BPH by the time they reach the age of 85. A fish oil supplement may reduce the risk of BPH, which is benign. Studies have shown that blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids are lower in people with BPH and even lower in those with prostate cancer.

Sperm Count Increase

An important aspect of young men's health, when they want to have children, is low sperm count or low sperm motility. Although the reasons for this are unclear, it has been shown that a fish oil supplement increases both the count and the motility of the sperm. Many scientists hope that supplementation will reduce the need for in-vitro fertilization, because infants born through IVF have greater health risks.

Heart Health Improved

One benefit of omega-3 fatty acids that is important to everyone is the reduced risk of heart disease. It is relevant to men's health, because a man is more likely to suffer from a fatal heart attack than is a woman. A fish oil supplement is beneficial to the heart in several ways.

Clotting Risk Reduced

First, it reduces the risk of clotting. Clots can interrupt the blood flow to the heart, causing a heart attack. Blood clots are also responsible for stroke.

Second, omega-3 fatty acids have been shown to lower total and LDL cholesterol levels. High cholesterol, in particular, high levels of LDL cholesterol increase the risk of the heart disease that is typically seen in older people.

Commonly referred to as hardening of the arteries, atherosclerosis occurs when LDL cholesterol builds up on the interior portion of the arterial walls.

Men over the age of 40 are at a higher risk of heart attack. So, omega3s are particularly beneficial for men's health, from the age of 40 on. For more information please see my website listed below. Thanks, Larry L. Taylor

The 3 Common Water Problems With Fish Tanks

Posted: 09 Feb 2010 06:15 PM PST


The 3 Common Water Problems With Fish Tanks
by: Deon Dup


Keeping the water in your fish tank clean, pristine and healthy can be one of the most difficult tasks there is. If you are not very experienced having water trouble can be very puzzling and sometimes the problem can't even been seen. Some aquarium fish are very sensitive and the slightest change in water conditions can be fatal.

Let's briefly look at the 3 most common water problems that almost all fish tank aquariums suffer from at one time or another. Even though they often look the worse, the fact that you can see the mistake makes it quite easy to fix as there are some more serious problems that will kill your fish before you see the problem in the water.

1. Cloudy Water

Cloudy water can spoil your whole fish tank and turn a bright and colorful delight into a dirty "pond" where no one can appreciate your beautiful fish. Not only does it distract from the beauty of your tank, but it can be very unpleasant for your fish.

Cloudy water is mostly the cause of over feeding. With too much food, it tends to dissolve into the water and cause the cloudiness. Having too much fish in your tank can also cause cloudiness and your tanks' filtration can't keep up with the excess waste.

2. Green Water

If your fish tank looks like some alien dumped it's gue into it, then you need to act fast. Green water is most likely caused by algae and it can quickly take over your entire tank. One of the main causes is the sun. If your fish tank aquarium is exposed to direct sunlight, then algae will start growing at a rapid pace.

Make sure you place your tank well away from direct sunlight at all times of the day and year. A UV Clarifier can help you solve your green water problem, but a proper water change and a good scrub down can help you fix this problem.

3. Smelly Water

No one wants a beautiful fish tank on display that smell bad. Fish tanks can easily start smelling if proper care is not taken. The bad small is most likely caused by high ammonia and nitrite levels in the water.

When there is excess waste in your tank, ammonia and nitrates can build up and cause the water to become toxic. This is what causes the bad smell. The first thing you need to do is to check your filter and make sure that it's working properly and that it's capacity is sufficient for your tank size. To get rid of the smell, you will need to do a water change.

By designing your tank properly you can prevent a lot of these water problems. Having a big enough tank, with proper filtration and optimum location you can keep your fish tank aquarium pretty much hassle free.
