Omega – 3: The skin is the largest organ acting as a barrier that protects our body from most of the problems. This skin is made up of certain amount of fat as well with omega-3 as major one. Lack of this loosens your skin not being able to retain moisture. So, supplying your body with omega-3 rich foods makes your skin a much strong barrier and helps retain moisture. Some of the omega-3 rich foods that can be included in your everyday diet are walnuts, flaxseeds, chia seeds, soyabean and fish.
