Beauty from within

We all know salmon is a healthy food; but who knew it can work wonders as part of a beauty routine?

Eating healthily and exercising regularly brings inner beauty to the surface. And King salmon is an ideal food for keeping us ‘beautiful’ inside and out.

Regal King Salmon is a rich and natural source of long-chain Omega-3 fatty acids, powerful antioxidants and essential minerals including selenium, zinc, iodine and vitamin D.

Today scientists, doctors and dermatologists tell us that healthy Omega-3s can attack the ageing process and really make a difference to your skin, your hair and how you look.

Here’s how:

• Omega-3 essential fatty acids can help with wrinkles by reducing the body’s production of inflammatory substances resulting in less damage to the skin.
• Fatty acids also help skin maintain its proper moisture level for a soft, supple and younger look.
• Salmon is good for your hair because it contains proteins, a key building block for locks. Iodine and zinc is known to help promote healthy hair growth and prevent natural hair loss.
• Proteins also repair and maintain skin cells helping to retain contours and definition

So, how much salmon should we be eating?

A Regal King salmon steak about the size and thickness of a deck of cards contains about 2,000mgs of long-chain Omega-3s.

To prevent a deficiency of Omega-3s, health authorities recommend about 650mgs of omega-3s a week for women and 1,100mgs for men. Salmon twice a week is ideal.

A healthy body leads not only to a healthy mind. It’s also a natural way of ensuring any beauty routine has a firm foundation on which to build.
