Yes I found this...\nEssential fatty acids are well known to improve many skin disorders, including dry, itchy, inflamed skin. These good fats improve the barrier function of the skin and help prevent moisture loss. Fish oil supplementation is especially effective in the treatment of psoriasis.12,13 Even increasing dietary consumption of oily fish has proven beneficial in combating psoriasis.

Absolutely, it's good to get omega-3 from fish oil/flax seed. I personally prefer flaxseed supplements because you don't get the fishy aftertaste.

Water, water, water.  Plain and simple.  It's the best thing you can do for your skin.  Hydrated skin looks fabulous and fresh.  Eating habits treally depend on you.  Are you trying to lose weight?  Just tone up?  Maintain a good thing?  Stay away from processed, packaged foods.  Lots of fresh veggies and fruit, baked chicken and fish, and at least 30 minutes a day of exercise will do wonders for anyone.

Fish Oil \n\n\nClaims, Benefits: Prevents heart disease, alleviates auto-immune disorders, plus many other claims. \n\nBottom Line: Fish oil contains heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids. Many studies find some beneficial effect, especially against heart attacks. But supplements can have adverse effects. We recommend fish, but not fish oil capsules, except for those with heart disease or auto-immune disorders. \n\nFull article, Wellness Letter, November 2003: \n\nShould You Take Fish Oil Pills? \n\nNearly every month there’s another study showing the health benefits of fish, and some of these studies have used fish-oil supplements. The Wellness Letter has never been big on these supplements. They contain the heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, but not the other good things in fish, and they are not without risk. Our opinion about these supplements has changed somewhat, however, because of ongoing research and new advice from the American Heart Association (AHA). \n\nHere’s who should consider taking fish-oil supplements: \n\nPeople who already have coronary artery disease, notably those who have had a heart attack. There is solid evidence that omega-3s can help protect them. Thus, last year the AHA started recommending 1 gram a day of omega-3s, preferably from fish, for these people, with their doctors’ approval. That’s the amount in a serving of fatty fish, such as 3 ounces of salmon. But most people don’t eat fish every day, and many choose less-fatty fish (it takes 12 ounces of canned tuna or 7 ounces of flounder to supply 1 gram of omega-3s). Moreover, since fish may contain mercury, we advise limiting fish intake to 12 ounces a week, on average. So to get enough omega-3s without going overboard on fish, people with heart disease should consider taking fish-oil supplements on days when they don’t eat fish. \n\nThose with high triglycerides. These fats in the blood increase the risk of heart disease. It’s well known that omega-3s help lower triglycerides. The AHA recommends 2 to 4 grams a day from supplements for people with high triglycerides, but only under the care of a physician. \n\nThose with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, or other auto-immune disorders. Omega-3s may help relieve the inflammatory symptoms of such auto-immune diseases by suppressing the immune response. Thus, they can help reduce the joint pain and swelling of rheumatoid arthritis. The Arthritis Foundation says the supplements are worth trying. Clinical studies suggest about 3 grams of omega-3s a day. \n\nWhat about people with coronary risk factors, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, but no apparent heart disease? We suggest that they get their omega-3s from two or three weekly servings of fatty fish. There have been no clinical studies to see if fish-oil supplements will help them. \n\nNot for everyone \n\nIf fish oil is so great, why shouldn’t everyone take supplements? \n\n• The decreased ability of the blood to clot, which helps prevent heart attacks, has a negative side, notably an increased risk of hemorrhagic stroke. People with bleeding disorders, those taking anticoagulants, and those with uncontrolled hypertension should not take fish oil supplements.\n\n• Large doses of fish oil may suppress the immune system. Thus, supplements may be risky for those with weakened immune systems. What’s a "large dose"? One definition is 3 grams or more a day, but no one really knows what the cutoff point is.\n\n• Large doses can increase glucose levels in people with diabetes.\n\n• Large doses can cause nausea, diarrhea, belching, and a bad taste in the mouth. \n\n• The supplements may contain contaminants and may not contain the labeled dose. A recent test by Consumer Reports of top-selling supplements was reassuring on both counts, even for the least expensive brands, but that doesn’t mean that the next batches will be okay—or that other brands on the market are. Last year a test by ConsumerLab.com found no de

Oatmeal does have good wheat germ oil for moisturizing, but your skin health is more determined by what you put in your body not on your body.  The two exceptions is sunscreen (reapplied at proper intervals) and vitamins (like Vitamin B).   \n\nIntake fish oil and vitamin e supplements to keep your skin and arteries nice and elastic for a long time.

I would suggest a multi-vitamin that has been designed specifically for men.  But make sure that the multi-vitamin has a high concentration of Omega 3 as an ingredient.  Or alternatively, take a fish oil capsule in addition to your multi-vitamin.  Fish oil and in particularly omega 3 rich fish oil have a proven track record in promoting health in the brain, nervous system and more importantly in your case the skin.  I used to have a bad acne problem when I was young and I can tell you, I tried everything.  But this was the only thing that really worked.  I also suggest the try adding deep sea fish as a regular staple in your diet also.  Good luck.\n\nPete (yaxman)

on the contrary, fish is very good for you. It's an excellent source of omega 3 fatty acids, that help with mood. The other lipids in fish are mostly unsaturated & so are much better for you than those found in meat or poultry. Also, fish contain a lot of vitamins & minerals like Vitamins D & E, and phosphorus & iodine that are needed.\n\nThe only danger is high mercury levels in larger, predatory fish like tuna, that eat a lot of little fish & then end up with much mercury in them. So it's healthier to eat canned tuna (made of smaller tuna fish & therefore less mercury) than tuna steaks.\n\nMahi Mahi have a common problem with histamene. So, make sure to buy fresh mahi mahi that has not been heat abused. Also, fish have a high bacterial load so one must cook it thoroughly.

NOT DIRECTLY!\nThere is no evidence the eating fish has a direct effect on intelligence. But fish has a number of health benefits. Fish contains omega3 fatty acids that are very good for controlling cholesterol and improving circulation. Since circulatory problems are one the main causes of dementia/memory loss, in the long-term eating fish could help out your intellectual functioning and it can't hurt anything. \nOne of best fish to eat for omega3 is salmon.

It may be worthwhile to have your Essential Fatty Acid levels tested.  These 'good fats' are commonly deficient or out of balance and can have a significant effect on skin health.\n\nYou will need to find a professional that specializes in nutritional assessment to get this tested, such as; some Chiropractors, most Naturopathic Physicians, any Certified Clinical Nutritionist (CCN) and a few Medical doctors.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

It is said to reduce blood cholesterol. I have started using it. Gram for gram all oils have the same number of calories which is 9. \nHow some oils are better than the others depends on their effect on your cholesterol. I use a combination of oils yo achieve the best results. \nFor an egg, fish or any other fry I would use Olive oil (Pomace). For other dishes I use Peanut, Sesame, Rice bran or Saffola/Sunflower oils. I do not use a mixture of these oils for a particular recipe, but use a different oil for each dish. This way my family benefits from the various nutrients present in different oils. The best oils though would be Olive, Canola followed by Peanut, Sesame, Rice Bran.....for lowering Cholesterol.

Fish. especially salmon, mackeral and the such (rich in Omega oils) Better than this would be to take an Omega 3 supplement 2-3 times a day. Go to a health food store and ask about it, apparently after being on for 3 months you would have decreased chances of sudden heart attack or stroke by 50%.

Fish oil contain what are know as omega 3 fatty acids and are suposed to be good for your overall cholesterol status and may help to reduce the levels of other "bad" types of fat in the blood.  The bottom line, as for now, is that it can't hurt.
