Food Of The Week- Nuts & Seeds // Raw Skincare

We thought it would be a great idea to give you weekly advice on what else you can do to help your skin look and feel great, other than our products.

Things start from the inside which is why we have introduced our Food of the week. This week we wanted to tell you how great nuts and seeds are for your skin and your health.

Nuts contain a lot of EFA (Essential Fatty Acids) which states in the name, they are essential. These are not something that your body can produce and therefore must be obtained by food. These are the "good" fats that your body needs. By having a large intake of EFA's it is believed that you will reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering cholesterol.*

EFA's found in foods such as nuts and seeds (Sunflower seeds, almonds etc) are fantastic for your skin because they help to reduce inflammation in the body. If you suffer with acne, this may help reduce the appearance of spots and redness.

So switch your bag of crisps or chocolate bar for some healthy Nuts & Seeds.
