Perhaps saying ‘under the sun’ isn’t quite the appropriate thing to say because what I am talking about here is something that you will get more of from ‘under the sea’ than on land.

Aging and wrinkling generally occur with the passage of time and most people can tell that they are growing old not just because they are starting to slow down and have more trouble completing mundane and everyday tasks, but when they start to see crinkles at the corners of their eyes and crowfeet at the sides of their mouths. For many it’s not just the fact that they are growing old or slowing down that gets them, but the gradual degradation of their looks and how some people start to avoid looking them in the face, or when they openly flinch when they see them.

I personally don’t know that anything hurts quite as bad as that does, which I will tell you is one of the things that led me on the journey to discovering ways for combating wrinkle formation on my skin – ways like DHA treatment. DHA is docosahexaenoic acid, an essential fatty acid which is polyunsaturated essential in nature. A lot of cold-water fish have an abundance of this substance, as do several algae that exist beneath the surface of the sea.

Ever wondered why wondered why Asian folks tend to have smoother facial features, seem to live longer, be more agile, and generally wrinkle slower? No? Wait a second and pick up any photo you can find of a fifty year old American and another of fifty year old Japanese. Notice the difference? Who looks younger? Who has the smoother features? You’ve got to face it. DHA has been linked in more ways than one to the reduction of cardiovascular disease and a good number of other health benefits. Cancers, arthritis, arteriosclerosis, and skin infections, to mention but a few, are diseases that are kept at bay by this natural chemical. And you wonder thy Asians look and live better…

Well, perhaps you didn’t know it, but human ingenuity has found many uses for algae, all the way from feeding of people and livestock, to using it as a thickening agent in ice cream and shampoo, as well as for warding off diseases. More than 150 species of algae are commercially important food sources and the over $2 billion of seaweed consumed each year by humans in Japan, China, and Korea. Fish also eat algae and store the DHA and omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in their bodies which you get when you consume fish. Oils from the fish is also extracted, refined and made into supplements. By merely watching your diet a bit and taking the right fish oil supplements you’d be able to live longer, look younger, and be stronger.

However, it is your responsibility to find the purest supplements out.
