Why did you stop eating those things?

Eat more whole fish (the smaller ones) to replace the fish oils - eat

more avocados since you dropped the nuts. When I was eating 2-3 avocados

a day my skin was absolutely fabulous. Ditto for when I first started

eating LOTS of fish. When either fish or avocados are not prevalent in my

diet my skin is not as silky smooth *unless* I am making very liberal use

of coconut products both internally and externally.

Hi, List,

I tend to have dry skin, but the last year, after eating lots of nuts,

seeds, fish oil, avocado

and olive oil, my skin became much better, so much so that I no longer

needed to use moisturizers or

facial creams--an impossibility before. Now that I have stopped eating

nuts and taking fishoil, and

introduced more saturated animal fats, mainly raw milk and eggs, raw

cheeses, the skin on my hands

has become papery again. Has anyone else noticed this? What about those

who eat mainly animal foods?

How is your skin, hair, and nails (the three areas that show when

essential fatty acids are

missing).

Here are some symptoms of essential fatty acid lacks:

Anyone have more pimple-like bumps on the back of their arms and

thighs?

Dry, breakable nails?

Dry hair?

Papery skin?

Other skin problems--rash, eczema, hives?

Thanks,

Thanks, Bianca. Avocados do that for me, too. But during the winter, I find it

hard to eat them, and

would munch on nuts instead.
