| Question: | What can I do to remove or diminish stretch marks and prevent more from appearing? |
| Answer: | You need to supplement 15mg of zinc every day and ensure a good intake of essential fats. Both are needed to help skin and muscle cells strengthen and repair. The best way is to buy a glass jar, fill it half with flax seeds, half with sesame/sunflower/pumpkin seeds and keep it in the fridge. Every day grind some in a coffee grinder and have a tablespoon on your cereal, or sprinkle them on soups or salads or add to fruit smoothies. I' d also recommend taking a supplement providing the essential omegas GLA, EPA and DHA Ideally take 300mg of EPA, 200mg of DHA and 100mg of GLA a day. |
