2. It has to contain nutrients to support overall wellness
Luckily, I have an easy recipe for you today that fills both of those promises.
And as a bonus, it’s light and perfect for a warm summer evening… or lunch.
Seared Albacore Tuna with Citrus Avocado Salad
The reason I love the albacore tuna in this dish is because it’s high in protein and packs a heart-healthy Omega-3 fatty acids but still low in calories and contains no carbs
Here’s how Albacore Tuna stacks up:
A 6 ounce serving is roughly:
• 210 calories
• 40 grams of protein
• 5 grams of fat
• 0 carbs
• 0 sugar
I have a little more info I want to share with you about the science of Omega-3’s, but first I’ll get straight to the recipe.
Seared Albacore Tuna with Citrus Avocado Salad
Ingredients
For the tuna:
• 4 albacore tuna steaks (about 6 ounces each)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
For the citrus avocado salad:
• 2 oranges, peeled and segmented
• 1 grapefruit, peeled and segmented
• 1 avocado, diced
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small cucumber, thinly sliced
• 1 handful of fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 1 handful of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Juice of 1 lime
• Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Directions
Prepare the salad:
• In a large bowl, combine the orange and grapefruit segments, avocado, red onion, cucumber, mint, and cilantro.
• Drizzle with olive oil and lime juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
• Toss gently to combine and set aside.
Prepare the tuna:
• Pat the tuna steaks dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
• If using, sprinkle sesame seeds on both sides of the tuna steaks.
Sear the tuna:
• Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over high heat.
• Once the pan is hot, add the tuna steaks. Sear for about 1-2 minutes on each side for rare, or 3-4 minutes for medium-rare, depending on your preference.
• The tuna should have a nice sear on the outside while remaining pink in the center.
Serve:
• Arrange the citrus avocado salad on plates.
• Place the seared tuna steaks on top of the salad.
• Garnish with additional mint and cilantro leaves if desired.
• Serve immediately.
Optional:
• Add a light drizzle of balsamic glaze over the tuna for an extra touch of flavor.
• Serve with a side of quinoa or a light grain for a more filling meal.
This dish is not only visually appealing but also packed with flavors that complement the rich, buttery texture of albacore tuna. Enjoy!
Why did you go with albacore tuna instead of something else, like salmon?
Well, there are two reasons…
1. We eat a lot of salmon, and I like to mix it up
2. Albacore tuna is not only delicious, it contains more Omega-3 fatty acids than any other form of tuna (and more than salmon, also)
But if you’re not a fish lover or it’s not part of your diet…I urge you to make this salad and pair it with another great source of lean protein like chicken or turkey or beef.
But to be 100% honest with you, I don’t run around planning out my meals by calculating each nutrient down to the milligram.
What am I supposed to do—bust out a calculator while I’m in the kitchen? That’s just not practical and frankly, sounds exhausting.
But I do know for a fact that me and my entire family get the proper servings of Omega-3’s everyday, no matter what we eat.
That’s because we all take Dynamic Krill Oil every day, packed with 1,600 mg of K•REAL® Pure Antarctic Krill Oil. Just like it sounds, the krill are sourced from the pristine waters of the Antarctic Ocean, but this supplement from Stonehenge Health has something that no other product on the market can claim:
100% source transparency on every bottle.
Seriously, just scan the QR code on the bottom of the bottle with the camera app on your smartphone, input your batch number on our website, and you can see a map of the exact location where the krill in your bottle was harvested.
Pretty neat, huh?

There are a lot of things I love about working at Stonehenge Health.
I get to write about my passion—health and wellness.
I research and learn about cutting-edge new ingredients, studies, and products.
I work with amazing and talented people.
But my favorite part about working here?
I get to hear stories about people transforming their lives through better health.
I talk with people who tell me how our products have helped them improve their health literally every day, and I read dozens more online, too.
Today, I wanted to share some of those stories with you, specifically about one of our most versatile products: Dynamic Krill Oil.
Have you ever wondered if there’s a supplement that could address multiple health concerns at once?
Imagine finding something that supports your overall well-being, from reducing joint discomfort to improving mental clarity.
At Stonehenge Health, we’ve formulated Dynamic Krill Oil to do just that, plus a lot more.
But don’t just take my word for it—listen to what our community has to say. Here are a few of my favorites:
Improved Mobility and Reduced Discomfort
“One week into my first bottle of Dynamic Krill Oil, my right knee discomfort from a broken knee cap years ago has disappeared. Previously, kneeling caused serious problems. Three weeks in, my lower back discomfort is also considerably reduced.”*
Our customers often report rapid relief from long-standing discomfort. Whether it’s a knee injury or back stiffness, Dynamic Krill Oil helps to improve mobility and reduce discomfort, allowing you to enjoy your day.*
Clean and Pure Omega-3 Source
“I’m new to krill oil but have done a lot of research and am convinced of its benefits. After a few weeks, I feel great with zero side effects. I like that krill oil is cleaner than other types of fish oils for Omega-3’s because krill are lower on the food chain, helping them avoid pollutants that build up as larger creatures devour smaller ones. Plus, Antarctica is definitely clean as oceans go.”
Krill oil is a superior source of Omega-3 fatty acids because it’s derived from small, shrimp-like creatures found in the clean, unpolluted waters of Antarctica.*
This means fewer contaminants and a purer product for you.*
No Fishy Aftertaste
“There is no fishy aftertaste, and it contains high amounts of astaxanthin and phospholipids. After a few days of use, it relieved my dry eye symptoms.”
One common complaint about fish oil supplements is the unpleasant aftertaste.
Dynamic Krill Oil eliminates this issue, providing all the benefits without the fishy burps. Plus, the added astaxanthin and phospholipids enhance its effectiveness, particularly for conditions like dry eyes.*
Relief from Joint Discomfort and Swelling
“I’ve been taking Dynamic Krill Oil every day for about six months. Within days of starting, I noticed that my ankles were not swollen and stiff at the end of the day.”*
Dynamic Krill Oil can significantly reduce joint discomfort, making daily activities more comfortable.*
Many folks have experienced noticeable improvements in their joint health.*
Enhanced Mental Clarity
“I have been using Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Krill Oil for about 18 months and have to say that within the first week or so of using it, I felt a significant improvement in my mental clarity. It was such a relief to have my ‘sharp brain’ back; I can’t even explain my excitement. I thought I was doomed to declining mental faculties, and perhaps that is waiting for me down the road, but now? Now I have the brain I had 15-20 years ago, and I completely attribute it to this krill oil. Not only that, but I also experienced a noticeable reduction in my joint discomfort. Try it; you’ll be excited, too.”*
Dynamic Krill Oil isn’t just about physical health. Like the review above, many members of our community find that it enhances mental clarity and cognitive function, giving them back the sharpness and mental acuity they thought they had lost.*
Effective Swelling Reduction
“I had a case of swollen feet and lower legs, particularly my left. I took some other natural supplements that helped a little, but I still had significant swelling. I purchased my first Dynamic Krill Oil three months ago and started using it as soon as it arrived. I noticed a reduction in the swelling after about 4 weeks, and after 3 months of use the swelling in my feet and legs is about 95% improved. I am very happy with the product and have reordered it. Actually, I signed up for the automatic shipment program.”*
Persistent swelling can be uncomfortable. Dynamic Krill Oil has been shown to provide much-needed relief.*

We often get asked what the optimal time is to take a supplement. You may have heard that you should take them with food on an empty stomach, or… take them before breakfast, or… take them before you go to sleep, so which is it?
The answers depend on the ingredients, what you want to accomplish, and, most importantly, what you want to avoid—like insomnia or digestive discomfort.
So, let’s break it down by product type to discover when and why timing matters in achieving the full benefits you’re looking for in your daily supplement routines.
Water-Soluble Vitamins
The human body does not naturally store water-soluble vitamins for later use, so you need to replenish them daily through your diet or supplements.
Two of the most well-known water-soluble vitamins are B complex and C vitamins.
In general, it’s safe to take any B vitamins or a B-complex vitamin at any time of the day.
But because B vitamins are known to boost your energy, taking them first thing in the morning lets you take advantage of their energy-boosting properties.
Recent research also shows that B Vitamins may interfere with sleep and even cause vivid dreams—another reason to take them earlier in the day.1
Vitamin C naturally occurs in citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruit, and lemons. No matter how you get your Vitamin C—fruit or supplements—the benefits are enormous. It’s an essential nutrient that not only supports a healthy immune system but also collagen synthesis and brain health.
However, a study on 16,000 Americans showed that one in three of us is still Vitamin C deficient.2
Note: Because even a moderate Vitamin C deficiency can lead to dry skin, a reduction in collagen synthesis, and an impaired immune system, consider taking a high-quality daily supplement like Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Liposomal Vitamin C.
This formula contains a potent daily dose of 1,500 mg of fat-soluble and highly bioavailable Vitamin C. Dynamic Liposomal Vitamin C efficiently replenishes your daily needs.
Fat-Soluble Vitamins
Some examples of fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins A, D, E, and K.
Fat-soluble vitamins dissolve in oil, so they should generally be taken alongside food.
Studies show that taking fat-soluble vitamins immediately following a meal may boost the amount of vitamins your body absorbs.3
This means that it doesn’t particularly matter what time you take them as long as you take them with food.
Probiotics can help restore your gut with helpful bacteria that balance your gut microbiome. Getting (and keeping) your gut in balance is key to feeling your best.
Your digestive system becomes less active while you sleep; therefore, the best time to take probiotic supplements like Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Biotics is at bedtime. This way, the probiotics have the chance to hang out longer in your intestines and colonize.
Note:Dynamic Biotics contains 55 billion colony-forming units (CFUs) of lactobacillus and bifidobacterium probiotic strains. It also includes prebiotics to help nourish the good bacteria and give them the food they need to have the best chance to colonize and thrive in your gut.*
Minerals
It’s best to take minerals such as zinc and magnesium before bedtime.
Some minerals produce a calming effect that may help you fall asleep more quickly and sleep more deeply.4
If you’ve been prescribed a mineral supplement twice a day, the best times to take it are morning and evening.
Omega-3’s
Omega-3 supplements offer a wide range of health benefits, from a better mood to better mobility.*
Many experts recommend taking essential fatty acids with a meal, ideally dinner. Omega-3 is more likely to be tolerated by your body when taken with food, and the enzymes released during digestion help facilitate absorption.5
An emulsified form of krill oil is best, as it can further help with absorption.*
Fish oil is a popular omega-3 supplement that has a reputation for causing indigestion and nausea. Because fish oil is hard to digest, take fish oil in divided doses if you can, not before exercise or bedtime. Physical activity or moving your body into a prone position may cause unpleasant fishy-tasting reflux, sometimes referred to as “fish burps.”
Note: Many people have turned to krill oil due to its increased bioavailability compared to fish oil. Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Krill Oilcontains 1,600 mg of K•REAL® Pure Antarctic Krill Oil (with EPA and DHA), ensuring that your body gets enough to thrive.*
Antioxidants
Antioxidants protect your cells from free radical damage caused by exposure to pollution, and chemicals and as a byproduct of an unhealthy lifestyle.*
Antioxidant supplements like Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Turmeric should be taken with a meal to help maximize absorption and minimize stomach upset. If you’re taking a twice-a-day dosage, you can take one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Adaptogens
Adaptogens—like the ones found in some functional mushrooms—help you adapt to all forms of stress, such as physical exertion, noise, fatigue, and emotional strain.*
Given their wide range of wellness benefits, adaptogens have exploded in popularity in the last few years.
Given that some adaptogens stimulate while others are more relaxing, timing an adaptogen depends on what you want to accomplish. Take energizing adaptogens like Lion’s Mane and Cordyceps in the morning or during the day.
Note: If you want to stay calm during a stressful workday, take a multi-adaptogen formula like Stonehenge Health Dynamic Mushrooms.* Lion’s Mane and Maitake will give you focus and energy, while the Reishi will help you stay calm and balanced.*
Multi-Ingredient Supplements
Nutritional supplements that address specific health goals—such as boosting immunity to help stave off infection or improving cognitive function—often contain various ingredients that don’t fit entirely into one category.
Take Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Brain—It’s a combination of 40 ingredients, including vitamins, minerals, and neuro-nutrients, that support your brain’s health while also helping to improve your memory and focus.*
For multi-ingredient supplements like this, follow the instructions on the bottle.
If it is a multi-pill dosage, split the number of pills between morning and evening. Do not take Dynamic Brain at night. It contains a high level of B-complex vitamins known to boost energy. Therefore, the best time of day to take Dynamic Brain is first thing in the morning.
One last thing: Not all supplements on the market are monitored for quality, purity, or safety like prescription drugs. You should always select supplements made by a reputable source that is third-party tested and manufactured in cGMP-certified facilities in the United States, like all the high-quality products made by Stonehenge Health.
No matter how you’re looking to benefit from taking supplements, consistent daily use is the key to getting the results you’re looking for. Finding the time of day that works best for your needs and incorporating them as part of your routine is the ideal way to feel the maximum results and long-term benefits of any nutritional supplement you select.

Fish oil and krill oil have been a mainstay in the health and wellness conversation for years now for one primary reason:
Omega-3 fatty acids.
There’s a great reason for all the hype.
Omega-3s have been clinically proven to deliver incredible health benefits such as:
• Heart health: Omega-3s have been clinically proven to support heart health in various ways.*1
• Eye health: Omega-3 is one of the structural components of the retina in the eyes, and supplementation can support overall eye health.*2
• Bone and joint health: Omega-3s can boost the amount of calcium in bones, which leads to improved bone strength.3 They are also beneficial in reducing joint discomfort and stiffness.*
• Mental health support: High levels of Omega-3s are associated with improved mood and cognitive function.*4
• Sleep quality: Omega-3 fatty acids, particularly DHA, may contribute to better sleep quality.*5
So, if krill oil and fish oil have Omega-3s, you’ll get the same health benefits from either, right?
Not exactly.
It turns out there are several key differences between krill oil and fish oil—backed by science—that provide the answer to the question:
Which is better for you: Krill or fish oil?
When you look at the facts, there is really no comparison.
Here are four reasons krill oil is best for your health.
1. Omega-3 Health Benefits
Fish oil is renowned for its high concentration of Omega-3 fatty acids, specifically EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). As listed in the section above, these fats are crucial for providing many health benefits.
Krill oil also contains EPA and DHA. However, unlike fish oil, the Omega-3s in krill oil are bound to phospholipids, which studies suggest may enhance the body’s absorption of these fatty acids.
Both supplements effectively deliver Omega-3 benefits, but krill oil may offer an edge in bioavailability.* This means that the same amount of Omega-3s might be more effectively used by the body when sourced from krill oil, potentially increasing its health benefits per gram.*
Advantage: Krill oil.
2. Additional Health Benefits
Beyond Omega-3s, only one type of oil has additional advantages.
Fish oil is a well-established supplement often used for various conditions linked to Omega-3 deficiencies, but the benefits it provides are all related to Omega-3s.
Krill oil, on the other hand, contains astaxanthin, a potent antioxidant that fish oil lacks. Astaxanthin offers additional antioxidant properties, protecting cells from damage and supporting your health.*
The astaxanthin in krill oil provides a unique bonus outside Omega-3s, offering more comprehensive health benefits.*
Advantage: Krill oil.
3. Absorption
The form of Omega-3s plays a crucial role in how well they are absorbed and utilized by the body.
Fish oil’s Omega-3s are primarily in triglyceride form, which can be less efficiently absorbed compared to the phospholipid form found in krill oil.
Phospholipids align more closely with the human body’s cell structure, facilitating a more straightforward absorption pathway.
This enhanced absorption means that krill oil might offer more Omega-3 benefits at lower dosages, making it an appealing option for those who prefer to take fewer supplements.*
Advantage: Krill oil.
4. Purity and Sourcing
Purity is a significant concern when it comes to fish oil—and fish in general—as fish from the ocean can contain mercury and other environmental toxins. The purity of fish largely depends on the fish source, the food chain from which it comes, and the waters from which it is harvested.
Fish oil is primarily derived from capelin, sand eel, anchovy, horse mackerel, cod liver, pilchard, and menhaden. These fish can be caught in many places worldwide, often in polluted oceans.
In contrast, krill oil typically shows lower levels of contaminants for a few reasons:
• Krill have short lifespans, giving them less time to ingest toxins
• Krill are on the bottom of the food chain, giving them less chance to ingest toxins
• Krill live in the Antarctic Ocean, which contains the most pristine waters on Earth
With Dynamic Krill Oil from Stonehenge Health, you can actually see the exact source of your krill oil bottle by scanning the QR code on the label of each bottle and entering the lot number on our website.
Note: Both krill and fish oil products should be certified by third-party organizations to ensure they are free from harmful levels of contaminants and that they contain the advertised levels of Omega-3s.
Advantage: Krill oil.
Both krill oil and fish oil offer valuable health benefits, particularly in delivering Omega-3 fatty acids essential for maintaining various aspects of health.*
However, krill oil has a clear advantage due to better absorption, lack of harmful contaminants, and additional antioxidant benefits from astaxanthin.*
If you’re considering integrating krill oil into your health regimen, Dynamic Krill Oilfrom Stonehenge Health is a top-rated option.
Our product contains the highest-quality ingredients, and we ensure that each batch is sustainably harvested, transparently sourced, and rigorously tested for purity and potency. This aligns with our commitment to environmental responsibility and high-quality health supplements.

Choosing the right Omega-3 supplement can significantly influence your health journey. Consider making Dynamic Krill Oil part of your daily routine to reap the profound benefits.
But this lesson is so profound we had to share it with you today.
In a world that often teaches us to seek validation and love from external sources, the Magical Kitchen serves as a profound reminder of the boundless love that resides within us all.
This story challenges our perceptions of love and dependency and shines a light on the path to a fulfilling life rooted in self-love and generosity.
Ready to have your mind blown? Check this out.
What is the Magical Kitchen?
Imagine possessing a magical kitchen, abundant in every imaginable delicacy, offering unconditional nourishment to anyone who enters your home. The quantity and quality of your meals are endless.
If somebody came to your door and offered you a slice of pizza on the condition that you give up your magical kitchen and do what they say, you would think they were crazy. You wouldn’t do it.
Your magical kitchen is the inexhaustible source of love within your heart—a love so vast and self-sustaining that you don’t need anything else. This concept is the essence of self-love and independence, knowing that you have everything you need within yourself.
But if you’re like many people, you’re not always bursting with self-love. Often, you may seek out love from others.
And this leads to a problem…
Starvation Leads to Dependency
Now, imagine a situation in which you don’t have a magical kitchen. In fact, you’re starving.
If that same person offers you that same slice of pizza under the same conditions, you’ll take it because you need it.
When we lack love for ourselves (no magical kitchen), we become vulnerable to manipulation, willing to compromise our values for the mere promise of affection from others. This desperation not only diminishes our self-worth but also entraps us in cycles of seeking external validation to fill an internal void.
Like the magical kitchen, your heart is a source of infinite love. Embracing this truth empowers you to share your love generously without fear of depletion.
As Ruiz says, “What makes you happy is love coming out of you.”
This generosity of spirit enriches your life and attracts genuine connections and reciprocated love.
Self-Care as an Act of Love
In nurturing this inner abundance, self-care becomes an essential practice.
Caring for your mind, body, and spirit through healthy habits, mindfulness, and nourishment is an act of love that keeps the kitchen well-stocked.
Taking care of yourself is not just a routine chore; it’s a way to keep your Magical Kitchen stocked.
Integrating high-quality supplements like Dynamic Krill Oilis a testament to self-love. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants, and nutrients, Dynamic Krill Oilsupports your heart, brain, and overall health, ensuring you remain vibrant and capable of sharing your love with the world.*
The Generosity of the Heart
The magical kitchen within us teaches that love, when freely given and received, has the power to transform our lives and the lives of those around us. It encourages us to look inward for fulfillment, to care for ourselves with the same generosity we extend to others, and to understand that in the wealth of our hearts lies the true source of connection and joy.
Let us remember that every act of self-care, including the nourishment we provide our bodies, reflects our self-love.
By choosing supplements like Dynamic Krill Oil, we invest in our physical health and affirm the abundance of love within us, ready to be shared unconditionally.
Explore the path to unconditional love and discover how taking care of yourself is the first step in truly and freely loving others.

Let’s unravel the secrets of one of nature’s most powerful nutrients…
Omega-3 fatty acids, the unsung heroes of dietary fats, stand at the forefront of health science, offering a treasure trove of benefits that seem almost too good to be true.
Imagine a single nutrient capable of bolstering heart health, sharpening your brainpower, assisting your vision, ensuring the agility of your joints, and acting as a guardian against the invisible threats that free radicals pose to our cells.
In this blog post, we’re embarking on a journey to explore how these essential fats work their magic, the science behind their health benefits, and how you can easily incorporate them into your life.
Get ready to be amazed by the profound impact that omega-3s can have on your well-being, and unlock the mystery of how these essential fats can transform your health in ways you never thought possible.
Let’s get started.
What are Omega-3 fatty acids?
Omega-3 fatty acids are super special helpers for your body, like superheroes for your health! Imagine you have a team of tiny heroes traveling through your body, fighting off bad guys like sickness and keeping your heart, brain, and eyes strong and happy. These heroes are called Omega-3s.
There are three main types of these superhero Omega-3s:
• ALA (Alpha-linolenic acid): This one comes from plants. Think of eating seeds like flaxseeds or walnuts and green, leafy vegetables. ALA is like the base hero that can turn into other types of heroes your body needs.
• EPA (Eicosapentaenoic acid): This hero is found in fish and seafood. EPA is great at fighting swelling, which is the body’s way of getting swollen or irritated by bad guys.
• DHA (Docosahexaenoic acid): Also found in fish and seafood, DHA is critical for your brain and eyes, ensuring they work their best and stay sharp.
In simple terms, omega-3 fatty acids are essential fats your body needs but can’t make on its own. That means we have to get them from what we eat. They’re like power-ups that help keep different parts of our body working well, supporting everything from our mood to how well we can see and think.
Why are they called Omega-3 fatty acids?
Imagine you have a long train made of tiny building blocks. Now, this train is a special kind of fat that’s really good for you, called an omega-3 fatty acid. The reason it’s called “omega-3” is because of the way the train is put together.
If you start counting the building blocks from the end of the train at the caboose and move towards the front, you’ll find something special about the third block. This third block has a special hook or connection that makes omega-3s different from other fats. Because this unique thing happens at the third block from the end, we call it “omega-3.”
The “special hook” in the third block from the end is not just a trivial detail; it’s a fundamental aspect of why omega-3 fatty acids are so beneficial for health. It sets them apart from other types of fats and underlies many of their health-promoting properties.
Can you survive without Omega-3 fatty acids?
No, you can’t really thrive without Omega-3 fatty acids. Think of Omega-3s as essential tools in your body’s toolkit. Just like a builder needs a hammer and nails to create a strong house, your body needs Omega-3s to build and maintain a healthy you.
With these superhero nutrients, your body can benefit from critical health benefits.
So, while you might survive without Omega-3s for a while, your body wouldn’t be at its best. It’s like trying to use a smartphone with a really low battery; it might still work, but not nearly as well as when it’s fully charged. Including Omega-3s in your diet is a smart move for your body to thrive and for you to feel your best.
While the absence of omega-3 fatty acids is not immediately life-threatening, a deficiency could lead to significant health issues over time.
• Heart: They help keep your heart healthy by lowering bad fat levels in your blood and increasing good fat levels. They can also help lower high blood pressure and make it less likely that you will have heart problems.
• Brain: Omega-3s can make you feel happier and less anxious. They are also good for your brain’s health, helping you remember things better and think clearly.
• Eyes: They are important for your eyesight. Omega-3 fat helps keep the eyes healthy.
• Bones and joints: Omega-3s can help strengthen your bones and make your joints move more smoothly.
• Sleep: They can help you sleep better. Good sleep is important for your overall health.
• Skin: Omega-3s keep your skin healthy by making it soft, moist, and smooth. They can also help reduce wrinkles and acne.
As you can see, Omega-3s help nearly every aspect of your body.
Where can you get Omega-3 fatty acids?
Luckily, there are a ton of ways for you to get Omega-3s into your body.
• Fatty fish: This is one of the best sources of EPA and DHA, two important Omega-3 fatty acids. Examples include salmon, mackerel, sardines, herring, and trout.
• Seafood: Besides fatty fish, other seafood like oysters, mussels, and shrimp also contain Omega-3s, though in smaller amounts compared to the fatty fish above.
• Flaxseeds and flaxseed oil: These are rich in ALA, another type of Omega-3 fatty acid. Flaxseeds can be added to foods like yogurt, salads, or smoothies.
• Chia seeds: Like flaxseeds, chia seeds are a good plant-based source of ALA and can be easily incorporated into various dishes.
• Hemp seeds: Another small but powerful source of ALA Omega-3s.
• Walnuts: Walnuts are another plant-based source of ALA and can be eaten as a snack or added to different recipes.
• Soybeans and soy products: Soybeans and soy-based foods like tofu and tempeh contain ALA and are a good option for vegetarians and vegans.
• Eggs: Depending on the hens’ diet, some eggs are fortified with Omega-3s. Look for eggs labeled as containing Omega-3 fatty acids.
• Krill oil supplements: Krill (small, shrimp-like crustaceans from the ocean) have been a food source since the 19th century. Today, rather than eating the krill themselves, the oil is extracted, refined, and put into an easy-to-swallow softgel capsule.
Are you getting enough Omega-3 fatty acids?
As important as they are for your health, your body cannot produce Omega-3 fatty acids on its own. Eating fish daily or taking krill oil supplements can help ensure you’re getting enough of these important fats.
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), many Americans could benefit from higher intakes of Omega-3s.1
If eating more fish, flaxseed, walnuts, eggs, and soy isn’t on the menu, and if you’re among the many who should increase their intake of Omega-3s, Dynamic Krill Oil™ from Stonehenge Health is the answer for you.
Sourced from the pure waters of the Antarctic Ocean, Dynamic Krill Oil is an essential supplement for your health and well-being.
Give your body the help it needs by including Dynamic Krill Oil in your daily routine to support your heart, brain, and eye health while maintaining healthy joints and neutralizing free radicals.*
Beauty isn’t just about having a pretty face. It’s about radiating confidence and feeling comfortable in your skin.
Over time, beauty experts have shared numerous tips and tricks to help enhance natural beauty. Here are the top ten timeless beauty tips that you need to know, with a surprising unconventional idea taking the lead.
1. Embrace Your Unique Beauty
There is a profound truth in understanding that beauty is not a one-size-fits-all concept; it is diverse, subjective, and deeply personal. Recognizing this, it’s important to embrace the notion that every individual possesses a unique form of beauty – and yes, that includes you.
Your uniqueness is your strength. It sets you apart from the crowd and makes you who you are. So, cherish your individuality. Your so-called ‘imperfections’ are not flaws but distinguishing features that contribute to your overall beauty.
Instead of conforming to what society says is beautiful, which often tends to be narrow and unrealistic, focus on enhancing your natural beauty. Celebrate your unique features, your skin, your body shape, and your distinct characteristics. The most beautiful people are those who feel comfortable in their own skin and aren’t afraid to show the world their authentic selves.
Remember, confidence is key. There is nothing more attractive than a person who carries themselves with self-assuredness. Confidence isn’t about being arrogant or thinking you’re better than others; it’s about recognizing your worth and not being afraid to express it. When you wear your confidence proudly, it radiates from you, making you even more attractive.
So, step into your power. Embrace your unique beauty, and don’t let anyone make you feel otherwise. Because at the end of the day, true beauty comes from within, and there’s nothing more beautiful than being unapologetically you.
2.Commit to a Skincare Routine Inside + Out
Maintaining a radiant complexion requires more than just surface-level care. It’s about committing to a skincare routine that nurtures your skin from the inside as well as the outside.
Regular cleansing, toning, and moisturizing are foundational steps for preserving your skin’s natural glow. Cleanse your face twice daily to eliminate dirt and excess oils. Follow with a toner to restore your skin’s pH balance, and conclude with a moisturizer to keep your skin soft and hydrated.
It’s widely understood that exposure to the sun can cause skin aging, hyperpigmentation, and even skin cancer. Hence, it’s crucial to begin your day by applying sunscreen, regardless of the weather conditions. Opt for broad-spectrum sunscreens as they protect against UVA and UVB rays. Aim to use a product with an SPF of at least 30 for optimal protection.
But don’t stop there. Your skin’s health is also significantly influenced by what happens beneath the surface.
The Power of Vitamin C for Skin Health and Beauty
Vitamin C is a unique antioxidant that has a vital role in promoting collagen production, a protein that enhances skin firmness and elasticity, keeping it plump and youthful2.
Moreover, vitamin C protects against sun damage and supports the skin’s ability to combat harmful UV rays2. Furthermore, a high vitamin C intake helps decrease skin dryness and retains water in the skin, providing essential moisture2.
Because vitamin C deficiency can lead to dry skin and a reduction in collagen synthesis, along with an unsupported immune system, consider taking a high-quality daily supplement like Stonehenge Health’s Dynamic Liposomal Vitamin C.*
This liposomal formula is a blend of 1,500 mg of fat-soluble and highly bioavailable vitamin C and ascorbic acid. Dynamic Liposomal Vitamin Cefficiently replenishes your daily needs.* Subtle, glowing skin, here you come.
3. Nature’s Spa: Cold Showers
Surprisingly, one of the most unconventional yet effective beauty tips is to take cold showers. While it might sound daunting at first, cold showers can provide numerous beauty benefits. They help skin feel firmer, which may also help reduce the appearance of other imperfections. Cold showers also stimulate blood circulation, promoting healthier skin and hair. Plus, they can wake you up in the morning and leave you feeling invigorated and refreshed, adding a natural glow to your beauty.1
To take a cold shower – start with 30 seconds of cold water at around 70°F and gradually increase the duration while you lower the temperature – go no lower than around 60°F
Be aware that cold showers can constrict your airways — making them particularly dangerous for people with heart and lung conditions.
4. Healthy Eating
Indeed, the adage “you are what you eat” holds true. A well-balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and wholesome fats supports your skin’s health from the inside out.
The magic lies particularly in foods teeming with antioxidants like berries and leafy greens. Antioxidants, including vitamins C, A, E, and carotenoids, safeguard cells from damage inflicted by free radicals, according to Mayo Clinic3. Moreover, an antioxidant-rich diet, replete with fruits, veggies, nuts, whole grains, and fatty fish, fosters healthy skin.4
Therefore, incorporating nutrient-dense foods rich in antioxidants, including certain types of berries, nuts, and vegetables, into your diet not only combats harmful free radicals but also slows the aging process and promotes overall well-being.5
5. Sleep & Stress Reduction
The concept of beauty sleep is far from fictional. As you slumber, your body enters a restorative phase, mending and revitalizing your skin. Coupled with effective stress management techniques, you can further enhance your body’s healing process. Strive for a solid 7-9 hours of sleep each night while incorporating relaxation practices into your routine to keep stress at bay.
The enhanced blood flow carries oxygen and nutrients to your skin cells, promoting their health and vitality. This nourishment helps the cells perform their functions optimally and can even facilitate collagen production, a protein responsible for maintaining your skin’s elasticity and firmness.
7. Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate
Taking care of your skin is a key part of overall health and beauty, requiring attention to internal and external factors. Internally, dehydration can have a detrimental impact on your skin’s health. That’s why ensuring you’re drinking enough water to keep your body well-hydrated from the inside is crucial. Externally, your skin could be harmed by environmental factors like sun exposure, pollution, and harsh weather conditions.
A quality moisturizer plays a significant role here. Regularly applying a good moisturizer across your entire body helps restore the skin’s hydration levels, keeping it soft and plump. It also acts as a shield against external damage, trapping essential moisture and nutrients in the skin while warding off harmful environmental effects. Thus, staying well-hydrated, both internally and externally, is a vital beauty tip for promoting healthier, more glowing skin.
8. Remove Makeup Before Bed
Wearing makeup can enhance your features and boost your confidence, but it’s crucial to remember that leaving it on overnight can damage our skin.
One of the main problems with not removing makeup before sleep is that it can clog your pores. Throughout the day, makeup, combined with the natural oils and sweat our skin produces, can accumulate in the pores, leading to blockages. These blockages are often the root cause of unwanted breakouts, blackheads, and a dull complexion.
Therefore, it’s essential to always remove your makeup before going to bed, regardless of how exhausted you may feel. It might be tempting to skip this step, especially after a long day or a night out, but keeping your skin clean and clear requires consistency in your skincare routine. Your skin does most of its healing and rejuvenating while you’re asleep, so give it the best chance to do so by ensuring it’s clean.
9. Don’t Neglect Your Hair
The condition of your hair is not necessarily an indicator of your overall health or well-being, mainly as natural changes occur with aging. However, it still requires a similar level of care and attention as any other part of your body.
Regular trims, deep conditioning treatments, and avoiding excessive heat styling can help maintain healthy, shiny hair. Also, choose hair products suitable for your hair type and concerns.
Making the most of your hair doesn’t always mean investing in expensive treatments or products. It’s also about nurturing from within.
Biotin (B7), Vitamin D, A, and E all play an important role in the health of your hair.6
Omega-3 is a vital form of fatty acid that performs a critical function in maintaining your body’s overall health and well-being. These fatty acids are known for their nourishing properties that can help keep your hair healthy and support its thickening.6 However, omega-3 is classified as “essential” because your body cannot produce it on its own, and it must be obtained from dietary sources.
Adding a quality omega-3 like Stonehenge Health Dynamic Krill Oil to your routine can also help combat dryness from within and soothe a dry or irritated scalp.*
10. Don’t Neglect Your Teeth
A critical aspect of beauty that is often overlooked is dental hygiene. Your smile can be one of your most attractive features, so don’t neglect your teeth!
Regular cleaning and flossing not only keep your teeth and gums healthy, but they also prevent bad breath – a definite beauty faux pas. Remember to replace your toothbrush every three months. Electric toothbrushes deliver a more thorough cleaning so certainly worth the investment.
Regular visits to the dentist help catch any potential issues early and can provide professional cleanings that you just can’t get at home. A bright smile goes a long way in enhancing your overall appearance. So, make dental care a non-negotiable part of your beauty routine!
These timeless beauty tips, including our unconventional cold showers tip, are tried and tested methods for maintaining and enhancing natural beauty. Incorporating these habits into your daily routine can help you look and feel your best. Remember, beauty comes from within, so take care of your body, stay positive, and let your inner beauty shine through.

Every winter, I find myself dreading the same thing: not the icy roads or even the early sunsets, but my winter hair. It’s a battle I’ve been fighting for years. As a woman in her mid-50s with thinning hair and a bit too much fallout, winter is a season that’s particularly tough on my tresses.
Static electricity and my favorite winter hats leave it flat and lifeless, and the dryness… oh, the dryness! My once vibrant summer locks become as parched as fallen leaves, losing their shine and softness.
But over the years, I’ve learned that winter doesn’t have to be a hair nightmare. With some simple adjustments to my hair care routine, I’ve managed to keep my hair looking and feeling healthy despite the harsh weather.
Nine tried-and-tested tips for nourishing your hair during the chilly season:
1. Stay Hydrated
Just like your body, your hair craves hydration in winter. Drinking plenty of water daily helps maintain your hair’s moisture levels, keeping it healthy and resilient against the cold.
2. Choose Gentle Shampoos
Switching to a moisturizing shampoo can make a world of difference. Choose sulfate-free versions that won’t rob your hair of its natural oils, and try not to wash your hair too frequently to prevent dryness.
3. Embrace Deep Conditioning Treatments
These are a lifesaver for winter hair. Whether you prefer store-bought conditioners or natural remedies like coconut oil masks, these treatments provide an extra moisture boost your hair will thank you for.
4. Try Protective Styling
Winter winds can wreak havoc on your hair, causing breakage and split ends. Protect your locks by wearing them in braids, twists, or updos. These styles also prevent tangling and further damage.
5. Limit Heat Styling
While reaching for the hair dryer or straightener on a cold morning is tempting, try to embrace your natural texture whenever possible. If you must use heat, remember to apply a heat protectant first.
6. Get Regular Trims
This helps to keep those dry, split ends in check. Aim for a trim every 6-8 weeks to keep your hair looking fresh and healthy.
7. Tame Static
A small amount of hair oil or a leave-in conditioner can work wonders in controlling static-induced frizz. You should also switch to satin or silk pillowcases – they’re gentler on your hair and can help reduce static.
8. Consider Biotin and Zinc Supplements
These nutrients are key for maintaining healthy hair. They can be particularly beneficial when your hair needs extra help staying vibrant and strong in winter.
9.Add Essential Omega-3s
These fatty acids are essential for a healthy scalp and hair growth. Adding a quality omega-3 like Stonehenge Health Dynamic Krill Oil to your routine can help combat winter dryness from within and soothe a dry or irritated scalp.*
Remember, every head of hair is unique, and what works for me may not work for everyone. But by trying these tips, you might find your own winter hair care routine that keeps your locks luscious all season long. Happy winter, everyone!
