Omega-3: The Good Oil!
Omega-3 fatty acids hit the headlines in the 1970s, when studies were taken on the Inuit Eskimos of Greenland.

While these nutrients are essential for our well-being, we are unable to produce them and must get them through our diet. The ‘good fat’, Omega-3, is found in seafood and some plants.

I blame it on the change of weather, and probably stronger shampoo concentration, but whichever the reason, dandruff is a problem so common that it can affect anyone. It is usually encountered from young adulthood until middle age. People who have oily hair and scalp are prone to dandruff.
