There are many ways to care for our furry feline friends. It is no surprise that affection and a healthy diet can contribute to the longevity of our precious pets. However, as much as we want to pamper our loved ones, treats can negatively contribute to the lifespan of a cat. Finding healthy treats is not always easy. Luckily, there are tons of options to keep our little companions out of the vet’s office. Here are a few options for keeping your cat healthy while still treating them with the love and praise they deserve: 1. Gluten free cat treats Did you know that as the level of gluten in your cat’s diet increases so does the chance of them developing obesity, insulin resistance or diabetes? A grain-free diet brings cats closer to their ancestors by eliminating all the processed mumbo jumbo in treats that didn’t exist back in the day when cats lived in the wild. There are “litter-ally” tons of grain-free options in this day and age and, by eliminating grain and artificial preservatives, you can still supply your kitty with the food they need, like their ancestors before them. 2. Weight control cat treats Having a chubby kitty can be cute, yes, but obesity can shorten the lives of our cats tremendously.

As we move through life, our aging skin begins to accept the cruel facts of time and gravity, but we seldom realize that acne, crow’s feet, fine lines, and uneven pigmentation can actually be related to our diet. The sun’s rays and our environment play a part in skin degradation, but the enzyme and nutrient cycle in our bodies can also wreak havoc on our epidermis. Thankfully, there is a wide range of superfoods that can restore and protect our skin, such as: 1. The restorative power of omega-3 fatty acids  What if there was a naturally occurring substance that could protect your skin from the sun’s aging rays? Omega-3 fatty acids are commonly found in fish and provide regeneration and protection to the skin by utilizing the oil-producing effects of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). EPA’s mechanism of skin protection involves a blocking agent that limits the enzymes released by UV rays that specifically target our collagen reserves. As a form of natural sunscreen, omega-3’s provide protection from the most lethal cause of skin aging and also produce regenerative, anti-inflammatory effects in previously damaged skin. 2. An avocado a day, keeps the wrinkles at bay Avocados are also an excellent way to get omega-3 fatty acids into your diet and they taste delicious in the process.

The skin around the eyes get wrinkles, which create crow’s feet on the side of the eye. Here are some important facts about aging skin and using anti-aging skincare: 1.
