5 Health Benefits of Cod Liver Oil
by Nadine Masseron ND
There are many reasons why your health can benefit from taking the good old-fashioned remedy Cod Liver Oil. Here are my 5 top reasons you should consider it as part of your supplement program.
1. Omega-3 fatty acids
Cod Liver Oil is a great source of the essential Omega-3 fatty acids. Scientific studies have shown that Omega-3 fatty acids can be beneficial in treating heart disease, ADD, arthritis, colitis and many other inflammatory conditions.
2. Vitamin A
Cod Liver Oil is an excellent source of Vitamin A, a powerful anti-oxidant (anti-aging). Amongst other things Vitamin A is needed for normal cell reproduction; it is required for good eyesight and reproductive health. Vitamin A is essential for healthy skin and useful in treating acne. Vitamin A is good for strengthening mucous membranes, especially in the lungs.
3. Vitamin D
Cod Liver Oil is a good source of Vitamin D, which is mainly obtained from sunlight. Vitamin D is needed to assist in the absorption of calcium and can assist in the prevention of conditions such as osteoporosis and rickets.
4. A Winter Tonic
Due to it's high content of the above nutrients Cod Liver Oil is a great winter tonic and can assist in the prevention of winter ailments such as colds and coughs and especially respiratory conditions such as bronchitis.
5. Value for money
Compared to many other supplements, especially Omega-3 fish oil, Cod Liver Oil is relatively cheap. This makes it a great supplement for all the family. It can be conveniently taken in a one-a-day capsule to avoid the unpleasant taste (although some children actually like it!).
Extra Tip
Choose Cod Liver Oil that is sourced from non-toxic seas such as Norwegian Cod Liver Oil.
