Getting a daily spoonful of cod liver oil

When I was younger, I remember my Mother telling me stories how she used to take cod liver oil when she was a child. At the time, I remember asking, "Why would anyone want to swallow oil made from fish livers?"

Nowadays, many people know why this marine oil is good for your health. First of all, it's packed with good-for-you omega 3 fatty acids. And did you know this healthy oil has more vitamin A and D per weight than any other food on the planet? Here you'll find more ways you can benefit from this healthy marine oil.

Health Benefits of Cod Liver Oil

Before fish oils and flaxseed oil, cod oil was one of the first healthy oils used in many kitchens around the world. While it may not be as popular as it once was, there are reasons why many Mothers chose to give this nutritional supplement to their kids on a daily basis.

It's a great source of omega 3 fatty acids:

• These healthy fats are important for healthy development of your brain and nervous system.
• Omega 3 fatty acids may help decreases your risk of blood clots.
• May help regulate your blood pressure.
• May help your body fight against infections.
• Reduces your risk for heart attacks and strokes.

A natural source of Vitamin D and Vitamin A

• Vitamin D is an important nutrient needed in everyone's diet. Vitamin D not only builds strong bones, it may also help fight off Multiple Sclerosis, cancer and boost your immune system.
• Vitamin A helps your eyes adjust to different light conditions (night vision). This nutrient keep your eyes & skin moist and supple; it also helps fight infections by keeping your mucous membranes moist (like in your nose), trapping germs before they enter your body.
