I just wanted to write a short post today to mention how much I LOVE cod liver oil — especially during the wintertime. In my opinion, it is the BEST way of getting your vitamin D during the winter months when sunlight is sparse and we are all surely deficient in D if we aren’t taking a supplement. And cod liver oil is not the kind of supplement that you take and simply don’t notice anything. Most people notice a HUGE difference when they start supplementing with a tablespoon of cod liver oil each day — everything from improved skin complexion and heightened mood to pain elimination and improved vigor. Here are a few more benefits:
- Improves brain function
- Reduces inflammation
- Normalizes blood pressure
- Improves insulin sensitivity
- Stops sugar cravings
- Prevents colds and treats lingering coughs
- Decreases size of atheromas lining arterial walls
- Reduces risk of stroke
- Provides safe and absorbable forms of vitamin A and D
- Alleviates depression and bipolar disorder
- Prevents osteoporosis and improves bone mineral density
- Reduces pain in damaged or inflamed joints
- Prevents type 1 diabetes
- Improves memory and learning disorders
- Protects the eyes and prevents glaucoma
- Prevents cancer (especially skin cancer, lung cancer, and leukemia)
- Improves overall health and appearance
- Provides a healthy glow to the skin
- Rebuilds tooth enamel and heals tooth decay
If you’re looking for a cod liver oil that doesn’t taste bad or produce fish burps, you can get it here. This one is also free of heavy metals, radiation, and xenoestrogens, and is regularly tested by a third party.
