Cod Liver Oil

When I was younger, I woke up every morning to three things: Hot 97 morning show with Ed, Lisa and Dre; a cup of juice; and COD LIVER OIL. I remember it clearly my mother standing there with the spoon in hand and a stern voice saying swallow it and I better not spill it. YUCK!!! Just the thought of how terrible it tasted makes me shiver. I made a promise that I would NEVER make my children suffer through taking this nonsense!

WELL NEVER SAY NEVER is a great phrase. LOL. I now find myself reading up and trying to purchase Cod Liver Oil for Jade. And I understand why my mother was so adamant about it. Jade started school last week and the first thing I noticed was the snotty nose little boy who coughed all over the place and wanted Jade to sit next to him. YUCK! I also realized I can not afford to take off work in the next few weeks to stay home and nurse my child back to health. So now I am searching for methods on keeping her immune system strong and the first thing that popped into my mind was COD LIVER OIL.

So now I am looking at the pro's and cons of giving it to Jade and where can it be purchased. This is what I have found:

It is one of the most reliable and concentrated food sources of four nutrients that are essential to human health: DHA, EPA, vitamin A, and vitamin D. These four nutrients are needed for:
  • Healthy skin

  • Strong bones and teeth

  • Healthy joints

  • A healthy cardiovascular system

  • A healthy nervous system and prevention of depression and other mood disorders

  • A healthy digestive tract

Research has also shown that consuming 1-2 teaspoons of cod liver oil daily can help to prevent serious diseases such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, musculoskeletal pain, kidney problems, and high cholesterol.
So I guess my mom was right (I never thought I would say that LOL) and I'm now off to Kmart on my lunch break to pick up a bottle!

Whats your thoughts or home remedies?
