Cod Liver Oil
There is not much to be said about fish oil that has not been talked about before. Everyone knows that is tastes bad, but it is good for you. I used to give it to my kids daily but never took it myself leading them to grow up to be super humans in both genders. All fish oil is said to be equal yet recently it has been discovered that some are better than others.
Fish oil is extracted from the tissue of the fatter and darker oil rich fish, such as tuna, salmon, cod, herring, sardines, and mackerel. Cod liver oil has Vitamin A and Vitamin D as well as Omega 3 fats. These are essential for a healthy body and mind, especially for individuals that fail to get enough natural sunshine.
Fish oils contain polyunsaturated fat called Omega 3 fatty acids, which the body needs yet does not produce naturally. Some people feel that if God mean for humans to have the fatty acids that He would have made us fish instead of human. Overlooking this fact, there are three types of Omega 3 fatty acids: a-Linolenic Acid called ALA, Docosaheaenoic Acid called DHA, and Eicosapentaenoic Acid called ELA. These are the good types of fish oil.
