One A Day Cod Liver Oil Capsules 90x1000mg

Benefits of Cod Liver Oil

Cod Liver Oil has long been a traditional remedy for problems associated with joints as it is thought to lubricate them therefore reducing the friction that causes the pain and inflammation.
Cod Liver Oil is beneficial for the heart and circulation. Blood flow may be aided by EPA and DHA, discouraging blood platelets from sticking together.
Cod Liver Oil may help reduce Blood Pressure.
The risk of Coronary Heart Disease may be reduced if Cod Liver Oil is taken regularly. Research has shown that it reduces the likelihood of blood clotting, makes the heart less prone to arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats). It alters the balance of blood fats in a favourable way and reduces the viscosity of blood, thereby facilitating blood flow.
Cod liver oil is a natural source of vitamins A and D. Vitamin A, is beneficial for skin and mucous membranes as well as night vision. Vitamin D is required for healthy bones and teeth, especially in children and the elderly
Studies have shown that the elongated omega-3 fatty acids in cod liver oil improve brain function, stress response, allergies, memory and learning and many behavioural disorders.
Improvements in the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis have been reported in patients taking fish oil supplements.
Omega 3 fatty acids are important for the brain development of unborn children

Ratio of Omega 6:3

Everybody needs to take in both Omega 3 & Omega 6 fatty acids. They are called the essential fatty acids because you cannot make them in your body and must get them from your food.
For most of the time humans have been on earth we have eaten foods containing omega-6's and omega-3's in a ratio of about 2:1. However, over the last 50 years the ratio has changed to from 2:1 to 6:1 and up to 20:1 in North America. Our diet now includes huge amounts of oils that are extracted from plants and used for cooking or in prepared foods. These oils (such as corn oil, safflower oil, cottonseed oil, peanut oil, soybean oil) are primarily omega-6s. We have decreased our intake of omega-3's, found primarily in sea food, whole grains, beans and other seeds.
Eating too much omega-6 and too little omega-3 causes clots and constricts arteries to increase risk for heart attacks, increases swelling to worsen arthritis, and aggravates a skin disease called psoriasis. It may block a person's ability to respond to insulin, causing high insulin and blood sugar levels and obesity. It increases hormone levels of insulin like growth factor-1 that causes certain cancers.
To get your ratio on omega-6s to omega-3s back to a more healthful 2:1, eat seafood, whole grains, beans and other seeds, and reduce your intake of foods made with or cooked in vegetable oils and in addition take an Omega 3 supplement such as Truly Natural "One A Day" Cod Liver Oil Capsules.
