When I was a kid, I really hated eating fish, and even more cod liver oil. I hated the taking that slimy liquid! However, when I actually got used to the stuff, it did not bother me again. It was only recently I knew why my parents forced me to take cod liver oil, it has been scientifically proven that Fish oil had a lot of health benefits! And now, I am so thankful that I they forced that slimy stuff!
Fish oil is taken from the fatty tissues of oil-rich fish such as cod, tuna, and slew of other types of fish. What makes fish oil beneficial to us, is the Omega 3 which is contained in fish oil. Omega 3 is a type of fatty acid that our body needs but cannot produce on its own. Some of the Fish oil benefits are it helps regulate our body’s cholesterol level, protects our heart from disease, fights certain types of cancers, promotes healing of injuries and illness, and many more. With so many health benefits, no wonder more and more people, such as myself, are taking fish oil supplements to become more healthy!
