This month we are running a special on Vitamin D in the form of Arctic-D Cod Liver oil or Essential D3. Vitamin D is now commonly recognized to be vital to healthy mood and proper formation of bone tissue, but there is so much more to this amazing vitamin! Below is a link to an excellent article on the subject, complete with a list of food sources of vitamin D. Enjoy!
You can feel Fall coming just around the corner here in Iowa. It’s warmer today but there’s something in the air that makes me want to stay inside and cook beef stew and apple pie. In fact, I made a gluten free apple pie last night (Why gluten free? Because I was out of regular flour and wanted to bake a pie!), but that recipe will have to come in a later blog.
The purpose of this blog is to point you toward two articles I found about cod liver oil and its benefits. I think cod liver oil should be a staple during the cooler months, especially for those people who are prone to seasonal affective disorder. Both of these articles do a great job of outlining the importance of cod liver oil, and also the benefits of larger amounts of Vitamin D, such as are found in the Arctic D cod liver oil that Marilyn Farms offers. I promise the taste isn’t bad either! If you really can’t stand even the slightest hint of fish flavor then try finding an encapsulated cod liver oil supplement, and take it with or before meals instead of on an empty stomach to prevent any fishy aftertaste.
