7. Better heart health
Strokes and heart attacks are the number one killer worldwide. Scientists found years ago that eating plenty of fish can significantly reduce the risk of some heart diseases. Apparently, it is the omega-3 content of fish that is linked to curing unhealthy hearts. Eating more omega-3s helps control blood pressure and increases «good» cholesterol (HDL) levels.
8. Reducing inflammation
Inflammation is the cause of many health problems, including metabolic syndrome. People suffering from metabolic syndrome – a set of conditions that include obesity and insulin resistance – need to increase their omega-3 intake. More cod liver oil in the diet will help the body to both produce and use insulin and also fight inflammation caused by metabolic syndrome.
