Reading an article from a book, I found this info. And thought it was important to share with all of you guys.. Today we understand scientifically that fish and cod liver oil:

• Thin the blood
• Protect the arteries from damage
• Inhibit blood clots (antithrombotic)
• Reduce blood triglycerides
• Lower LDL blood cholesterol
• Lower blood pressure
• Reduce risk of heart attack and stroke
• Ease symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis
• Reduce risk of lupus
• Relieve migraine headaches
• Fight inflammation
• Help regulate the immune system
• Inhibit cancer in animal (and possibly humans)
• Soothe bronchial asthma
• Combat early kidney disease

Much of the healing powers of fish reside in the omega-3 fatty acids

that are particularly highly concentrated in cold-water fish such as

salmon, sardines, bluefish, herring, lake trout, mackerel, sablefish,

white fish, bluefin tuna and anchovies, as well as in cod liver oil.
