Remember how I mentioned that Seattle's damp climate was one of the things that was hardest for me to get used to? Well it was hard for my immune system to get used to as well which explains my hiatus from blogging. Basically after a few weeks of battling what I thought was an epic cold, I found out I have an allergy to mold that happens to be growing in my house.... yikes! Thankfully I have a great staff of Naturopathic Doctors at the Bastyr clinic working on my case and I should be good to go. I'm back on board the blogging train and ready to share all that I've been learning these last few weeks.
The first thing I'd like to share is one of the amazing sources of anti-inflammatory omega 3, vitamin D and vitamin A I researched and found to be amazing.... COD LIVER OIL. I couldn't speak more highly of how much better I felt as soon as I started supplementing with it, AND my worries about not getting enough vitamin D living in Seattle are no more. Weston A. Price, a very reputable health source has some great research backing his claim that cod liver oil should be consumed everyday. Check out the following article: http://www.westonaprice.org/cod-liver-oil/clo-number-one-superfood
Are you supplementing with a fish oil? If not you might want to consider cod liver oil. This is the company I purchased mine from (http://www.greenpasture.org/public/Home/index.cfm) because it is not processed so the levels of D and A are the highest but you can simply grab some at whole foods. *warning* a bit of juice is needed to get it down but the benefits your body will reap from the icky taste will most definitely be worth it!: )
