so we're going to talk about why cod
liver oil
can help someone with eczema now what is
this skin condition
it's a condition where you have this red
scaly flaky
rash on your skin it's another name for
this condition being
atopic dermatitis and then you have
psoriasis which is in the same family
they're all related but let's talk about
why
cod liver oil is one of the best
remedies
for pretty much any skin problem you
have
fish oils are high in omega-3 fatty
acids we're talking about dha and epa
but cod liver oil has two additional
things
vitamin a and vitamin d so if we start
with vitamin a deficiencies one of the
symptoms is
follicular hyperkeratosis now what is
that
that's a condition where you have these
little red or brown dots by your hair
follicles it could be on your arm
or your back and let me just flash the
picture up so you can see what that
looks like i just want to show you the
relationship between a vitamin a
deficiency
and what it can do for your skin there's
another condition
called cirrhosis also it looks like a
very dried out
skin appearance with these little
wrinkles around these scales
vitamin a has everything to do with skin
integrity and then we get vitamin d now
psoriasis has this appearance as well
with some more plaquing but psoriasis is
an autoimmune
condition and vitamin d is the best
remedy for
any autoimmune condition now why because
vitamin d is an anti-inflammatory
it acts like cortisol in the body
without the side effects
and cortisol is an anti-inflammatory
it's used in a lot of skin issues
vitamin d in higher amounts is really
good for psoriasis and pretty much any
type of dermatitis
including this right here atopic
dermatitis which basically
is eczema right there cod liver oil has
vitamin a
and vitamin d and cod liver oil has
omega-3 fatty acids
dha and epa these are
part of essential fatty acids
and if you look up essential fatty acid
deficiency guess what one of the big
symptoms
is dermatitis which is scaly
dry skin by taking cod of oil you have
the combination of omega-3
dha and epa you have vitamin d and
vitamin a all in one if you're going to
take cod liver oil
it's very very important to reduce your
omega-6 fatty acids
if you're not familiar with what these
are
i put a link down below but it's merely
a matter of increasing the omega-3
and decreasing the omega-6 for your skin
and i want to bring up one point about a
lot of people that do
keto they focus on these fats right here
coconut oil
and butter in their diet and cooking
which is great
and hopefully they're reducing the other
oils even safflower oil or sunflower oil
and
the other cooking oils but here's the
thing coconut oil
has zero omega-3 fatty acids
and butter has only tiny tiny
traces of omega-3 fatty acids so
you're not going to get your omega-3
from coconut
or butter you're going to have to get it
from fish
sardines like salmon or just cod liver oil
and lastly i put a little information
about cod liver oil down below
