I'm pregnant this spring and obviously won't be taking the occasional claritin that I'd normally use. If I'm going to start with the pollen, it's time to get on it!

]]> Comment on Cod liver oil by Denise http://www.greensmoothiegirl.com/blog/2010/02/25/cod-liver-oil/comment-page-1/#comment-17032 Denise Thu, 18 Mar 2010 20:07:23 +0000 http://www.greensmoothiegirl.com/blog/2010/02/25/cod-liver-oil/#comment-17032 From what I have heard from both Dr. Oz and Dr. Asa cod liver is one of the best ways to get your vitamin D. I have tried fish oil in the past and hated the nasty taste that came with burping it later in the day. With cod liver oil I purchase a high quality brand flavored with orange. I was really dreading downing my first spoon of it. I was so suprised at the at taste... it was not bad or fishy tasting at all. It was like a bland, tasteless cooking oil with a hint of orange. Cod liver oil is also your best best for supplementing your omega-3s. I used to do just flaxseed oil but then I learned that it must go through a 2 step process in order to be used by your body. The liver must first convert it to alpha linoleic acid before the body can use it as and omega-3 thus you only absorb 15-20% of it. Whereas cod liver oil requires no conversion by your body to be able to use it as an omega-3.

I'm intrigued. Absolutely so..... I've been diagnosed with adult onset asthma about 2 years ago, am 35+ # overweight and am so eager to try this.... I'm thinking about going to and buying one of those mixers and giving it a whirl....no pun intended... I've been working out consistently, altered my diet a lot, but this might be what I NEED.

I went to one of those St. Patrick parade with my kids. It was fun to see them marching, waving flags and having a good time. But that day the young people were drinking too to much beer! For they bad behavior the next day the Central Park was declared a disaster zone. My daughter Edna marry a Long Island boy, a descendant of an Irish father. Even the priest was Irish. There I meet a lot of Irish people! My daughter and hubby went Ireland twice, and she says the country is lovely. Barnard Huges, an Irish actor was my customer. One day he treated me to see his one man show "Dad". Wonderful acting! He really was a fine person. Just when my son and I were sitting at the subway going to the show, two ladies entered the train saying hello to everybody. Wired for NY! When we’re sitting at the theater… these two same ladies (Irish I guess) were sitting in front of us. Go figure! Naaaah! They behaved well. So Robin... keep loving the Irish people, and the green color in smoothies. Robin, when I was living in Manhattan, NY years back. I went to one of those St. Patrick parade with my kids.
