Benefits of Fish Oil

Mummy had introduced fish oil to me many, many months back. She gave me 7 Seas Multivitamin with cod liver oil (by Merck) http://www.merck.com.my/en/pharmaceuticals/consumer_health_care/childrens_health/childrens_health.html)
but I really didn't like it very much.

However, when Khong-Khong gave me Scott's Emulsion orange-flavored cod liver oil (by GSK) http://www.gsk.com/products/consumer-healthcare/scotsemulsion.htm I was quite ok with it. Perhaps it was the feeding session where everyone (Khor-Khor Ethan, Princess Cheh-cheh and Ling Girl Cheh-cheh) had to line up for it makes it very fun ... heh, heh, heh, Khong-khong can be quite regimental.
I am told that oily fish is a good source of omega 3 fats, which is good for the body. Essential fatty acids from fish oil are rich in the nutrients essential for optimum brain and eye development, and many toddlers do not get enough of them in our diets. There has been much publicity about the properties of essential fatty acids and they are claimed to improve intelligence, memory, coordination and concentration skills in schoolchildren.

Here are some interesting articles to back up the benefits of fish oil:


So have you taken your fish oil today ?
