How do you live your life in your fifties? Have you slowed down, started taking it easy? I haven’t, if anything I’m busier and more active than ever before and I’m sure you’re the same. Life throws up some new challenges as you get older and I want to make sure my body can keep up with everything I want to do. For the past two month’s I have been taking one Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil capsule every day. I tend to think of supplements as an insurance policy. I like to take them as a back up to a healthy diet and lifestyle and hope they are filling any gaps I might have left. I have learnt that Omega’s are essential to good health as you get older. And Michael Mosely proved in a recent episode of Trust Me I’m a Doctor, that fish oil supplements really do benefit your health.
For me personally I want to be sure that I keep my cholesterol levels down, something which has been linked to taking Cod Liver Oil It can also reduce the risk of osteoarthritis, something which might affect you as you get older. The benefits don’t stop there, in fact, Cod Liver Oil can help maintain healthy bones, heart, vision and brain. Of course, you need to take the supplement alongside a well-balanced diet and exercise to get the full benefit. Cod Liver Oil also contains Vitamin D which so many of us in the UK are lacking. This makes taking a supplement a very simple way of ensuring that my body has a readily available source of good fats feeding not only my body but also my brain. Cod Liver Oil is the perfect brain food.
I started the trial in the depths of winter, it was cold and miserable and I wanted to avoid having a cold as much as possible. My exercise was home based, HIIT routines, rather than running outside. I also wanted to be as agile as possible for my first ski trip in 16 years. It’s sometimes hard to know if a supplement is really working for you, as I mentioned we take them as insurance against future illness. But, I’m pleased to report that I did see some very welcome changes. The first was in my hair. Due to the length and colour, it’s easy to see how much hair I lose, I’m forever vacuuming the bathroom floor. While taking Cod Liver Oil I noticed that I lost less hair than usual. This was a really welcome benefit and not one I was expecting.
I stopped taking Collagen Shots two weeks before the trial so I was expecting my skin to feel drier and maybe less plump but it didn’t, it still felt well hydrated. After two month’s I also noticed that a persistent bruise on my knee from a fall had practically gone, this really did surprise me. I know that Cod Liver Oil has been linked to wound healing but I wasn’t sure it would be noticeable. There was also the peace of mind that I was taking a supplement that was working for my overall health.
During my ski trip, I didn’t have a single twinge or discomfort in my joints. I have in the past suffered with knee pain when running, but I haven’t experienced any since taking Seven Seas Cod Liver Oil and as the weather has improved I’m back to running outside.
My generation are breaking all the rules, we are working longer, living longer and feeling younger than our years. My birth certificate might say I am 56 but I don’t feel any older than I did 10 years ago. Seven Seas are helping us live our #TRUEAGE with their supplements and campaigns making us even more aware that age is just a number and it’s how you feel that counts.
