11. Cod Liver Oil
Cod liver oil is another good choice for oil pulling, and it’s also great for ingestion in people dealing with coxsackievirus infection. Cod liver oil is high in vitamins, and it’s a great source of Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Omega-3 EFAs help to reduce inflammation in the digestive system.
Since 60% of your immune system resides in the GI tract, reducing inflammation in the gut helps to improve immune function, helps your body overcome the effects o the virus faster. Cod liver oil also has antimicrobial properties, allowing you to decontaminate your system from the impact of the disease.
It’s always better to consume the raw oil itself. However, it’s temperature-sensitive, and exposure to room temperature for too long can make the oil go rancid. Some kids may also protest about the taste of the oil. If that’s the case, you can purchase it in soft gel capsules without any aftertaste.
