I have a zoo living in my house. From dogs, to cats, to birds, to guinea pigs, and children. Our carpets hold a lot of dirt that we cannot even see. I guess that is another reason why so many people have allergies. It is so important the air in our homes are clean, as well as our carpets. We must keep in mind though, when we clean our carpets, the type of cleaner we use. There is no need to spend our money on chemicals when we can use the natural products out there.

I know your sitting there thinking, oh no, not Cod Liver Oil. That stuff tastes horrible. Well our grandmothers and great grandmothers knew what they were doing all those years ago. We all have good intentions trying to eat well, and make sure our bodies get the right vitamins. If you live in a colder climate, or just don’t get outside enough, then you really need to look into another way of getting your vitamin D. If you are like many of us, winter time brings on depression, and just a feeling of not feeling healthy. Our bodies are really lacking vitamin D, which we get from the sun. Cod Liver Oil is a healthy supplement, that even tastes better then it ever has. They now sell it with lemon added.
