The Health Boost Tip
Cod are salt water fish that live best in deep artic-temperature waters. It's an excellent source of protein, selenium and vitamin B12. In addition cod is a very good source of vitamins B6 and D, niacin and phosphorus. Fish, particularly cold-water fish, have been shown to be very beneficial for protecting against heart disease, Alzheimer's and many forms of cancer.
