What would you prefer when you have to improve your memory power, some artificial medical supplement or almonds in the morning?

You may have heard about many weird diseases and equally weird remedies. The olden times were filled with stories of magic and witch craft that depicted faith in magic and cure for many diseases with ingredients that cannot even be accounted as ingredients. This idea further shaped the society to give way to the creation of household remedies in their day to day lives to tackle mild illness. This was taken further by the senior members in the family that had wide knowledge about the most basic kitchen ingredients which could be used to cure certain diseases that may occur in everyday life. But this rich tradition that could be observed in old families was eliminated in the modern period with the advancements in science and development of technology. The modern day families have shifted their priorities accordingly with their way of living life. Their concerns and mentality towards a happy life has also changed in a major sense. The family tradition to provide a patient in the family with natural remedies initially has gradually been removed from the face of life. Everything from the point of identifying the disease to curing them is now perpetually based on the doctor’s knowledge in the subject. The simplest form of disease like cough and cold is now taken to a clinic which is then treated with pharmaceutical medicines, as per doctor’s advice. The same cure could have been made possible with some age old natural remedy that came out of a grandmother’s mind. And maybe, this remedy would have been proved to be far more effective than the medicines and could have taken less time to cure the person. But unfortunately the most basic remedy like eating almonds in the morning to improve memory power is substituted by pharmaceutical supplements that apparently promise to be able to make things better and faster. But as the saying goes that ‘Every coin has two sides’, maybe the modern times also brought along some effective substitutes for the original traditional remedies that can really make a difference. The known facts the cod liver oil makes it one of the few natural supplements that can benefit the human body in a major way. This fish oil is extracted from the livers of a cold water fish called ‘cod’ that feeds on nutritional aquatic animals that are rich in vitamins. Hence, the use of this oil provides the human body with some of the basic necessary nutrients. The cod liver oil is found to be a rich source of omega 3 fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin D and other essential elements that help the human body stay healthy. The introduction of this fish oil in the daily diet can reap additional benefits. Due to its rich nutritional content, this oil is manufactured in small gelatin capsules which are used by mothers all over the globe for their children. Infusing these capsules in your diet and making it a habit since childhood, keeps the body immune from diseases and protects the person by providing inner strength. Hence, we can conclude that even if the family tradition of household remedies is almost forgotten, there are modern methods that can replace these methods for families.
