Creamy Potato Cod and herb dish!

Cod is an easy fish to work with as it seems to absorb most flavors that are added to it while baking in the oven. A great source of phosphorous and potassium add cod to your dietary plan twice a week.

Phosphorous is a mineral that bones and teeth need; it is a contributing factor to how carbohydrates and fats are used, how energy is stored, and how protein is made for growth, maintenance and cellular reparation.

While potassium is important for contributing to electrolyte balance flushing excess sodium from the body.  Low potassium is associated with high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, arthritis, cancer, digestive disorders and infertility.  Additional dietary intake of 4 fruits and 5 vegetables a day provides our bodies with the vitamins and minerals needed to keep us healthy and strong.
