Why Use Extra Virgin Coconut Oil?
Great Organic Coconut Oil
Let’s talk a bit about why it is important to choose extra virgin coconut oil instead of refined or processed coconut oils. Logic probably tells you it would be better to choose a food product that is less refined or extra virgin over products that have been refined or processed.
Using Coconut Oil to Combat Candida
Organic Coconut Oil and Supplements
Welcome! Let’s talk about one ailment that is already causing many of us to suffer needlessly called Candida Albicans (I’ll just refer to it as “Candida”), otherwise known as yeast or fungus. This potentially harmful substance is found lurking in our digestive tract. The good news is if you are relatively healthy, then it shouldn’t pose a problem since the “good bacteria” keep it in check. Ready for the bad news? The bad news is that the good, infection-fighting bacteria can be wiped out by things such as prescription meds, antibiotics, birth control pills, unhealthy diet and even stress!

Sadly, coconut oil and other saturated fats have been labeled as the cause of high cholesterol, clogging the arteries and other negative things.

Rather, people who live in the tropics and consume lots of coconut and palm oils have about the lowest incidence of heart disease in the world!

I have thought for years that high fat diets were bad, but it just depends on the KIND of fat you take in and this kind of fat is a natural diet. Then, after I started reading and studying about the coconut oil miracle food, it started to make more sense and seemed more logical.

Weight Loss and Coconut Oil
Losing Weight with Organic Coconut Oil
Wouldn’t it be great if you could enjoy fat in your diet and have it actually be GOOD for you, plus helping you to lose weight? There are so many benefits to adding coconut oil into your daily diet. I must admit, it was hard for me to grasp that idea for awhile. After all, whenever I’d pick up a magazine or watch TV, I would see or hear that low fat was the way to lose weight! However, over two-thirds of the American population is considered to be overweight or obese, so obviously low-fat is not the way to go!
Healthy Weight Loss Using Coconut Oil
Coconut Oil for Your Health & Beauty
If you want to shed some stubborn pounds, coconut oil may be of help to you. The food industry has been pounding into our heads for years that low fat = weight loss, but this is simply not true. Have you taken a trip to the mall lately (or anywhere) and noticed the number of overweight people? How many of them have probably tried the no or low-fat diet and found it didn’t work? I know I have. If you deprive yourselves of GOOD fats in your diet, it is a recipe for trouble. [Read the rest of this entry...]
