1 jar with 100 benefits! Coconut OIL

It's been very chilly here on Long Island like 5 degree chilly and my skin is still silkier than ever! I want to share a little secret with HUUUUGE benefits! COCONUT OIL! 

My obsession began almost 2 years ago when I was in the process of losing some baby weight. I switched over to coconut oil to fry my egg whites, put a little on my cinnamon toast, or even in my smoothies. I use it to bake and cook with for the babies as well. It actually just makes everything a tiny bit sweeter. I know you're probably thinking "it's saturated in fat!"

"Several studies in the past few years have suggested that saturated fats may not raise the risk of heart disease like previously thought, however, and more and more research is showing that plant-based saturated fats may have a neutral (or even positive) effect on cholesterol as compared to animal-based saturated fat, and might offer other health benefits as well."

"What sets coconut oil apart from other fats is the fact that more than half of it is made up of medium chain fats, also referred to as medium chain triglyerides (MCTs).

Unlike other types of fats (which are mostly long chain fats), these MCTs are rapidly metabolized, meaning they're more easily burned as energy and less likely to be stored as fat. MCTs have also been shown to increase metabolism slightly, and help us feel fuller, faster." You can find out more about the science of it at http://www.nola.com/health/index.ssf/2013/04/coconut_oil_when_saturated_fat.html 

So with that being said my tummy was becoming more satisfied much sooner than ever before.

I then began to wonder if I could use it as a body moisturizer, it would absolutely cut costs for me. And i have this thing with mermaids so I imagine thats what they would use. My skin has never felt silkier. I put it under my eyes/lips and they glowed.  Then one day I used it in my hair. This was a little much to leave in but if you wash it out It works an amazing leave in conditioner. Some of my clients use it as a face wash. I highly recommend it for a dry skin type but THATS IT…otherwise it will definitely clog your pores. 

Coconut oil is also a perfect moisturizer for your pets paws and feels great in their hair.

OIL PULLING is yet another trick of this trade. You swoosh coconut oil in your mouth for 20 minutes every morning on an empty stomach and this pulls all the toxins out of your body as well as whitening your teeth. 

"Gingivitis results from the inflammation of the gums when our immune systems begin to attack bacteria that have accumulated in the plaque. So oil pulling would give us a double whammy against plaque buildup and the destruction of those bacteria. Another study showed good results with oil pulling in this regard as well."http://coconut-oil-pulling.com/

HOPE I TURNED YOU ON .......TO COCONUT OIL!
