The Benefits of Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is used for everything and anything!  The health benefits of coconut oil include skin care, hair care, stress relief, maintaining cholesterol levels, weight loss, increased immunity, proper digestion and metabolism, diabetes, HIV and cancer, and bone strength. There are Capric Acid and Lauric Acid in Coconut Oil. These are the same acids that are found in mother’s milk and keep the baby protected from infections.

Adding coconut oil to your diet:

• Increases your energy, balances hormones and stimulates the thyroid glandes 

It raises your metabolic rate, which helps release energy and promote weight loss.

• Coconut oil helps improve the digestive system and helps prevents problems

In other words, its like a cleaner. It just goes through your body and kills all the bad bacteria in there. Which brings me to my other point.

•  It strengthens the immune system! 

It helps fight off viruses and bacteria causing disease such as, influenza, herpes, even HIV!

• Helps prevent heart problems

• Helps to dissolve kidney stones

• Coconut oil helps control blood sugar, and improves the secretion of insulin

• "Preliminary research has shown indications of the effect of coconut oil on reducing the viral load of HIV patient"
• Coconut oil is often preferred by athletes and body builders, especially by those who are dieting. Helps in boosting energy and endurance, and enhances the performance of athletes.

Hair Care:

•  Promotes healthy hair growth as well as a shiny complexion. 

Its an excellent conditioner and helps with the regrowth of damaged hair!  

- After a shower, apply a tiny amount of coconut oil to your hair. Avoid the roots, just moisturize the ends. Wear in hair all day

Body Care:  

• Coconut oil is an AMAZING moisturizer!!! 

Even for reallyy dry skin! There is no chance of having any adverse side effects on the skin with the application of coconut oil. Coconut oil therefore is a safe solution for preventing dryness and flaking of skin.

•  It delays wrinkles and the sagging of skin. Which is good to know if your getting close to those 30's...

• Treat various skin problems including psoriasis, dermatitis, eczema and other skin infections

• Use it in your make up routine as a moisturizer

For me, I put a dime sized amount on my fingers. Rub it between my fingers to warm it up to make it liquidity, and I apply it to my face every night after I wash my face with my bare minerals face wash. And I apply it to my face every morning right before I start putting on my make up.

• Use it for treating acne

Coconut Oil is very effective in the treatment of Acne and cuts down inflammation.

• When applied on open cuts, it forms a chemical layer which protects the infected body part from external dust, air, fungi, bacteria and virus.

•  Coconut oil is most effective on bruises as it speeds up the healing process by repairing damaged tissues.

That's amazing!!!  ^

•   Coconut oil is very soothing and hence it helps in removing stress. Applying coconut oil to the head followed with a gentle massage helps in removing mental fatigue.

According to the Coconut Research Center, coconut oil kills viruses that cause influenza, measles, hepatitis, herpes, SARS, etc. It also kills bacteria that cause ulcers, throat infections, urinary tract infections, pneumonia, and gonorrhea, etc. Coconut oil is also effective on fungi and yeast that cause candidiasis, ringworm, athletes foot, thrush, diaper rash, etc.

How to use coconut oil:

 Most nutritionists recommend a daily dosage of three tablespoons.

 When cooking, coconut oil can be stirred into oatmeal, soups, and stews. For sauteing, heat coconut oil in a shallow pan for a few minutes and then add your favorite vegetables or use the hot oil to fry fish, potatoes, or chicken. Coconut oil can also be used in baking as a 1 to 1 replacement for butter or other oils. I suggest you heat the coconut oil first, and then measure the appropriate amount of oil called for by the recipe. Lastly, for those energy junkies, try coconut oil as an ingredient in your next fruit or protein smoothie.

You can choose to keep coconut oil in the refrigerator if you want it to stay a solid. If you don't, it will become a liquid if the room temperature is hot enough. Either way it wont spoil so it depends on your preference and what you're going to use it mainly for.

Buying your coconut oil

It has to be pure extra virgin coconut oil. It will say that on the label so just look for it. Look for it in the dietary aisle because its listed as a Dietary Supplement so if you don't feel like asking someone just go straight there lol Also getting an organic brand is always better when buying something so keep that in mind :) 
 

See-ya Cellulite

Caffeine, often a main ingredient in those pricey creams, can help minimize the appearance of cellulite. Before you put on the short shorts this summer, try this recipe for "See-ya Cellulite Wrap": take the warm grounds from your morning coffee, and mix them together with one tbsp. of olive oil. Next, rub the mixture over your thighs (also a great exfoliator) and then wrap the grounds-covered area of your thighs in plastic wrap. Let it sit for about 10 minutes, then rinse. (We recommend doing this in the shower, since it can get quite messy!)

Want to say bye-bye to that inner thigh fat??

Truly Beautiful

1 Peter 3:3-4

 "Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in Gods sight."

So many "pretty" people think they are beautiful...but in all reality, they aren't. It's hard to be truly beautiful in this messed up, ugly, crazy world! But i'm up for the challenge!! Anyone else? 

Weight loss, with-out working out

What does apple cider vinegar have that makes people want to drink it?  Well it has many vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, and very little fat and sodium. 'By taking a little apple cider vinegar before a meal, you can increase stomach acidity and thereby improve digestion and nutrient uptake.'

• it helps protect the body against damage caused by exposure to chemical toxins. 
• healthier bones and teeth.
• lowers blood pressure
• reduces joint pain and stiffness
• reduces the effects of sunburn
• When diluted with water 50/50 it is often used as a toner for the face.

• has been shown to reduce the pain or severity of sinus, allergy and asthma attacks.
• WEIGHT LOSS Apple Cider Vinegar helps to break down fats so that your body can use them rather than store them.

Yes thats right, weight loss !!! "It is generally believed that the nutrients, enzymes, and organic acids in apple cider vinegar cause weight reduction by acting as an appetite suppressant, by increasing your body's metabolic rate, by reducing water retention, and by helping you maintain a feeling of well being." D.C. Jarvis, M.D. "from numerous observations, he found that a woman of average height weighing 210 pounds will weigh 180 pounds after 2 years if she takes 2 teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water at each meal." 

All you have to do is:

"Take one or two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar in a glass of water before each meal.
Patricia Bragg recommends adding 1 or 2 teaspoons of raw honey to this mixture.

Whichever way you take it, don't expect a rapid weight loss, the weight will be lost gradually, as it should be to allow the body's fat cells to adjust to their new size." 

I've recently started to do this but instead of drinking it in a cup of water, i just drink straight from the spoon. I find it easier that way! and no you don't have to workout to see a the results but to see them faster, you're going to want to work out of course. If you hate working out, you can at least walk once a day, 3 times a week.
