COCONUT oil

I absolutely adore Raw Cold Pressed Organic Coconut Oil.
I love the taste, the smell and all its amazing health benefits! It’s a true Super Food!

Coconut oil is a saturated fat made out of medium chain triglycerides.
It’s metabolised in a different way to other fats, It’s basically transported straight to the liver where it’s turned into energy.
The body burns the coconut oil in the same way as it burns carbohydrates and it’s not heading straight for the fat cells like other fats.

It helps stimulate and raise your metabolism and boost your thyroid activity, you will also feel full for longer, so a win win on the keeping lean front :)

But the benefits don’t stop there!

Coconut oil raises the good cholesterol (HDL) and lowers the bad one (LDL).
It’s helps to protect your liver from toxins.
It’s anti viral and anti fungal, (you can use it both topically and eat it for conditions like herpes and nail fungus).
And since it is a saturated oil it has a high smoke point, meaning you can fry in it without causing damage to the oil.

there’s more….

It’s an excellent moisturizer for your body and a great hair treatment, super efficient and super cheap!

Hi,

This is day one of mn fast. It’s going OK.
But I’m NOT looking forward to cook dinner for the the family, when I’m only allowed a measly vegetable broth.
And will have to stop myself from going on Pinterest, way to many gorgous pictures of yummy food.
Now back to Jewel Mania on the Ipad and maybe a snooze.

Will post another video tomorrow.

You can eat the healthiest diet ever, but if your digestion is weak, you won’t be able to absorb the nutrients.

One thing that has really helped me is sipping Ginger Tea with meals.

Ginger stimulates the digestion system making if more alert and efficient by speeding up the circulation and getting the bile juices flowing.
Ginger is also used for travel sickness, morning sickness, gas, cold hands and feet and hiccups, the list goes on…

At the moment my favorite is Pukka’s Three Ginger with organic ginger, galangal and golden turmeric.
I take it with a tiny speck of Stevia (from a herbalist).
I love to eat raw, cold salads for lunch and the ginger tea keeps me warm and cosy when it’s freezing cold outside.

(Now I’m off for an enema lecture!!
I’m doing a juice and broth fast starting Friday, feeling slightly err  (VERY!!!) apprehensive)

Love Lisa
