In order to lose weight we need to add healthy fat to our diets. You may have herd bad things about fats in the past, but not all saturated fats are created equal.
Medical experts agree that we should be getting 30 percent of our daily nutrition from oil and fat. Saturated fats have gotten a bad rap in recent years, however what the media doesn't tell you is that all saturated fat is not the same.
Today I want to tell you about an oil that you should add to your diet if you want to lose weight. Not only does it help you slim down, it also has amazing health benefits such as aiding in fighting heart disease, hypertension, thyroid disease, and it even kills germs.
Coconut Oil:
Coconut oil has been used in tropical cultures for thousands of year as a weight-loss aid and normal part of everyday life.
Coconut oil is different from other oils because of it's medium chain-fatty acids which increase metabolism, improve digestion and help maintain the immune system.
Coconut Oil has less calories than other fats and the body burns it differently.
Coconut oil lowers cholesterol, gives you increased energy, and gets your body into fat-burning mode for the rest of the day!
Virgin coconut oil can be added to your everyday meals. Make sure to buy organic virgin coconut oil. Do not buy any oil that is hydrogenated, bleached, refined or deodorized.
Coconut Oil also has some incredible anti-aging benefits. It is good for your hair, skin, nails and waistline!
It can also be taken topically as a lotion or moisturizer. Coconut oil moisturizes your skin, protects against sun damage and free radicals, promotes healing, and gives skin that natural, youthful glow.
It improves digestion, promotes weight loss and helps keep skin and hair looking young and healthy.
Coconut Oil Tips:
Add Coconut Oil to every meal. Do you cook? Replace your vegetable oil with coconut oil. Drink tea? Add a spoonful of coconut oil to your hot tea. Anything hot that you cook or prepare, you can dissolve a little coconut oil in the pan. Add it to your soups for a winter treat!
You can even use coconut oil as your daily lotion and as a deep conditioner for your hair once a week. Coconut Oil protects your hair and skin from sun damage and acts as a natural moisturizer for dry skin.
