A Lotion, A Weight Loss Miracle, and A Cooking Oil???
Any guess as to what I’m talking about?
It’s only Coconut Oil, the most versatile oil on Earth! Earlier this week I mentioned the symptoms of a sluggish thyroid gland and how your thyroid could quite possibly be the reason you are battling the bulge.
Today I would like to let you in on my secret weapon for keeping my thyroid in check. It is actually quite simple really, I add pure organic Coconut Oil to everything!
How Can This, Help Your Thyroid?
Coconut oil is known to have “thermogenic” properties, which means it has the ability to raise your body’s temperature in turn raising your metabolism, helping that thyroid function better! So I suppose it’s true, not all fats make you fat.
Not only is Coconut oil ideal for aiding your thyroid function, it helps protect your skin from the aging effects of free radicals, and can help improve the appearance of skin with its anti-aging benefits.
In fact, physiologist and biochemist Ray Peat, Ph.D. considers coconut oil to be an antioxidant, due to its stability and resistance to oxidation and free radical formation. Plus, he feels it reduces our need for the antioxidant protection of vitamin E.
Like Dr. Peat, many experts believe coconut oil may help restore more youthful-looking skin. When coconut oil is absorbed into the skin and connective tissues, it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by helping to keep connective tissues strong and supple.
10 More Reasons to Add Coconut Oil to Your Diet:
- Promotes your heart health
- Promotes weight loss when and if you need it
- Supports your immune system health
- Supports a healthy metabolism
- Provides you with an immediate energy source
- Helps to keep your skin healthy and youthful looking
- Supports the proper function of your thyroid gland
- Smoothing and moisturizing effects
- Promotes skin elasticity
- Convenient eye make-up remover
Coconut Pure contains 100% pure, unrefined, organic extra virgin coconut oil. It is rich in medium chain fatty acids. Coconut Pure provides stable, healthy fat. Made from Certified Organic Coconuts.
I eat Raw Coconut Oil in my smoothies, on my organic popcorn, and I use it on my body! It is the only product that leaves my skin feeling smooth without making me breakout!
On the other hand, complex fitness equipment like the bowflex, not the trampoline, should be used with care in order to avoid exercise mishaps like bursitis.
So the next time someone asks you butter or margarine, as much as you’d like to choose the cow over the scientist you’re going to pick nature’s creation, right?
Enjoy Your Holiday Weekend!

Are Corns Causing You Pain?
Slice up some pineapple! “Pineapple is a source of natural fruit acids and an enzyme called bromelain, which, together, break down the dead skin buildup that causes painful corns and calluses,” explains dermatologist Igor Chaplik, M.D.
Who knew our food of the week could be used for more than just our stomachs! Chaplik’s corn-dissolving cure: Before bed soak feet in warm water for about 20 minutes to soften the skin. Dry feet, then cut a square of fresh pineapple and place it atop the corn.
Hold the pineapple in place with first-aid tape, then cover your foot with a plastic bag, then a sock. Leave on overnight. According to Chaplik, it may take several nights, but the corn will either fall right off or lift away gently with a pumice stone.
If you decide to try it let me know how is goes! I’d try it myself but I don’t have any corns or calluses thanks to my organic coconut oil!
Always,
Brandi

Health, Natural Remedies | Comments (1)Quote of the Day: Who Would You Be Without Your Story?
“All my life I used to wonder what I would become when I grew up. Then, about seven years ago, I realized that I was never going to grow up…that growing is an ever ongoing process.” ~M. Scott Peck
As a child I remember being in such a hurry to grow up. The trouble is I became more of an adult than my parents. By age thirteen, I probably had more “real life” experience than most twenty year old’s.
Looking back, I can honestly say that I don’t hold an ounce of regret nor do I possess resentment towards my parents and how they chose to raise me.
On the http://thework.org, Byron Katie asks “Who would you be without your story.” I would be nothing, all of the life’s struggles have led to triumphs. Triumphs that have molded me into who I am today; a strong, confident woman, whom is wise beyond her years.
My parents have given me an excellent foundation to continue to grow upon. After all, growing is an ever going process.
Love,
Brandi

Personal Growth, Self Improvement | Comments (2)Food of the Week: A flower, a fruit and a berry, huh?
I’m talkin ’bout pineapple! Most of you know that pineapples grow in the tropics such as Hawaii, but did you know that they grow in the center of a cactus like plant? Pineapple is actually made up of more than one flower atop of the plant. As they grow, they swell with juice and pulp expanding to become the “fruit“. Pretty cool, eh?
Pineapples belong to the Bromeliaceae family, from which one of its most important health promoting compounds, the enzyme bromelain, was named. In fact, pineapples are the only edible plant found in the Bromeliaceae family.
Studies haven shown bromelain to lessen inflammation and reduce types of swelling by blocking the production of kinins that form during injuries, disease and surgeries. Pineapple not only helps make for a speedy recovery during acute sinusitis, sore throat, arthritis and gout, but is also an excellent source of manganese, vitamin C, vitamin B1, copper, dietary fiber and vitamin B6.
Did you know that among the many benefits of vitamin B1 is its ability to increase blood circulation and provide a greater supply of oxygen to the blood cells. B1 is also know for aiding metabolism of carbohydrates. Between B1 and bromelain, pineapple is great for proper digestion!
Stayed tuned for more delicious facts about pineapple along with fun raw pineapple recipes too of course!
