What Coconut Oil Does For Your Teeth & Gums

2009-06-10T21:24:00.004-04:00

Coconut Oil is a natural food thats good for you in many ways as I have said previously. Did you know that using Coconut Oil to brush your teeth will have people asking you "How do you get your teeth so white?" Did you know that if you have gum disease/bleeding gums that Coconut oil can help eliminate this as well as it kills the bacteria that cause gum disease. I first use it as mouthwash and then I add a few drops to my toothbrush and gently brush. The results are amazing! I don't know if I'l ever go back to toothpaste as long as I have access to Coconut Oil. I'm out with the Toothpaste and in with the Coconut Oil.

You didn't know? Organic Coconut Oil to lose weight

2009-06-09T17:23:00.009-04:00

Yes, it's true. Organic Coconut oil speeds up your metabolism. Well what happens when you boost your metabolism??? you shed the pounds. Those MCT's(medium chain tryglycerides) found in Coconut oil are responsible for this incredible metablolic boost and at the same time produces energy. Ever wondered why some athelete's will take a dose of Coconut Oil right before a race??? it's to get that extra boost of energy. The Lauric Acid ( #1 MCT in Coconut oil) has lots of health benefits and is hard to find. Lauric acid is also referred to as the miracle ingredient in Coconut Oil. It is also found in human breast milk.

Tell the truth and shame the devil on low fat diets! I'll take the Coconut instead!

While it is said that a low fat diet is better for you and also the best kind of diet for weight lose......I'll just go ahead and tell the truth and shame the devil. In fact, Americans are more obese now than ever in the history of mankind. People who are successful at losing weight do so simply because they cut back on the refined carbohydrates, you know....the breads,pastas and rice. These are the same foods that we are told should be consumed for a low-fat diet and at the same time people on the low fat diet are guzzling sodas,various fruit juices & those oh so famous sports drinks. In other words just plying on the sugar and corn syrup. While some will lose weight on a low carb diet....many will not simply because their bodies are not getting the neccessary fats the body needs. There are good fats(fats that occur naturally in foods such as that good ole Coconut, mothers milk, etc) and bad fats(found in non-traditional processed foods). Having said all this...I personally feel thats it's just stupid to buy 2% milk,take the yolk out of the eggs or altering traditional foods period.

My Oil Pulling & Teethbrushing Method Using Organic Coconut Oil

2009-06-09T13:10:00.004-04:00

Every Morning, before I eat or drink anything, I do what is called "Oil Pulling", using my Organic/Virgin Coconut Oil. Well, now you ask "what is Oil Pulling?" Oil Pulling is a health benefit that involves swishing the coconut oil around inside the mouth while gently pulling it in and out between the teeth. I use Organic Virgin Coconut Oil to do my oil pulling. I will take 1 tablespoon of my Coconut Oil and swish it around in my mouth as well as pull 'n push it through my teeth. I do this for about 10-15 minutes making sure not to swallow the oil since it now contains toxins that were pulled from my mouth/body. How do I know it contains toxins??? Well...when I first put the tablespoon of Organic Coconut Oil inside my mouth it was in its original color. After swishing it around for about 10-15 minutes the oil became a thin, milky white color. This was the indicator that the oil now contained toxins which is why it is not to be swallowed. Instead....I just spit the now toxic oil out in the toilet. Next, I brush my teeth with a few drops of the coconut added to the toothbrush(no toothpaste added) and rinse my mouth out with warm water. Some people even use warm saltwater. I have eliminated the use of Toothpaste all together. Now I got me some pearly white teeth the natural way.

What kind of Coconut Oil To Buy

2009-06-08T19:37:00.008-04:00

You should buy Coconut Oil that is Organic most definitely. Virgin Coconut Oil is the best....as the closer to nature the better.... expeller pressed Coconut Oil simply means it has been mechanically refined but still w/o chemicals being involved in the process. When done the traditional, old fashion way...expeller pressed Coconut Oil goes through a stem deodorizing process which makes the Coconut Oil pretty much bland and tasteless, unlike Virgin Coconut Oil which taste and smell like fresh Coconuts and a bit more expensive. Trust me you won't be disappointed.

Benefits of Coconut Oil used externally?

2009-06-08T19:14:00.004-04:00

Coconut Oil used externally is good for healing bruises,protecting sores,moisturizing dry skin,stops early aging,relieves stress(massage on head) & helps re-grow damaged hair. I have also heard people say it is a great personal lubricant and makes a good deodorant, however....I personally have not used it for either.

Is Coconut Oil Edible?

2009-06-08T18:29:00.005-04:00

You bet it is! Because Coconut oil comes in a solid form it must be heated to atleast 76 degrees (F) to become a liquid. I simply place my 14 oz jar in very warm water and let the oil melt to the point of where I can actually pour it out. My first dose of Coconut Oil was 1 teaspoon per day(taken straight with meals) to see if it would give me the "runs"(loose stools) (pardon my french lol!). A case of the "runs" after taking a teaspoon of Coconut Oil is a indicator that you may have a fungal or bacterial overgrowth. Currently I'm taking 1 tablespoon a day and do plan on increasing my dose to 2 tablespoons daily. Now you may wonder....why in the world would you eat Coconut Oil?? Well....remember what I said about the Lauric Acid???? Well since Lauric acid is about 50% of Coconut oil....this key ingredient fights viruses, fungus, pathogens and even yeast! This alone should make everyone want to add Coconut Oil into their diet. To name a few....Coconut Oil is good for your heart,blood pressure,liver,kidneys, bones and teeth. It even boost your metabolism which helps you lose weight. The list just goes on and on.

What Is Organic Coconut oil?

2009-06-08T17:32:00.008-04:00

Coconut oil is made up of well over 90 % saturated fat. The good thing about this though is that the saturated fatty acids in Coconut Oil are mostly MCT's(Medium Chain Triglycerides). MCT's does the body good, as they are ultilized as nourishments for our bodies. 50% of Coconut fat is Lauric Acid. Lauric Acid is not only in Coconut Oil but it's in breast milk. Lauric acid plays a major part in the reason why Coconut Oil is considered to be one of the most healthest oils on earth. It is also contains Vitamin-E and is one of the best moisturizers on the market.
