Coconut Oil Benefits

It has been all the rage this past year and while I was pregnant, I was not up for trying anything "new" or different, {insert irrational fear of anything bad happening to baby} so I waited until this year to try out this magical and versatile super food:

 

I LOVE any and all things coconut, so I knew the taste would never be a problem for me.  This kind I bought from Trader Joe's does have a faint coconut flavor; it's detectable when I 'butter' my toast and cook my over-easy egg in it.  My sweet husband politely asked me to never cook his scrambled eggs in it again...
#sneakyhealthfail

I've heard there are so brands that do not have the "coconut flavor"...which ones??



There is much to be said for this oil to really help out our digestive systems,{especially someone with Crohn's Disease} and I really need to find a better solution to sneaking this into his daily meals!  Any suggestions?

Not only coconut oil great for inside our bodies, but apparently it works wonders on the outside as well!  I have yet to try the hair mask, but I certainly will!  I also heard that prego women are lathering it all over their bellies to keep it nice and moisturized.  I may try this the next time around!



My feet/heels are cracked and dry all of the time; slather it on to smooth out those rough piggies!

I keep trying to sneak it into my daily meals...I've heard from friends they throw it in a smoothie!! I'm also loving it spread on 1/2 of a whole wheat English muffin with my homemade jam.

How do you use Coconut Oil?  Do you see its benefits?

  1. I've been wanting to try coconut oil! I too love anything coconut but I didn't realize there were so many benefits. Do you know where you can buy it? We, sadly, don't have a Trader Joe's.

  2. I've never used coconut oil - I've definitely heard of the great health benefits, but have been nervous to try it because I don't like coconut flavor. Maybe I can find some that isn't overpowering??

  16. I’m giving a testimony about Dr Osemudiamen the great Herbalist man, he has the cure to all manner of diseases, he cured my herpes simplex virus, though I went through different website. I saw different testimonies about different spell casters and herbalist, I was like: ‘Many people’s have the herpes simplex virus cure why are people still suffering from it? I thought of it. Then I contacted Dr Osemudiamen via email: drosemudiamenspellhome@gmail.com. I didn’t believe him that much, I just wanted to give him a try, he replied my mail and Needed some Information about me, then I sent them to him, he prepared it (CURE) and sent it to me Fed-ex delivery, he gave my details to the FedEx Office, they told me that 2-3 days I will receive the parcel and i took the medicine as prescribed by him and I went for check-up 2 weeks after finishing the medicine, I was tested herpes simplex virus negative. if you are herpes simplex virus patient do me a favor by you contacting him and I assure anyone who is suffering it, your problem will never remain the same again you will be cured. Also Dr Osemudiamen help my sisters husband to cure his HIV/AIDS he was suffering from for the past 3 years. After he cured my herpes simplex virus, then my sister heard about it, she went home to tell her husband about Dr Osemudiamen then her husband emailed him and explained his problem to him. He also prepare herbal medicine and he use fed-ex delivery to sent him the herbal medicine and he instruct him on how he will be using it for 14 days. That on the 15 day of it, he should go and check his self in the hospital and he did as he was instructed by Dr Osemudiamen. To GOD be the glory he was cured of his HIV/AIDS which he was suffering from for the past 3 years thanks to these great man we will ever remain grateful to you Sir indeed might work you did in our families. When you contact him, make sure you tell him that I refer you.. contact him via: drosemudiamenspellhome@gmail.com

  18. I feel so blessed again in my marriage after Doctor Oku brought back my husband that separated with me for good 3 mounths. Am Jessica Butler by name from los angeles. Even though i have mouths all over my body, it won't be enough to thank Doctor Oku for his help upon my life. My husband separated with me for the 3 months and have been in pains and agony without him. So, i searched for help everywhere but nothing worked out not until i meant Doctor Oku who i contacted online. I explained my situation to him and he promised that my husband will get back to me within 24 to 48 hours as far that my heart still beats for him. I believed in him and he prepared a spell for me and my husband called me exactly when Doctor Oku said. He pleaded and said he needs me back and now we are living happily again for the past 9 months. Everyone out there reading my article that needs help should contact him... Email: okutemple@gmail.com or whatsApp him +2347053113465

  20. Africa continent though we have heard a lot about them even when they seem not good, there are still few good ones among them. The world health organization and other health related organization will not accept the fact that some of these herbal medicine from Africa can cure almost every disease outbreaks and viruses. They want us to spend all our fortune buying expensive drugs from them yet our sickness remain. It is high time we let the world know the truth. Africa herbs and roots are good for our body, i have used Dr. Ekuma's herbal medicne and it is good. I was diagnosed of Herpes virus, my mouth and lips was pale, it seem that it was peeling because it is white inside and outside. There were warts inside my mouth also, i was taking acyclovir and doxycycling as my meds but it got worse. i searched a videa about herpes on mouth in youtube and i read all the comments there, they were talking about Dr. Ekuma herbal medicine he gave to them that healed their virus. I contacted his email: dr.ekumaspecialisthome@gmail.com he answered me quickly and promised to help me. At the time i had little money and i even sensed he was not interested with my money but my health. I trusted this man and used his herbal medicine he sent to me through the courier service. He said i was going to be cured in two weeks, behold even before the two weeks, i already saw changes in my body system. i went to the clinic and the doctor conducted a test on me. I was herpes free. I decide to share my story to the general public. Dr Ekuma is real and he's a father to all. His email dr.ekumaspecialisthome@gmail.com
