I thought so too once. I\u2019m writing this because it wasn\u2019t long when I found out that the cooking oils I, (and basically everyone else) used,\u00a0<em>SLOWLY\u00a0<\/em>deteriorates your body. Its been said that we\u00a0<strong>NEED\u00a0<\/strong>Vegetable oil in our diet because it has omega-6 polyunsaturated fatty acids because out bodies can\u2019t produce them. However, since vegetable oil is\u00a0<em>LOADED<\/em>, with omega-6, the excess of these fatty acids build up in our cell membranes and have been led to cause inflammation. Oh and by the way, inflammations have been known to cause diseases such as cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes, just to name a few. It kinda sucks knowing all this when all they have at the local stores is vegetable, corn oil, and\/or soybean oils.<\/p>\n<p>But there is a\u00a0<em><strong>HEALTHIER\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>alternative. You can buya jar of<strong>\u00a0ORGANIC COCONUT OIL.\u00a0<\/strong>Lets talk a bit about this versatile food. Coconut oils has been frowned upon for a number of years because of the high saturated fat content. Someone somewhere said that coconut oil clogs arteries, which has since been proved a myth.\u00a0 Coconut oil can be classified as a \u201csuper-food\u201d, and for good reason too.<\/p>\n<p>For one, coconut oil contains Triglycerides, which are metabolized differently<br \/>\nand have great effects on disorders. The fatty acids in coconut oil ultimately kill harmful pathogens which prevents infections, pretty good for someone with a weak immune system, (some of which I know, and well, me too probably.)<br \/>\nFatty acids in coconut oil also reduce your appetite significantly, which will MOST LIKELY make you lose weight in the long run\u2026meaning that, well, it\u2019ll HELP TO LOSE WEIGHT, DUH!<br \/>\nBut you don\u2019t necessarily have to\u00a0<em>EAT IT,\u00a0\u00a0<\/em>you can stop using your normal lotion and just use coconut oil. Studies show that you can use it effectively as a skin moisturizer. when I put it on my face and skin in general, I don\u2019t get that over-dryed feeling like I do usually since my skin is so sensitive. Oh yeah, you could use it as sunscreen too, and also to brush your teeth, but you should combine it with some baking soda to\u00a0<em><strong>REALLY\u00a0<\/strong><\/em>do the job.<\/p>\n<p>This is only\u00a0<strong>SOME\u00a0<\/strong>of the benefits of coconut oil. Just a jar of this could last you 2 months depending on how much you use it. In these times where we have absolutely\u00a0<strong>NO IDEA<\/strong>\u00a0what is in the foods we eat, the drinks we drink, we can definitely depend on this for our cooking and other uses. I\u2019m really into using the best and purest of things and coconut oil is one of them this is why I write this, everyone\u00a0<strong>SHOULD\u00a0<\/strong>know that there are\u00a0<strong>AWESOME\u00a0<\/strong>foods that you could eat and improve your life THE RIGHT WAY.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We\u2019ve been told since day one that the common oils such as corn and vegetable oil were ok for you.
