#22. Story Time: Coconut Oil, PART 1

Hello Moms,

image

I came to Nigeria for a visit and I have been here for just one week. I came home with a lot of things that I love using so I don’t start finding them around and one of them is coconut oil. A lady payed me a visit and saw me frying eggs with coconut oil and she asked why I was using that to fry eggs, Oh my!!! I laughed so hard. We have a lot of resources in Nigeria that we do not even know how to make use of them. So I spent an hour educating her on all I use coconut oil for.

I have decided to share this with all the moms who extract this oil yet don’t even know the value of what they have.

Up till now, there are over a thousand studies that have proven that coconut oil is one of the healthiest foods on our planet. People don’t realize how useful this oil is. The secret of coconut oil has been revealed by research, this research shows that it contains healthy fats called medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs), Which includes: Caprylic acid, Lauric acid and Capric acid.

Studies also show that 62% of the oils in coconut are made up of these 3 healthy fatty acids and 91% of the fat in coconut oil is healthy saturated fat. Most of the fats that we consume take longer to digest, but MCFAs found in coconut oil provide the perfect source of energy because they only have to go through a 3 step process to be turned into fuel vs. other fats go through a 26 step process!

HEALTH BENEFITS

1. PREVENTS HEART DISEASE: because coconut oil is high in saturated fats which increase the healthy cholesterol io our bodies. It also converts the bad cholesterol into the good one. So instead of using any other oil to fry, I use coconut oil.

2. PREVENTS HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE: research shows that consuming coconut oil can prevent high blood pressure.

3. NATURAL TREATMENT FOR ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE: when coconut oil is digested by the liver, it creates ketones which are a readily accessible energy by the brain. Ketones supply energy to the brain without the need of insulin to process glucose into energy.

Recent research has shown that the brain actually creates it’s own insulin to process glucose and power brain cells. As the brain of an Alzheimer’s patient has lost the ability to create it’s own insulin, the ketones from coconut oil could create an alternate source of energy to help repair brain function (DR. AXE).

4. CURES UTI (URINARY TRACT INFECTION)

5. CURES KIDNEY INFECTION

6. PROTECTS THE LIVER

7. REDUCES INFLAMATION AND ARTHRITIS

8. FIGHTS CANCER

There are more health benefits and we will do the part 2 tomorrow.

HOW I USE COCONUT OIL

1. On my daughter’s hair; I have 1 girl and I love to try out a lot of things, I decided to apply coconut oil on her hair for 1 month to see the result and I was impressed by what I got. Fuller, healthier and stronger hair

2. On my Children’s body: nothing strikes me better than my kids skin glowing. I tried a lot of things and decided to go natural on them. Yes I love the result I got on them

image3. I make smoothie with them

4. Cook with coconut oil

5. Use them on my hair, very excellent for dandruff and itching of scalp, so I apply them

6. Very excellent for dry skin, so if you have a dry and scaling skin like mine use coconut oil

7. Child birth left me with plenty stretch marks, I apply them on the stretch marks, so far I am seeing results.

I will be discussing more benefits and how I use them in the part 2. So look out for that.

  1. I have been using coconut oil for my skin. I.e my cream, Food when cooking rice , and for my hair mixed with Shea butter. And it’s been good. I did research on coconut oil before I start using It. So any Nigerian who does not know of coconut oil should wake up. Because for the past years its been trending in Nigeria.

  2. Hello ma’am

    I’m so happy with the results I got after the one week detox we did, I now feel lighter especially around my lower belly region. I backed it up with exercise and my belly reduced a bit, I’m sure if I do this again I would burn off all that belly fat that makes me look pregnant. I bless the day I joined your group and may God continue to bless you and your family. On Aug 9, 2016 7:45 AM, “50 Amazing Moms With Christiana Stephen” wrote:
