1. BEAT the winter bugs: Lauric Acid found in coconut oil is anti-viral and anti-bacterial so it can help fight colds and infections. Dr Bruce Fife recommends an adult dose of 3 tablespoons per day of virgin coconut oil taken as a spread or blended in smoothies.
2. LOSE WEIGHT with the lowest calorie oil: Fewer calories and proven metabolism-boosting fatty acids give you MORE ENERGY and assist in weight management. “Satiety” is the dieting watch-word for 2009 and test show that people FEEL FULLER for longer when they swap their usual cooking oil for virgin coconut oil.
3. Tired, hung-over? Pure Coconut Water infuses the body with hydrating electrolytes WITHOUT added sugar or artificial coloring. Full of vitamin Bs, C, potassium and magnesium – a lot of nutrients for a very small number of calories in coconut water make it a great drink for any weight management program.
4. Kefir with coconut water. Create your own probiotic, full of beneficial micro-flora to restore the inner eco-system – especially useful after antibiotics. Kefir can be made into a delicious smoothie that kids love.
5. Moisturise with coconut oil, nature’s own INCREDIBLE skin softener. Virgin coconut oil is a natural plant oil with revitalising properties for the skin containing antioxidants and phyto-nutrients. A wonderful everyday treat for the skin.
