Dr. Oz did a good job of dispelling the myths and misconceptions about Coconut Oil on today’s TV show. Dr. Oz has just given you one of my favorite healing Oils with recommendations about how to use Coconut Oil.

You can smear it on your skin. It helps to moisturize, reduce inflammation, nourish the tissue, reverse the signs of aging, and even soothes the skin from fungal infections. Either the Artisana or Premiere Coconut Oil from Love Street Living Foods is the freshest oil that money can buy. We prefer Artisana, because it is raw and has all of the nutrients and co-factors intact!

When you use Coconut Oil in your food dishes, you gain the benefit of this healthy oil which contributes to weight management. If you are overweight, you will begin to gradually lose those excess pounds with no effort on your part, except the choice to use this healthy oil.

Dr. Oz mentioned that he used a dollop of Coconut Oil in place of butter when he is cooking his eggs in the morning. Coconut Oil is comparable to Olive Oil when considering calories. We encourage you to use both Coconut Oil and Olive Oil as well as other nut and seed oils with variety in your regular dietary regimen.

You can use Coconut Oil in salad dressings and other dressings for vegetables and fruit dishes. Yes, you can use Coconut Oil to make a sweet dressing for your fruit salad with orange or lemon juice, a little honey, maple syrup, or blue agave syrup with some chopped peppermint or spearmint leaves to make it refreshing and healthy. I remember the old days when we used tapioca, but those days are long gone now with such healthy alternatives…

You can bake with Coconut Oil, just as you can make marinades and master sauces with this healthy oil, too. We don’t think that it’s as good as peanut oil when you use high heat, but if you only use low or medium heat, this oil will work beautifully for your dishes. Cakes, cookies, and crackers can be made with this oil. We actually love it for our Asian dishes along with Coconut Milk.

We love our Coconut Oil in our Raw Food dishes, too. If you have never melded coconut milk or oil with chocolate and spread in on sliced fruit, you have yet to experience a wonderful way to embellish your bananas, strawberries, and other sliced fruits. Yummy for the tummy…

Our ideal oils for applying to our skin is either almond or Coconut Oil. We ONLY use organic oils and we suggest that you follow suit to get the most healing and soothing results for your skin. The people who live in tropical paradises have known this for thousands of years. Now you have been given a new insight to the use of Coconut Oil. Slather it on for fun in the sun… Even when you apply it to your skin at night, it works its magic to keep your skin supple and moisturized. You will look and feel younger…
