I've run across some VERY interesting studies recently on the relationship between coconut oil (or any type of coconut fat, includingcoconut milk and cream) and how it can affect your body fat... The findings may surprise you! A 2009 study published in the Journal Lipids consisted of testing the effects of either 2 tablespoons of coconut oil or 2 tablespoons of soybean on a group of 40 women over the span of 28 days. Results showed that the group that ate the coconut oil had a decrease in abdominal fat, while the soybean oil group actually showed a slight increase in belly fat.  Additionally, the group that ate the coconut oil showed increased HDL ‘good’ cholesterol levels, while the soybean oil group had decreased HDL cholesterol and increased LDL ‘ bad’ cholesterol. The Journal of Nutrition published a study where researchers investigated all studies relative to medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs) that are abundant in coconut fat and weight management. The studies showed t...

Let’s face it, we are exposed to an alarming amount of toxins on a daily basis. From the BPA that lines your canned goods to the pesticides liberally sprayed on anything alive these days, our bodies are constantly absorbing an outrageous amount of chemicals. Even though you may try to live as pure a life as possible, sneaky sources of dangerous metals are everywhere, even in the so-called “all natural” products that fool consumers into believing these ingredients are safe. Over time, high concentrations of metals build up in our systems and can lead to a wide variety of conditions, including, but not limited to: •    Anemia •    Dizziness •    Fatigue •    Dry skin •    Joint or muscle aches •    Loss of appetite •    blood pressure issues •    Nausea •    Vitamin and mineral deficiencies Try as you may, there’s just no getting around the obscene amounts of toxins we are exposed to...

Tea has many benefits, for the body, stress and energy levels, and even in the prevention of serious diseases.

The Danger Of  Toxins In Our Body In this post, I am going to be sharing with you about one shocking finding as revealed in a prestigious medical journal, Lancet which recently proved that environmental toxins do indeed make people fat and can cause people to get diabetes [ref: Jones OA, et al (2008). Environmental pollution and diabetes: a neglected association. Lancet. 26;371(9609):287-8.]. The studies explained that, there inside our body, these environmental toxins unleash cascade of dangerous events that can disrupt our body ability to effectively balance the blood sugar level and metabolism. These environmental toxins also destroy the delicate balance of bacteria that present in our gut. These toxins also influence the genes within our fat tissue which allow them to create new fat cells. As this process goes on, the new fat cells then fill up with more fat and toxins leading directly to a greater risk of causing us to getting diabetes type 2. These toxins also pose ...
