Worst "Health Foods" / West Nile Virus Protection with Virgin Coconut Oil

Over the past several years I have been really awaken to the understanding that I am the only one who is in control of my journey. For me, it is all about NOT believing everything you see, especially on TV, through commercial ads and of course the main stream media.  I still find it hard not to shout out to the world, that the foods we see in the local chain grocery stores are all marketed towards the average consumer who are trying to get healthy and fall for false advertising- its all about reading the labels.
Below is a great video on the disguising marketing ploy that labels  foods as "health foods".

I cringe at certain wording in labels..especially the words like "diet", "sugar free" and "healthy"- this is just ploy to attract us to believe we are eating healthy- when in fact, it could be damaging our long term health with many side effects that we don't connect with the possibility of the "health" foods we are eating.

I truly believe that the best foods are the whole foods, unprocessed. Look for foods that only have maybe 3 ingredients that you can pronounce. Even when you go for the Turkey and Chicken, look for hormone free, and eggs, look for cage free, farm fresh...the veggies have pesticides, fish are tainted from the polluted waters, the commercial oils are full of crap. I know we will NEVER eat 100%clean, but we can at least be awake when we purchase our foods and understand that toxins build up over time and chemicals in the liver cause a overdose of stress on the body.

Another thing I learned is that soy is so harmful and soy milk is just as dangerous- you can read more about soy here-http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2010/09/18/soy-can-damage-your-health.aspx

This is why I believe the nut milks are the most beneficial, especially almond milk and coconut milk which are packed with nutrients your body needs 

I have had many a wake up calls. The health benefits of UNREFINED Virgin Coconut oil is one of the best discoveries I have found through the past few years. I consuming coconut oil daily, oil pulling and cook with coconut oil and the high fiber coconut flour. I use coconut oil and cayenne pepper for deep scalp conditioning and for thicker hair growth. It has helped with Fat loss, give me more energy,whiter teeth, healthy gums and as an immune system protector. Coconut oil works wonders as a natural bug repellent. Virgin coconut oil may protect you and your pets from West Nile Virus.

 Going forward, I will be continuing my own researching and will not jump at any product that is labeled "healthy" until I do my own research.

I have discovered that wheat plays a HUGE part in my arthritis flare up, and any foods with gluten.

 I will be going indept soon about the harmful side effects of wheat, which is right up there with refined sugars.

Almond Milk & Coconut Oil Boost

I have been adding almond milk and coconut oil to my morning coffee for that extra boost. Boy can I tell a big difference in how I feel. The coconut oil has been a daily addition to my coffee, but now instead of cream, I have been using unsweetened almond milk. You get the healthy fats from the coconut oil and the fiber,protein and nutrients from the almond milk. Almonds are rich in vitamins and minerals, so almond milk doesn't need to be fortified. Almonds contain vitamin E, manganese, selenium, magnesium, potassium, zinc, iron, fiber, phosphorous and calcium. The flavonoids in almond milk help prevent cancer and slow the signs of aging. The high levels of antioxidant vitamin E found in almond milk make it very effective in the prevention of cancer. Coconut oil can help with everything from soothing a dry scalp, providing the essential proteins required for nourishing damaged hair to helpng skin ailments like psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema. So, next time you want to try something different in your hot tea or coffee..try the almond milk pack with nutrients, and the coconut oil to give you that boost you need to get you going..especially when weight loss is involve...the fat burning mode is what gets me excited.

Coconut Oil-Apple Cider Vinegar Detox Cleanse

I have been experimenting with a coconut oil-apple cider vinegar detox cleanse for about 1 week now. I have been detoxing off my pain meds I have been taking off and on since 2008. I did my research and I had 2 very important items that I have been faithfully devoted to for over 2 yrs now. One is the most amazing oil I could ever imagine using, the Organic Un-refined virgin coconut oil, the other is organic raw apple cider vinegar which to me is just as amazing as the coconut oil. It was time I took my body back, giving my organs a break from this toxic world. I knew the key to successful weight loss is a healthy liver. Beside the prescription medications and over the counter meds and the toxic foods we eat, we are also exposed to environmental pollutants.The liver becomes overworked and overloaded. When the liver is stressed, it cant process toxins and fat in an efficient way. There are many foods that can help cleanse the liver naturally by stimulating the natural ability to clean toxic waste from the body. Coconut oil is a powerful cleansing food that also provides plenty of natural energy during a detox. I also have been taking my vitamins and supplements and Milk Thistle with dandelion, Fennel and Licorice. The cleansing properties of apple cider vinegar have been utilized for centuries. Eastern medicine teaches us that apple cider vinegar can help stimulate circulation and aid detoxification in the liver. Ancient cultures often used apple cider vinegar to purify the blood. Today we are exposed to more toxins than ever before, so it's become even more important that we take care of our bodies by detoxing with natural medicinal foods like apple cider vinegar Here is the video I made, and the recipe for the cleanse drink

High Fiber Coconut Flour-My Review

This is a review on Bob's Red Mill Organic Coconut Flour read more about coconut flour-http://products.mercola.com/coconut-flour/ here is part of the article- "Coconut flour is unlike any other consisting of 14% coconut oil and 58% dietary fiber! The remaining 28% consists of water, protein, and carbohydrate. Coconut Flour is ideal for baking. It has fewer digestible (net) carbs than other flours, and it even has fewer digestible carbs than some vegetables!Coconut Flour is gluten-free and hypoallergenic. With as much protein as wheat flour, coconut flour has none of the specific protein in wheat called "gluten". This is an advantage for a growing percentage of the population who have allergies to gluten or a wheat sensitivity. Coconut Flour consists of the highest percentage of dietary fiber( 58%) found in any flour. Wheat bran has only is 27% fiber. Coconut Flour can help you reach a healthy weight. Ideal for those who follow a low-carb eating plan, coconut flour works well as part of a weight loss program because it has high fiber, and foods with high fiber can help promote a feeling of fullness."
