How Coconuts can Save Your Life

The more I read about and eat coconuts, the more I think that they are one of the greatest foods. Coconut meat has a remarkable ability to rejuvenate oxidative tissue damage, improve the functioning of the nervous system, and restore male sexual fluids.  The coconut is a natural water filter that takes almost nine months to filter each liter of water in the shell. In David Wolfe’s book, Eating For Beauty, he says, “Young coconut water is identical to human blood plasma, making it the universal donor. Plasma makes up 55% of human blood. The remaining 45% of our blood consists of hemoglobin, which is essentially transformed plant blood (chlorophyll). When we consume a drink consisting of 55% fresh coconut water and 45% fresh green-leaf juice, we give ourselves and instant blood transfusion.” Sounds like I need to find a coconut green smoothie recipe…

Swap out your cooking fats and your body lotion for coconut oil. Dr. Peat relates that in the 1940s, farmers attempted to use coconut oil to fatten their animals, but instead, it made the animals lean and active. They switched to corn and soy feed, causing the animals to get fat without eating much food. Cooked unsaturated oils (corn, safflower, canola, soy, etc) suppress the metabolism and slow the thyroid. Coconut oil does just the opposite, leading to weight loss. Buy a jar and spoon it out into the pan, just as you would any other cooking fat- it’s delicious.

Coconut Oil is excellent at repairing and nourishing the skin. It is easily absorbed by the skin and helps prevent and lighten stretch marks. Its antiseptic quality keeps skin young and healthy and relatively free from infections.  On the other hand, Commercial lotions and creams provide temporary relief from dry skin, but eventually weaken the skin over time. – My bottle of commercial lotion is just running out so I am going to try out Coconut Oil/Butter, next. Ideally, you want coconut oil/butter that is raw (cold-pressed), organic, and packed in dark glass bottles. It does not need to be refrigerated.
