How To Use Coconut Oil And Receive Its Marvelous Health Blessings

I ingest or swallow at least four tablespoons of Virgin Coconut Oil (VCO) daily. A spoonful after every meal - breakfast, lunch, 3:30 PM snack, and dinner.

My wife takes three tablespoons everyday - two during breakfast and one right after lunch. Notice the difference in our approach?

Keep in mind that even half a teaspoon taken everyday is already beneficial. I know some people who are experiencing good results with only a single tablespoon of coconut oil daily.

Spread It Out

To maximize efficiency, I recommend you take it several times per day. You don't have to consume them all at the same time. Besides, too much of any oil loosens the bowels, though most people get used to it with regular use.

Simply cooking with coconut oil is one of the easiest ways, especially if you have difficulty eating oil straight from a spoon. Heck, you can just massage it on your skin if you like.

After easily penetrating your skin, it will eventually end up in your bloodstream for even greater health benefits. How to use coconut oil at its simplest!

Ideal Cooking Oil

Since coconut oil is highly saturated at 92 percent, it's very stable and remarkably resistant to oxidation (spoilage).

It's so stable that when heated, it is 12 times more resistant to oxidation than canola oil, 16 times more than soybean oil, and 300 times tougher than flaxseed oil!

When used in cooking, coconut oil can be reheated without producing harmful free radicals. Use it for frying, greasing pans, baked goods, etc. It doesn't even have to be refrigerated.

Coconut oil can be used for all your meal preparations just as you would with other oils. Simply mix another oil like olive oil for salad dressings because it hardens due to its high melting point.

Coconut Milk

There are countless delectable coconut oil recipes to choose from. To make it even more delicious, we often use coconut milk. It contains significant amounts of the oil and can benefit your heath pretty much the same way pure coconut oil does.

Coconut milk can be used in far more ways in food preparation. It's an excellent substitute for dairy. If you're a vegetarian or lactose intolerant, coconut milk is a heaven-sent as it affords you to continue enjoying the taste of dairy products.

Recipes, by the Spoonful, etc.

Let your creative juices flow with tasteful coconut recipes. Put some in your morning coffee or tea. Or do it the simplest and quickest way, directly by the spoonful or topical application.

Do this and all of coconut oil's marvelous blessings are yours. Many have and are already living beautifully changed lives.
