Want to start eating healthier and wondering where to start?
Why not start by choosing one thing that you eat or drink that is doing you the
most harm, and substitute it with something you’re not eating or drinking that
is good for you?
Not that many years ago, I used to drink a coke (usually
Pepsi) about once every week. Coke is super unhealthy in every way. We all know
that. Empty calories, tons of sugar, and it can rot your stomach. So I have
gradually reduced my consumption of coke to about once a month and now I am at the point where it’s not
something I really think about as an option. I do occasionally crave one if I
am eating at a restaurant. But otherwise, I have kicked the coke habit.
My new habit is coconut oil. Recently, I started consuming a
tablespoon of coconut oil every morning. Coconut oil has many healing
properties and does not convert into fat in the human body. In addition to its
antimicrobial properties, coconut oil is beneficial for: promoting heart
health, promoting healthy brain function, providing an excellent “fuel” for
your body and supporting a strong metabolism that can aid in weight loss,
supporting proper thyroid function, strengthening your immune system, and maintaining
healthy skin, among other things. I also apply coconut oil directly to my face.
Coconut oil acts as a natural sunscreen as it blocks the sun’s harmful UV rays.
It has also been found to have anti-aging, regenerative effects.
I also cook with coconut oil and drink coconut water when I'm working out. The recommended daily dosage is 3 tablespoons. If you don’t like the oil itself, you could try
it in your tea or coffee or juice blends or mix it in with other foods.
I highly recommend incorporating coconut oil into your daily
diet. But, whatever habit you decide to change, making that one decision could
be the start of a much healthier you. Good luck!
