Virgin Coconut Oil

I received Tropical Traditions Virgin Coconut Oil Book in December and there is a chapter in the book with hypothyroidism and the benefits of coconut oil. I purchased a jar off of Amazon and have been using Tropical Traditions Coconut Oil for 2 weeks now. Some of the benefits it stated from using coconut oil it helps with dry skin and puffy eyes which are a couple side effects of not having a working thyroid. You can take up to 3 tbsp. a day, but I am working my way up and I am taking 1 tbsp a day. I put it in my smoothies and I made banana bread with it and it was the moistest banana bread I have ever made. This week I noticed that my eyes were less puffy when I woke up (which I have tried every eye product out there for this, my feet are not as dry as they usually are and my my face is a lot smoother and soft. I also feel hungry all the time, but this may be due to me cutting out white flour and trying to avoid processed foods. I have replaced all my carbs with whole grains, whole wheat pasta and brown rice. The next products I want to try from them is their coconut flour which is gluten free and coconut oil hair treatment.

Here is a little information on coconut oil and if you want to check out their website go to TROPICAL TRADITIONS.

Virgin Coconut Oil is a food, and is one of the best cooking oils you can use. It has been a staple cooking oil for thousands of years in tropical climates. As a cooking oil, its chemical structure is kept in tact and therefore is resistant to mutations of fatty acid chains even when used in higher cooking temperatures, unlike most vegetable oils. Research shows that the medium chain fatty acids found in coconut oil boosts the body’s metabolism, raises body temperatures, and helps provide greater energy which can lead to weight loss.
