The benefits of organic coconut oil

March 27, 2010

For many years we were led to believe that coconut oil, which is saturated oil, was bad for our health. By the year 1985 a national campaign against saturated fat was well under way and coconut oil was amongst its victims. As a result of that campaign coconut oil and any products that contained coconut oil, were completely eliminated from our diet. The oil that came in and took over the market to replace coconut oil was soy oil which was touted as being healthier.
Twenty years later the truth came out. Coconut oil is composed of saturated fat called Medium Chain Triglycerides which are NOT alike any other saturated fats such as the ones derived from pork. In fact, they are extremely beneficial to your health and metabolism.
Few substances will help you lose weight rapidly like organic coconut oil. Additionally, this oil is a fungicide (kills fungi and yeast), bactericide (kills bacteria), and it has been known to reduce infections with the herpes virus. Coconut oil will detoxify the body and greatly improve your skin.
For people with hypothyroidism, using coconut oil is like a blessing. This oil will raise the body temperature so significantly that you can measure the difference with a thermometer. For those with hypothyroidism, their body is always cold because their metabolism is slow. The slower the metabolism, the colder the temperature of the body.
While developing RelaxSlim™ we were looking for a way to improve on the qualities of organic coconut oil. After a lot of research and experiment we were able to see that organic coconut oil could be improved if combined with the Japanese supplement CoQ10 which has been used even to treat cancer. CoQ10 is a co-enzime which increases the amount of oxygen in the cells and thus improves the metabolism and the body’s energy. In fact, when you take a CoQ10 supplement you will notice that your memory will notably get better. That’s because this co-enzime increases the energy in all the cells of the body, including brain cells.
The special blend of organic coconut oil and CoQ10 is called COCO-10 Plus. This oil is generally mixed with a protein shake, but can also be taken by spoon directly because it has no significant taste. It does not even taste like coconut. This product will improve your metabolism while detoxifying your body and thus the dose you take should be small at the beginning and increased gradually. There are several books written about the properties of organic coconut oil. In my opinion, the best one is called “The Coconut Oil Miracle” written by Dr. Bruce Fife.
You can find out more about COCO-10 Plus by visiting our website www.relaxslim.com.

Coconut oil can be used by children, diabetics, and elderly people. COCO-10 Plus is a blessing for anybody who wishes to lose weight or have more energy.
Naturally, in order to see very good results, COCO-10 Plus should be accompanied with the correct diet such as the 2 x 1 Diet. If done this way, the results will be immediate!

What is a slow metabolism, really?

Slow Metabolism

Slow Metabolism

People who do not know about metabolism think that everyone who is overweight is so only because they eat too much food. Nothing could be farther from the truth! Really, even having problem with your spouse or significant other can make you overweight.
Obesity and the statistics for overweight are increasing. According to national studies, more than 65% of our population is overweight. It’s a problem that affects even our youth- childhood obesity is increasing at a fast rate.
While this situation gets worse, more people are complaining each day of having a “slow metabolism”. But, what is a “slow metabolism”?
The word “metabolism” is composed of the prefix “meta” that comes from the Greek and means “movement of change”. It’s like when we say “metamorphosis”, it means change of form; or when we say “metastasis” indicating a cancer that is in “movement”. In conclusion, “meta” indicates movement or change. Metabolism has to do with the movements or changes that occur within the body in order to generate energy to survive. A “slow metabolism” is a real condition in which the body becomes inefficient in its internal changes and movements to produce energy.
Our human body can be compared to a motor that creates energy for life. The nutrients and the oxygen we breathe are the gasoline for our bodies. People who complain of having a “slow metabolism” have noticed that for whatever reason their bodies are not generating enough energy. Not only do they have a strong tendency to gain weight, they generally feel tired and without energy. When your metabolism is slow, you get the feeling that you are gaining weight just by “looking at the food”. Meanwhile, there’s always one of those very thin people around, the kind that can eat as much of anything they want, and they never gain weight!
The human body seems to have two possible uses for the food we eat: either it converts the food into energy to survive or it converts it into energy for storage. We call the energy for storage “fat”. When you have a slow metabolism, a portion of the food you eat is converted into fat, energy for storage. People who have a slow metabolism are accumulating, little by little, body fat while at the same time they feel without energy to exercise or move their bodies. They may look “lazy” but they are really weak because they lack energy.

If you have a slow metabolism, you won’t have any desire to exercise your body. There is a reason for this which is generally unknown: lack of energy. One of the worst mistakes that could be made is to think: “so and so just needs to eat less and start exercising”. To illustrate this lets imagine for a moment that you are going shopping to the store. Now, it would be advisable that before you begin to write checks, you make sure to have enough money in the bank. Asking a person with a “slow metabolism” to exercise is like writing a check knowing you don’t have enough money in the bank to cover that check. In order to exercise, you must have energy! People with a slow metabolism have very little energy and thus they tend to fail in all their attempts to keep an exercise regime n. Before exercising, you must have enough energy to spend. It does not work any other way.
On the other hand, the general perception is that everyone who is overweight or “chubby” is in this condition because they eat too much. There is nothing further from reality! In fact, many of these people who suffer from a “slow metabolism” are unjustly accused of gluttony. The truth is that there are overweight people who eat very little while there are also other thin people that can abuse the consumption of candy and sweets without gaining an ounce! It’s a ‘slow metabolism” problem! It’s a problem that can’t be resolved by eating less or counting calories. It is strictly a metabolism problem.
There are various factors that reduce the metabolism and which have already been identified. These factors have nothing to do with food. Factors like: stress, hypothyroidism, diabetes, hypoglycemia (low sugar), dehydration, antidepressant medication, infections of candida albicans yeast , hormonal deficiencies, and several more. I recommend my book The Power of Your metabolism for a more complete discussion on the reasons behind a “slow metabolism”. The truth is that you will only be able to help a person if you focus on the reasons behind their slow metabolism.
There exists a new science about metabolism. But, more importantly, there exists positive help for people who suffer from a “slow metabolism”. The only way to help these people is to understand the true causes of their slow metabolism. Only when you work with the real root reasons behind the problem can you resolve it.
