Coconut oil
Wow! It's been a while since I have actually had time to sit down and read for my blog. We have all been sick, out of town, and personally my doctor's appointments are getting more frequent. On top of that we are nearly 4 weeks away from the delivery of our new addition, so my energy is somewhat lacking. I'm back on track for a little while, at least.
I am going to take a just a few minutes to discuss some benefits of coconut oil and then include some links for you to read further.
Coconut oil is 92% saturated fat. This is not necessarily a bad thing. I will discuss saturated fat in another entry. In the early 1900's most fats were saturated or monounsaturated. People used fats such as butter, lard, tallow, coconut oil, and small amounts of olive oil. Today we're told to eat polyunsaturated oils (vegetable oils, soy, corn, safflower, canola, etc.) We're also told that 30% of our calories should come from polyunsaturated oils. This is way too high. I will also discuss this in a later entry. It should be more like 4%. We we eat too much polyunsaturated oils it leads to an increase in health problems such as cancer, heart disease, immune system disorders, and many more. You can read Nourishing Traditions for more information on polyunsaturated oils and health related issues.
Coconut oil contains lauric acid, which is also found in mother's milk and used in baby formulas. Lauric acid has strong anti fungal and antimicrobial properties. Coconut oil can be kept at room temperature without going rancid. It's great for baking.
JAMA 1967 202:1119-1123; Am J Clin Nutr 1981 34: 1552
Myth: Coconut Oil Causes Heart Disease
Truth: When coconut oil was fed as 7% of energy to patients recovering from heart attacks, the patients had greater improvement compared to untreated controls and no difference compared to patients treated with corn or safflower oils. Populations that consume coconut oil have low rates of heart disease. Coconut oil may also be one of the most useful oils to prevent heart disease because of its antiviral and antimicrobial characteristics.
Coconut Oil: Why Its Good for You, Lita Lee, PhD
People who live in tropical climates who have a diet high in coconut oil are healthier, have less heart disease, cancer, and colon problems. Coconut oil is stable. For example, unsaturated oils become rancid in a few hours.They also deplete vitamin E from your body. Coconut oil, even after 1 year at room temperature does not become rancid. Coconut oil is also shown to lower cholesterol (Blackburn et al 1988, Ahrens and colleagues, 1957). Another benefit is that it stimulates thyroid function. These are just a few benefits mentioned in this article.
Weston A Price also has a number of articles dealing with the health benefits of coconut oil. I will include those links at the bottom. When cooking, I typically only use olive oil, coconut oil, and butter. You should not heat olive oil to extreme temperatures as it becomes rancid and releases free radicals. I use it mainly for homemade salad dressings. We don't really fry things in our home, but if I have to brown something, I use butter. I like to bake with coconut oil because of it's rich flavor. It's also great in smoothies.
Coconut oils is becoming more widely available in stores, but it is often cheaper at Tropical Traditions. Our co-op orders from there, so it saves even a little more. I definitely recommend that you check out some more information about coconut oil and experiment with it in your cooking. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.

Chiropractic Care
There is more to proper nutrition than just food. I can highly recommend seeing a chiropractor as one step in your journey to healthy living. Let me emphasize that not all chiropractors are the same. Some do more damage than good, so do your research.
There are a myriad of reasons to see a chiropractor. I started going because of severe allergies. I took an allergy pill 365 days a year just to keep my symptoms at bay. I was just treating the symptoms, not the cause of the problem. I constantly had red, watery eyes, sinus headaches 3-4 days a week, congestion, plus I was prone to frequent sinus infections. After four months of treatment, starting out at 3 days a week, I was off ALL medications. After my first adjustment, the pressure behind my eyes was gone. Eventually, I went down to one day a week just for maintenance. I also had my son adjusted when he was three weeks old. Birth is a very rough process, and I wanted him to start out on the right foot.
The purpose of chiropractic care in short, is to relieve subluxations (joint dysfunction and nerve stress). You can read more about that here.
At the particular chiropractor I went to, they stressed 5 components of health.
1. Nervous System-controls all body functions
2. Nutrition
3. Exercise
4. Prayer
5. Rest
Proper health incorporates many aspects. I desire to treat my whole body, which includes what I eat, but also my lifestyle. If you live in the Raleigh, Wake Forest, or Cary areas, I highly encourage you to check out this particular chiropractor.
They are a Christian practice that truly cares about and prays for their patients.

I look forward to finally finding a good chiropractor down here.

Butter or Margarine
I received this email from the lady that heads up our co-op. I knew most of this already and have included it in my entry on hydrogenated oils, but thought you might like to see this. Have not researched this, but I do know some of the facts are true.
Pass The Butter ... Please.
This is interesting . .. .
Margarine was originallymanufactured to fatten turkeys. When it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.
It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow colouring and sold it to people to use in place of butter. How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavourings....
DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter?
Read on to the end...gets very interesting!
Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and
only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavours of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarinehas been around for less than 100 years .
And now, for Margarine..
Very High in Trans fatty acids.
Triples risk of coronary heart disease ...
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five times..
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.
And here's the most disturbing fact.... HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!
Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC... and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT
These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).
You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:
* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
* it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?
Share This With Your Friends.....(If you want to butter them up')!
Chinese Proverb:
When someone shares something of value with you and you benefit from it, you have a moral obligation to share it with others.

Money Saving Ideas for Eating Healthy
Let's face it. Eating healthy is not cheap. I've brainstormed some of the things that I do in order to eat healthy in a way that is as inexpensive as possible. These are in no particular order.
1) Shop store circulars and use coupons. I find this especially helpful with diapers. I do realize that is not a food product, but this is a good example. Pampers tend to fit my son the best. Of course, they are the most expensive diapers, so I have to shop wisely. Last week, Food Lion had a 3 day sale in which Pampers were $6.99. Usually they are over $10 a pack. On top of that, I used a $1.00 coupon. So, I got them for about half price. You can do the same with healthy food products as well. If it's on sale at the grocery store and you have a coupon, you save even more. Don't be afraid to sign up for any savings card or program a store offers. I also sign up for email alerts from our closest grocery stores. Walmart is not always the cheapest if you are shopping wisely.
2) Don't be afraid to ask for a rain check. If a store is out of a particular item, you can ask for a rain check and get it at the sale price when the item comes back in stock.
3) Sign up for surveys and participate. www.zoompanel.com, www.ipsos.com, www.hometestinginstitute.com are all reliable sites. I have been participating for years. Not only can you earn points for prizes, but the more you participate, the more savings opportunities you have. Many will send you coupons. I've also been able to test products before they are released to the public. This is especially helpful in the diaper and wipes area. I've tested body wash and dish soap to name a few.
4) You can also sign up for health food coupons. www.mambosprouts.com is a start. You can get electronic coupons or sign up for the paper ones that they mail to you. Some stores do not take internet coupons, so you are able to sign up for both. You can use them at the regular grocery store and health food stores.
5) Visit the websites for health food stores and sign up for their email alerts. You can also pick up their coupons in store as well. They will often advertise their weekly sales on line since most do not send out flyers like the regular chain grocery stores.
6) Certain products are cheaper to buy in bulk, but you need to be careful. Just because it's a super sized package, does not make it cheaper. Often paper products are the same price in bulk as they are in normal sizes. Price it out by piece or ounce. We joined Sam's because that is all that is close. It is not my first choice, but we do save. Orange juice is cheaper as well as the organic salad mix. When we lived in NC, BJ's was our club of choice.
7) Join a co-op. My wheat and a few other products are purchased through a co-op. It makes the shipping charges significantly cheaper. (12 cents a pound versus 50 cents a pound). When you are ordering a 6 gallon bucket of grain, that can add up quickly. Some co-ops allow you to work there and get a discount on items. My particular co-op orders from several companies in order to save on shipping charges, membership fees, and group rates.
8) Cook with beans. See the entry on beans for a great website and cooking ideas. You can use with meat to stretch it.
9) Make your own snacks. Look at your pantry. Determine which snacks are unhealthy. Consider making something homemade. We just don't buy too many snacks. I would rather spend that money on fresh fruits and veggies. Not having snacks around the house also helps us to manage our weight better.
10) Consider certain store brand products. However read the labels. They are often cheaper because they have inferior ingredients. However, an organic store brand product is about the same as a national brand organic product.
11) Drink water.
12) Shop local farmer's markets. Not only is it fresher, but it's healthier. It does not have to travel as far to get to you. We are fortunate to have several organic farms in the area.
13) There are several websites that offer coupons. www.couponsuzy.com is an example. Check them out weekly as the savings offers do change.
Most of these things take time and effort. Be a good steward of the time and resources God has given you. Eating healthy is not always cheap, but you will either pay for it now with food and proper nutrition or later at the doctor.

Cod Liver Oil
I know this sounds disgusting at first glance. However, there are many benefits to fish oil if it is clean. Cod liver oil, in particular, is extremely healthy. Sally Falon, author of Nourishing Traditions, has listed many benefits of this oil.
* Addition of fat soluble vitamins found in butter from grass fed cows and cod liver oil to the diet often results in improved iron status. This is especially important for young children and pregnant women.
* Cod liver oil can work in small quantities.
* Cod liver oil feeds the nervous system, which can help combat post-pregnancy baby blues.
*Cod liver oil is an excellent source of vitamins A and D. It contains DHA, which is essential to development of the brain and nervous system. DHA is also essential to proper development of the retina in a developing baby while in the womb.
* DHA in mother's milk helps prevent learning disabilities. I am not saying it is a cure-all in this area, but definitely works as a preventative measure.
* Good saturated fats helps the body put DHA in body tissues where it belongs.
* Cod liver oil contributes to a healthy reproductive system.
* Cod liver oil contains omega-3 fatty acids needed for counteracting the effects of the over abundance of omega-6 linoleic acids and hydrogenated fats. Omega-6 fatty acids and hydrogenated combinations are linked to tumor formation and inflammation of the colon. Wild caught salmon is a good source of omega-3's. However, farm raised salmon has an over abundance of omega-6. Therefore, when shopping for and eating salmon, look for wild-caught and not farm raised.
*Some benefits of cod liver oil: thin blood, protect arteries from damage, inhibit blood clots, reduce blood triglycerides (type of fat), lowers LDL blood cholesterol, lowers blood pressure, reduce risk of heart attack and stroke, eases symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, reduces risk of lupus, relieves migraine headaches, fights inflammation, regulates immune system, inhibits cancer in animals (possibly humans), soothes bronchial asthma, combats early kidney disease.
*The higher levels of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood, the lower your blood pressure, which lowers your risk of heart disease and cancer.
* Cod liver oil is acknowledged to play a role in brain development, retina development, male reproductive tissue, skin integrity, lubrication of joints, and aid in the body's inflammatory response.
Weston A. Price has information on the best types of cod liver oil to purchase, as well as the proper dosages for various age groups.
I take a cod liver oil supplement every day and have ordered some for my son. Currently, I cannot afford the "best" as recommended by Weston A. Price, but can afford the "good." See the article for what that means. You can order the "good" stuff on vitacost. It may also be available in your local health food store, however, even with shipping is probably cheaper on vitacost. The co-op that I belong to orders from Vitacost to save on shipping. (I'll discuss the benefits of a co-op in my next entry.)
If you want to read more about Cod Liver oil and its benefits, see Nourishing Traditions, The Maker's Diet, and www.westonaprice.org. I also read an article in Time Magazine, June 26, 2006, by Andrew Weil, MD. It basically discusses the same points that I have listed above. Continue to read and research. Other fish oils are healthy, but from what I have read, cod liver oil seems to be the best.
