Today is International Women’s Day, and to celebrate I wanted to share some fun facts about how all the women (and men) can incorporate Coconut Magic into your routines to boost your health and wellbeing.
Coconut oil for Hormone Balancing
Did you know that the fatty acids in coconut oil are a vital building block and transporter of hormones in the body! Therefore, they support the creation, transport and elimination of hormones including estrogen and progesterone in the body helping to balance out your hormones! Start off with just 1 teaspoon of Coconut Oil taken daily and then I recommend building up to 2 tablespoons a day!
MCT Oil for increased energy
The medium chain fatty acids of MCT oil bypass normal digestion to go directly to your liver where they are converted into energy to be utilised by the body! Taking just one teaspoon in the morning can help to increase your energy!
Coconut Oil and Coconut Cider Vinegar for Gut Health
The combination of Coconut Oil and Coconut Cider Vinegar work together to repair the gut tissue and encourage the growth of healthy gut bacteria! Coconut Cider Vinegar is fermented making it a natural probiotic. While the high levels of lauric acid in coconut oil helps to protect against, bacterial, viral and yeast infections in the GUT! Taken as one tablespoon of Coconut Cider Vinegar and one teaspoon of Coconut oil in warm water in the morning will help to increase digestion while having benefits on the GUT!
Happy international women’s day to all, if you head over to our recipes page you can find some ideas of how to increase your daily intake of all of these beautiful products!
