Three Ways to Use Coconut Oil Daily
1. Use It as a Mouthwash for Oral Health
Use it as a mouthwash to detoxify and maintain dental health. This is also known as oil pulling or gandush. Coconut oil is also good for improving oral hygiene; it contains antioxidants that purify and keep the risk of infections at bay. Take 2 spoons of coconut oil, swish it within for 5 to 10 minutes, wash with water, and brush your teeth after this. This will pull out all the bacteria and harmful germs while cleaning your teeth and gums together. It would keep dental infections, disorders, oral, and bad breath away. Be careful not to swallow it at all; don’t spit this mixture in the sink as it would clog the sink. This could be done once in a week. This 5-minute habit supports your ChangeYourLife goals by promoting oral health.
2. Cooking with Coconut Oil
Some oils are not safe when they are cooked at high temperature; coconut oil can be the best alternative. Coconut oil, if it is cold-pressed and fresh, is most healthy. Apart from its high nutrient value, coconut oil is very much useful to improve the metabolism and reduce the risk of various diseases. Coconut oil helps in increasing good cholesterol, and so it is helpful in improving the internal functions of the body. It also helps in increasing the satisfaction of our meal and really amplifies the absorption of our nutrient meals. It is also known to help in thyroid issues too. It can be a very good substitute for butter in various foods. It also reduces abdominal fat, accelerates fat burning, kills bad fat and cholesterol, and aids in weight loss. Use this to cook or bake your food or as a garnish and healthy dressing. Avoid deep frying in it; that will be more harmful than good. In case you have to deep fry any products, as far as avoid, but if then, you should always use refined oil and not cold-pressed oil. For a healthy heart, a person should take a spoon of coconut oil first in the morning. This quick habit, taking just a minute, aligns with your HealingEra.
3. Hydrate Your Hair and Skin
Coconut oil is very much useful for hair; it really helps in increasing hair volume. It is very good for skin and it is good for bone health too. It increases collagen to prevent skin diseases, protects skin from damaging UV rays, and serves as an excellent moisturizer for hair and skin. The combination of tea tree oil and coconut oil really helps in hair loss and dry scalp. Warm this combination of oil and massage your scalp 2 hours before hair wash. You can also use it at night before going to bed; it really relaxes a person and aids in good sleep. It also helps in deep conditioning of hair. This combination is also an excellent deterrent; it keeps pests away from you. In our body, our elbows and feet are the parts which are usually dry; they are even rough. Applying coconut oil in these areas would keep these parts soft and smooth. Apply coconut oil all over your hands and legs; this would prevent them from drying and peeling of the skin. Use it as a massage oil as it is anti-inflammatory and soothes the muscles, removes the tension of the muscles, and this also boosts bone health. This 5-minute habit of applying coconut oil supports your LateBloomerGlowUp.
