I have many interests other than painting and being proactive in the health department is one of them. I'm an avid lover of coconut oil...so much that I have a jar of near my shower at all times. I lather it all over my skin after I get out..especially on my face and neck. If I forget to use facial lotion that day...I'm covered. My skin loves it and soaks it right up.
I'm not the only one I love coconut oil for....my shih tzu, Lily, eats it. I give her the good stuff (see photo) that I bought at a local herb store...called Herbs and More in Encinitas, CA. It's owned by Steve Marmor, an herboligist, who speaks my herbal language. I shave about a teaspoon into her bowl (it's rather hard as it has to be in the fridge) and she licks it right up and even faster if I put a treat on it. She's such a pig. After a couple weeks of her ingesting coconut oil, I have noticed more pep in her step (she's 11...old lady) and the vet recently told me her teeth and coat look great. Now, I've started to shave some into my morning yogurt. We could all use more pep in our step!
Coconut oil - bring more pep to your step!
