Health Tip #2
It is common in conversations hear things like, “It’s a virus, there is nothing you can do.” What we have to start realizing is that every day we can have healthy habits that will keep our body healthy and also help us fight viruses and bacteria. Our body is well equipped to do so. Your immune system was made to take care of foreign particles and it does an amazing job every minute of every day. Your immune system takes care of your body whether you have symptoms or not. You benefit from a boost to your immune system with each adjustment, according to independent researcher Ron Pero which is a fabulous beneficial side effect to your care here. People often ask me, “What can I do at home?”
Here is Health Tip #2:
Consuming Coconut oil daily.
In the 1980s, coconut oil was considered bad because it is fat. That was the start of the low fat, high carbohydrate, trans-fat, boxed food generation. However the make-up of coconut oil is similar to some of the fats that make up your brain tissue. Now there are studies showing how the consumption of coconut oil helps to reverse some components of Alzheimer’s disease.

According to this study, at least two fatty acids in coconut oil, and their monoglycerides, have antiviral properties. These components of coconut oil will cause breakdown of the virus membrane, inhibit virus maturation and prevent binding of the virus proteins to the host cell membrane. In another small study, coconut oil consumption also showed an increase in immune system cells in HIV patients.
What is the best way to add Coconut oil to your diet? Buy organic, virgin coconut oil. You can put coconut oil on toast or sauté food with it. Sometimes I take a spoonful of coconut oil and dip it into raw honey and eat it. It is delicious! I consume coconut oil in my coffee each morning.

Let coconut oil melt and blend all ingredients together, otherwise melted coconut oil will pool on the top of your coffee. Enjoy!
