I've gone coco—nuts! But not in the way you think.

I'm just experiencing the many benefits of an old reliable product in new and exciting ways!

Did you know that the words: metabolism, thyroid function, insulin-resistant, blood sugar, and oral health have something in common? Have you heard the term "oil pulling"?

If you don't know the answer to these questions, let me introduce you to the world of coconut oil and the benefits that coconut oil provides.

I've been using unrefined coconut oil for cooking for a long time, but I was recently introduced to Skinny and Co—a line of pure, 100% raw, coconut oils, which I've discovered offer more than just a better way to cook, they offer a better way to improve your overall health—inside and out.

After receiving several sample products from Skinny & Co in the mail I was anxious to try them. I was hooked. In a few days I was back on their website placing an order for additional products. I'm so excited to share them with you.

Coconut oil can be used as a one-for-one replacement for butter when baking, grilling, or cooking—although best when used raw and unheated, it can also be added to coffee, tea, or smoothies. Skinny & Co.'s coconut oil is such a high grade that it can be used as a supplement. Coconut oil has been used for health benefits for centuries—for boosting metabolism, supporting thyroid function, suppling energy to insulin-resistant cells, and helping maintain healthy blood sugar levels. It can also help with detoxification and oral health.

This pure, high grade of coconut oil can also be used for oil "pulling". Oil pulling is an ancient tradition receiving a lot of modern interest because of its natural ability to reduce stains, bacteria, and plaque on teeth. The "stickiness" of the oil helps "pull" away bacteria and plaque— simply by swishing a tablespoon of oil around in your mouth. (then discard)

Coconut oil can also be used on the skin as a moisturizer or in the hair as a conditioner. I've also love Skinny & Co. Lip Balm, Soaps and Shampoo Bars, and Body Scrub.

Yes, I've gone "coconuts" for Skinny and Co's line of coconut oil products. Whether simply pure or lightly scented with essential oils, Skinny & Co is helping me to fulfill my commitment for optimal health—not only in my diet or weight, but taking care of my overall health, skin and oral hygiene, as well.
