FOOD – The MOST Powerful Drug?

Could it be possible that so many of our modern day ailments could be healed with food? The answer is YES! How could that be? Think about this for a minute. Many of these ailments are caused by a lack of certain substances found in food or from eating the wrong foods. I’m talking foods that are not good for you like junk foods, processed foods, etc.

The book The UltraMind Solution: The Simple Way to Defeat Depression, Overcome Anxiety, and Sharpen Your Mind by Dr. Mark Hyman gives powerful evidence and descriptions supporting just how powerful food can be.

Dr Mark Hyman starts out talking about Clayton. Clayton is 12 years old and had severe ADD, he also had Asthma, Anxiety, abdominal pain, and that was just the A’s.

He had a whole list of other problems, Eczema, hives, insomnia to name a few.

His ADD was so bad he could barely write, his penmanship was so bad. Rather than treat his ADD, his Asthma or irritable bowel, his hives, eczema, or anxiety Dr. Hyman simply got his system in balance.

What was really shocking to Dr. Hyman – that lightbulb moment – Mom brought Dr. Hyman a sample of Clayton’s handwriting – you couldn’t read it!

After 2 Months (see picture shared here) his mother brought his homework back and it looked like the 2nd pic…

Dr. Hyman didn’t try to bio-hack his handwriting or treat his brain. All Dr. Hyman did is ask the family to take out the foods that were creating imbalance and putting back things that create balance.

6 Reasons Why Coconut Oil is Good For You

🥥 Coconut oil is one of the few foods you can truly call a superfood. Coconut Oils is also one of the most controversial foods on the market. 

🥥 It just takes 2 Tablespoons 🥄🥄per day…

There are 3 types of people you will meet when it comes to Coconut oil:

1. Those that won’t touch it because it has “saturated fat” – they have been lead to believe that fat causes heart disease. They are wrong. 
2. The person who sees the benefits of Coconut Oil but are scared to eat it because it is “too high in calories”. They have been led to believe that all calories are created equal. They are wrong. 
3. The person that uses Coconut Oil it for everything 😍

I saw this video that explains why you should eat at least 2 TBSP of Coconut oil every. The article talked about Coconut Oil having an impact on losing weight, boost your immune system, lower inflammation and overall just and feel amazing. 

Just so you know, I took this to heart and have been using 2 Tablespoons of Coconut Oil per day since I heard about this. So far I feel good, not negative effects, it certainly hasn’t caused me to gain weight. It has made me feel less hungry and my skin seems to be softer. 

🥥 #1 Coconut Oil to help you lose weight

Even though 1 TBSP contains 120 calories. These 120 calories don’t act the same in the body as say 120 calories of Canola Oil. 

The different kinds of foods we eat have different effects on our health. 

Coconut oil is more thermogenic compared to other foods and fats. 

This means that eating Coconut Oil tends to increase energy expenditure. 

So what that looks like then is when you eat coconut oil it helps to burn more calories.
