Ester Maria Pure & Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Is Classified As A Functional Food.
A food that provides health benefits beyond its nutritional contents.
Coconuts and coconut oil have been traditional, staple foods of Asia, Africa, Central America and the Pacific Islands for thousands of years. Pacific Islanders, those who still eat traditional diets, have a reputation for good health and strong beautiful bodies. Many of these traditional diets obtain 30% to 60% of their calories from coconuts and coconut oil. They tend to have normal cholesterol levels and no cardiovascular disease.(39)

Today, in countries where coconut oil is still widely used, heart and vascular disease remains uncommon. Coconut oil is converted, by the body, into the hormone pregnenolone. It also has immune-stimulating and anti-oxidant action. Coconut oil also promotes thermogenesis and increased metabolism (probably by supporting thyroid and mitochondrial function).

Why Does Ester Maria Pure & Organic Extra Ester Maria Pure & Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Make You Skinny:
Most oils, including corn and olive, are broken down into fatty acids that circulate through your body after you eat them, allowing hungry fat cells to suck them up and store them. Ester Maria Pure & Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, however, is rich in a type of fat rarely found in other foods, called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). "When you eat MCTs, they go straight to the liver instead of going directly into circulation. There, they're burned up like kindling for a fire," says Cherie Calbom, author of The Coconut Diet.

Plus, your body requires extra energy to digest MCTs. Including them can increase your daily burn by 45 calories, says Marie-Pierre St-Onge, Ph.D., assistant professor of nutrition at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

How to use it:
Spread Ester Maria Pure & Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil on toast instead of butter, melt it on veggies or use it for sautéing. But don't deep-fry with it; coconut oil breaks down at high temperatures. Look for virgin oil at health-food stores or order directly from us.

Why do You Grow Old?
Free radicals are the culprit! These are highly reactive molecules missing an electron. In an effort to achieve stability, they steal electrons from other molecules causing other molecules to become free radicals. It produces a chain reaction that affects thousands of molecules. Free radicals attack the cells and this may lead to cell mutation and death. Some researchers consider it as the main cause of aging.

Load Your Body with Antioxidants.
Antioxidant is you body’s natural defense against free radicals. It can stop the chain reaction of free radicals. The amount of antioxidants inside your body depends upon the nutrients we consume. However, antioxidants can also be applied on skin to prevent sagging and unsightly wrinkles.

Virgin Coconut Oil - The Wonderful Natural Moisturizer
For those of you who have never tried anything with virgin coconut oil in it here are some basic facts about this wonderful natural moisturizer and what it can do for your skin and scalp. Due to its particular molecular structure, this oil is easily absorbed by the skin, leaving it smooth, silky and with a radiant glow that's perfect for summer. For those of you suffering from dry, rough and wrinkled skin, virgin coconut oil is a very good solution, as it can be used on everything from your heels to your scalp, providing lasting moisture and evening out the texture of the skin.

Most of the traditional face and body creams are predominantly water, which allows moisture to be quickly absorbed into the skin (especially if we're talking dry skin) - however, the feeling of smoothness doesn't last too long, as water is either absorbed into the bloodstream or evaporates. The creams and lotions that we use on a daily basis also contain some type of highly refined vegetable oil devoid of all natural protective antioxidants our skin needs to fight free radicals. Virgin coconut oil, however, is the exact opposite: in fact, there are scientists who claim that coconut oil is the best natural ingredient for skin lotions available on the market.

First of all, coconut oil prevents the formation of destructive free radicals. Massage it into your skin and you won't have to worry about liver spots and many other types of blemishes caused by old age or exposure to sunlight. It will even out your skin, give it a more healthy-looking texture and a subtle glow that is bound to reflect on your overall state of mind. Massage it into your skin at night after cleaning your face thoroughly and doing a body scrub - while you're in the shower, you can also use it either as a pre-wash hair conditioner to fight off dandruff, or as a normal conditioner, massaging it into your scalp after using your regular shampoo. Give coconut oil a chance to heal your skin, and you're bound to see results very quickly.

As a "functional food," coconut oil is now being recognized by the medical community as a powerful tool against immune diseases. Several studies have been done on its effectiveness, and much research is currently being done on the incredible nutritional value of pure coconut oil.

Dr. Mary Enig, a Ph.D. nutritionist/biochemist and one of the world’s leading authorities on fats and oils, has undertaken much of the coconut oil research in more recent years. Dr. Enig has classified coconuts as a "functional food," which provides health benefits above and beyond the basic nutrients. She has specifically identified lauric acid as a key ingredient in coconut products. It can help to boost your body's immune system.

Saturated fats found in coconut oil are used in the body as an important source of energy and an integral part of the cell membrane structure. Short to medium chain fatty acids are more water soluble than longer chain fatty acids and thus require less energy for the body to absorb and utilize. They are freely absorbed into the bloodstream and are thus an important source of energy, raising the metabolism of the body.

Furthermore, this reduced metabolic load allows the liver to optimise its detoxifying functions, bile production and regulating of blood sugar levels. Short and medium chain fatty acids contained in virgin coconut oil such as Caprylic (C8), Capric (C10) and Lauric (C12) have been found to have strong anti-viral, anti-bacterial and anti-protozoal properties and are essential building blocks in boosting the body's immune system.

Beside boosting your body's immune system, Virgin Coconut Oil can help to heal CANDIDA, regulate blood sugar for diabetics, relieve bowel disease, relieve chronic fatigue syndrome and defend against digestive parasites.
