When people think about eating nutiva organic coconut oil they often envision clogged arteries and bad health, but the fact is that natural nutiva organic coconut oil is a very healthy food and may even be the healthiest oil you can eat. Here are seven reasons why you might want to add this healthy oil to your diet:

1. Your Body Doesn't Turn It Into Fatty
Yes, believe it or not nutiva organic coconut oil won't make you as fatty as other types of oils. That's because it contains medium chain triglycerides which the body can easily burn without converting to fatty. Most of the other types of oils used for cooking contain long chain triglycerides which the body typically stores as fatty. In simple terms, your body can convert this oil to energy faster and has no need to store it on your hips.
2. It Can Increase Your Metabolism
Interestingly enough, nutiva organic coconut oil may even help you lose weight because it can increase or metabolism. This helps your body burn fatty more efficiently and some say that it may actually triple the calories you burn for up to six hours after eating it with a meal. In fact, an issue of woman's world magazine called nutiva organic coconut oil the "high metabolism secret".
3. Natural Nutiva organic coconut oil Has Omega 3 Fatty Acids.
In much of the living under a rock, you know that adding omega-3 fatty acids to your diet is quite desirable. But what many people don't know is that traditional cooking oils contain omega six fatty acids which we already get way too much of. The problem then results that we have an unbalanced ratio of omega-3 to omega sixes. One way to rectify this would be to use natural nutiva organic coconut oil in your cooking instead of cooking oils as the nutiva organic coconut oil is filled with the Omega 3's.
4. Nutiva organic coconut oil Will Energize You
Combine those healthy omega three fatty acids with your increased metabolism and the ease with which your body can convert nutiva organic coconut oil into energy and you've got a healthy energy boost. In fact, many people with chronic fatty syndrome have found that adding nutiva organic coconut oil to their diet has helped them gain more energy.
5. It's Great For Your Skin And Hair
Not only can you eat it, but nutiva organic coconut oil is great for your skin and your hair. It can relieve rashes and other skin problems and help to give your skin a younger appearance. In addition to being a great moisturizer, it also has antioxidant properties that can actually protect the skin from aging due to free radical damage. Not only that, but it smells great too!
6. Nutiva organic coconut oil has healthy benefits that most other oils do not.
While most other oils are only good for greasing up your food, nutiva organic coconut oil has added health benefits. It has antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties and it does not oxidized easily. Oxidization of oils can cause free radical damage and many of your standard cooking oils will oxidize very quickly when stored at room temperature (probably within a month). Nutiva organic coconut oil , on the other hand will stay good for up to a year at room temperature. In addition, nutiva organic coconut oil can help your body absorb other vitamins like vitamin E.
7. Nutiva organic coconut oil Is One Of The Best Oils You Can Use For Cooking.
Did you ever put olive oil in a pan to heat it up and it starts to smoke? Not only does this make your food not so great, it's not good for your health either but nutiva organic coconut oil has a higher smoke point which means you can use it to cook in higher temperatures. You can cook anything in it and it adds a delightful taste your food - not too sweet and "coconut" like you might think - in fact, I've used it to cook meals with and my family hasn't even noticed!
When it comes to natural Nutiva organic coconut oil , there really can't be healthier food. Unfortunately we've been misinformed about nutiva organic coconut oil for years so many people do not use it. However, it has been used in the tropics for cooking and healthcare for centuries with good results. So why not get a tasty, healthy boost and add some nutiva organic coconut oil to your cooking today?

Coconut oil for hair care products.

2011-02-15T01:50:00.000-08:00

Coconut oil is very popular and the demand for hair care worldwide. Let us find out why.
Since childhood they were people who lived in most of the coastal areas of the world, especially in areas where coconuts grow in abundance, such as in the Indian subcontinent, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, etc. to know one and Only coconut oil is fragrant, sweet oil, their hair only. Coconut oil has been in use as a hair oil for all ages and has shown remarkable results. Some elements in it gave me strength vitalized, treatment and protection from the effects of age Let us see what these components and the effect on the hair.

Lauric Acid: One of the most responsible reasons behind hair fall and hair loss is microbial action on the scalp and hair roots. So, to protect hair against them, what we need is an antimicrobial agent. Lauric Acid present in Coconut Oil is one of them. It is basically a triglyceride which yields a monoglyceride called Monolaurin when acted upon by a species of bacteria which breaks the glycerol bonds. This monolaurin has excellent antimicrobial properties.

Capric Acid: This is yet another triglyceride present in Coconut oil, which, like Lauric Acid, yields another monoglyceride called Monocaprin due to bacterial action, having antimicrobial properties similar to that of monolaurin.
Vitamin-E: Almost every aptly educated person knows the importance of vitamin-E for skin and hair. It keeps scalp and skin healthy and hair rejuvenated.
Moisture Retaining Capacity: Coconut Oil has high moisture retaining capacity, since it is not broken down easily nor evaporated, being very stable. It does not let moisture escape thus keeping hair moistened and soft. This prevents breakage of hair. Coconut Oil is a far better conditioner for hair than any synthetic one available in the market.
Anti-Dandruff: The various fatty acids present in Coconut Oil serve as very good anti dandruff agents and are way better than any anti dandruff shampoo. A regular application can help you get rid of dandruffs for ever.
Styling: Coconut oil can be good styling oil for hair too, as it melts on heating and then condenses on cooling. So when you apply it on your hair, it thins and spreads evenly due to heat of the scalp. Soon afterwards, as the hair comes in contact with air, the oil on hair condenses on cooling and thus works as a styling gel or cream.

If you ever visit coastal parts of India, like West Bengal, Kerala, Coastal Tamil Nadu etc, you will be surprised to see lots and lots of old men and women, in their 70s and 80s, still having thick jet black hair. Thanks to the coastal climate, the rice and fish meal and of course, to the pure coconut oil they use on hair.

Organic Hemp Protein Powder Review

2011-02-07T21:39:00.000-08:00

I am vegetarian (eat diary and fish, don’t eat meat only) and from time to time I like to practice vegan and for such periods I need purely vegan protein and I chose Nutiva hemp protein powder.

I wanted protein from plant and organic. I am satisfied with my choice, because it gives me plant protein and because of the fiber in it I don’t look after my constipation problem. After drinking this hemp protein I have regular bowel movements (no discomfort, just normal going to the toilet)

Read below pros and cons and decide if this hemp protein is for you.

Pros about Nutiva organic hemp protein powder
- It is organic

- Purely vegan

- Contains 11 grams of protein per serving

- Contains 18 amino acids, 8 of them essential amino acids

- Contains 14 grams of fiber, 1 gr. soluble and 13 gr. insoluble. If you have high bad cholesterol, than this hemp protein powder is perfect for you, because insoluble fiber helps to lower cholesterol.

- Contains omega 3, omega 6 and omega 9 fatty acids, which are good for heart health, depressions and overall health.

- Regulates bowel movements. I highly recommend Nutiva hemp protein powder to people who have irregular bowel movements or even constipation. I don’t think that people who have regular bowel movements will experience often and stronger bowel movements, but will appreciate if somebody share personal experience wit this, please comment below. There are 2 types of Nutiva Hemp protein

Nutiva Organic hemp protein, 11 grams protein, 13 grams fiber – I recommend this to people with constipation.

Nutiva Organic hemp protein, 15 grams protein, 5 grams fiber – I recommend this for people with no constipation

- Contains no hexane, gluten, dairy, lactose or sweeteners

Cons about Nutiva organic hemp protein powder
- I want to have a little bit more protein in a serving. In the past I drunk whey protein with 25 grams of protein per serving, which I also love it, but it is not for veagns.

- The taste is not good, although I drink it for 15 seconds and this is not big issue, but if you want to drink it like protein shake and enjoy the taste, this is not such protein powder. In my opinion drink it as quickly as possible is best.

I drink Nutiva organic hemp protein once per day:

- Instead of morning breakfast (2 hours before workout) and then I don’t eat before workout.

- Or after workout and then eat after at least an hour.

Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil on a fantastic sale!

2011-02-05T20:01:00.001-08:00

I hope this link works. I thought I'd mention that Amazon.com is have a sale on Nutiva Organic, Cold-Pressed, Unrefined Coconut Oil. I own this 54 oz sized jar of it and do have to say it is excellent coconut oil (much better than the cheap refined Superdrug Coconut Oil I owned in the past). This smells lovely and is edible too. It's got good reviews and works works well on the hair as a treatment or a leave-in. People also use it on their skins. I own the 54 oz jar and keep it in the fridge and keep a smaller glass jar in my bathroom for daily use. It gets hard at colder temperatures but keeping it in the fridge will keep it fresh for longer.

I think it's a steal of a deal for 21.99 and free shipping on orders over $25.

Perhaps this is the perfect opportunity to try something new?

Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil 54 oz
[Enlarge Image] Nutiva Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil 54 oz

Starting at $21.49 from 6 sellers

5 Stars

A deliciously healthy cooking oil. Better than butter. USDA organic. Unrefined & no trans fats. Rich in lauric acid. A soothing body oil. The coconut oil myth. Coconut oil has been mistakenly described as not healthy. The fact is, coconut oil is cholesterol-free and rich in medium-chain good fats that doctors recommend. Why is it that baby formulas often include coconut oil? Because coconut is one of the world's most nourishing super foods. Nutritionists suggest enjoying up to 3 tbsp of extra-virgin coconut oil each day, so help yourself to this heavenly, creamy taste of the tropics. Nutiva's cold-pressed Coconut Oil is: Extra-virgin & pure white: not refined, deodorized or bleached! Read more... Organic: so it's free from pesticides, GMOs and hexane. Versatile: Ideal as high-heat cooking oil (up to 350 degrees), as a nutritious substitute in baking, a better-than-butter replacement on bread, vegetables or popcorn, and as a luscious oil for skin care, hair care, and massage. America needs an oil change. While doctors suggest we consume a 4:1 ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3, the average American diet provides a ratio of 20:1 or more - contributing to heart disease, skin disorders, and arterial inflammation. So avoid out of balance soy, corn, and canola oils with their trans fats, oxidation, and GMOs. Cook with coconut oil (with only 1% Omega-6), and use olive oil (also low in Omega-6), and hemp oil (with the perfect 3:1 Omega ratio) for unheated recipes. Nature's ideal all-purpose cooking oil. No trans or hydrogenated fat; no cholesterol or hexane. Unlike other brands, we press our coconuts within 2 hours of chopping. No refrigeration required. Solid at room temperature and melts at 76 degrees. Any coconut husk fibers at the bottom of the jar are indigenous to the processing and harmless. Coconut oil contains medium-chain good fats with 50-55% lauric acid - a healthful nutrient that supports the metabolism. Certified organic by QAI. Product of the Philippines.

Oh and I’m thinkin I may get this question, so here’s the answer… I use a Whirley-Pop Stovetop Popcorn Popper to pop my popcorn. I LOVE it! It’s definitely a kitchen gadget in my house that gets used regularly.

We eat healthy how ?

Looking for a Way to Eat Right Without Giving Up Flavor?

Many people are becoming more aware of the importance of eating well and leading a healthy lifestyle, but aren't sure exactly how to incorporate this into their own routine. Contrary to popular belief, eating well doesn't have to mean a drastic overhaul of how you cook.

It also doesn't mean that you have to compromise on taste or texture.

With just a few simple additions to your cooking methods and daily diet, you can start eating more healthily while enjoying every last bite. Nutiva is proud to offer an extensive range of healthy, delicious hemp foods and virgin coconut oil products that make it easier than ever to start eating right.

Try Unrefined Coconut Oil for Better Taste and Better Health

For example, Nutiva's extra-virgin coconut oil is not only good for you, but it's an excellent addition to any kitchen. Our virgin coconut oil is unrefined, unbleached and unfermented, giving it a light taste, pleasant aroma and pure white color. Our coconut oil is also unhydrogenated, eliminating the unhealthy fats found in hydrogenated oils. For centuries, people have cherished coconut oil for its beautiful flavor, and it has widely been used in cooking throughout the world.

Looking for Coconut Butter or Coconut Cream?

Coconut Manna™ is creamy whole coconut that will delight people looking for coconut butter, coconut cream, coconut oil butter and coconut body butter. Coconut Manna™ is a delicious whole food, made of pure, dried coconut flesh which will “melt in your mouth.”

Why Choose Nutiva's Unrefined Coconut Oil?

What makes Nutiva's virgin coconut oil so special? Much of the magic lies in the way the oil is processed. Within several hours of the coconuts being chopped, the meat is cold-pressed, unlike other varieties of coconut oil which can be left for more than 10 hours before pressing. Nutiva's approach preserves as much of the oil's natural color, flavor and aroma, giving you the best results for any use.

Why Virgin Coconut Oil is Good for You

Unrefined coconut oil doesn't just taste better, it's better for you. With around 50% lauric acid content (an acid also found in mother's milk), it helps support a healthy metabolism and is being researched for its ability to protect against fungus, bacteria and viruses. The benefits of coconut oil's lauric acid are so strong, it is often added to baby formula to help infants develop strong and healthy systems.

Consider also the fact that Pacific Islanders long used coconut as a staple of their diets. Those who still subscribe to a coconut-rich diet display low incidences of heart disease or obesity. Those who switch to more "Western" ingredients, such as Omega-6 laden vegetable oils, often show a remarkable increase in these illnesses and other health problems.

Experience the Versatility of Virgin Coconut Oil

Of course, coconut oil can be used in other ways as well. Coconut oil is often used in skin creams and lotions for its ability to moisturize and nourish the skin. Whether you want a healthy replacement for vegetable and animal fat for your cooking, or are simply looking for better options in your daily skin care regime, choose Nutiva's unrefined virgin coconut oil.

With its healthy properties, excellent taste and beautiful aroma, unrefined coconut oil from Nutiva is the perfect solution.

Product Description
Originally founded in 1999 by John W. Roulac, Nutiva Organic has become one of the innovative leaders within the health industry and is much different than Treatments For Cellulite. The hemp oil is developed from the 6,000-year-old China cultivation of hemp from a wild plant found in Central Asia. Throughout the years, many medical professionals and researchers have come to know hemp as a source of high nutritional value. Some go as far to say that hempseed is among the most nutritional foods within the world.
In general, hempseed consists of a highly digestible protein. In addition, it is a source rich in GLA, omega 3, vitamin E, as well as iron. Interestingly, hempseed has one of the highest percentages of plant source vitamins. Actually, some refer to it as a plant source vitamin that is higher than any other kind that is out there. Additionally, Nutiva Organic contains no genetically altered or bad for your health ingredients.
Nutiva Organic, essentially was developed off the concept of giving people the kind of nourishment they are lacking. Primarily, the Essential Fatty Acids (EFAs) that people should consume on a regular basis, but do not. Current estimations find that approximately ninety percent of Americans are not getting the entire amount of EFAs their body need. Although this type of good fat is doctor recommended, many do not get this omega-3 vitamin since things like fish, hempseed, and flax contain it.
On the other hand, Nutiva Organic offers this type of needed nourishment through the light green and flavored raw and unrefined cold-pressed Canadian hemp oil. Compared to other hemp oils out there it has more GLA content. Additionally, it features a light and nutty taste.

Doctors recommend this type of fat, since it is one of the good fats and should be part of every person’s diet.
However, most do not get this omega-3 vitamin since it is only something they would get if they were to eat certain things such as fish, hempseed, and flax. On the other hand, Nutiva Organic offers this type of needed nourishment through the light green and flavored raw and unrefined cold-pressed Canadian hemp oil. Compared to other hemp oils that are out there it has more GLA content
