Re: blood pressure and EVCO

[Guest guest]

Where did you read that VCO was good for high blood pressure? That

would be great, if it's true. Did you read it on just one webpage, or

more than one?

I use VCO on my toast, just like butter. On wheat bread, it reminded

me of the cinnamon toast my mother used to make, so I got a bottle of

cinnamon, and it takes pretty good on the VCO. Today, I added just a

sprinkle of Stevia, to make it more like cinnamon-sugar toast, and it

tasted pretty good, too.

I've also used it to cook scrambled eggs in, and it gives them a

yummy, light taste. And the skillet seems to clean up a lot easier,

afterward, than with butter or margarine. The eggs don't seem to

stick as easily. I've also used the VCO to fry hashbrown potatoes in,

along with water, and it gives them a very slight coconut taste, which

I like. So does my husband.

Those are the only ways I've used it, so far. And I don't--yet--get

2T a day.

I don't care very much to eat the oil straight out of the jar. I've

used Garden of Life, which I found at a local health food store, and I

currently have a jar from a brand called " Jungle, " which I hadn't

heard of before. But it says their product is virgin and pure and

cold-pressed, so it seemed a better option than the other brand they

had at Whole Foods. Between the 2, I think the Garden of Life jar

tasted better. It was only $1 more than this stuff.

I've read several people recommend putting the VCO in a smoothie, so

perhaps you can try that.

Just keep experimenting with it. I'm sure you'll find something you

like.

Read Bruce Fife's books, Coconut Cures, is one of them.

Make sure you use seasalt(celtic or redmonds) and cut the normal salt

out. You need salt to regulate blood pressure but not the normal

stuff, which also has aluminum in. You also need it for your

adrenals, they can affect blood pressure.

I had low blood pressure and it raised mine to normal, and given me

warm feet. And of course the vco helps too, as it's very good for the

heart. As long as the rest of the diet/lifestyle is good, don't

forget processed foods are laden with the bad salt. Ignore me if you

already eat a good diet, but i hate people going on meds to reduce

blood pressure when it can be done through diet, have you had all

other checks done, heart etc.

RE: It's like eating flavoured lard. What can I do to make it go down

easier?

Stir in 1-2 T. honey per cup of softened or melted VCO - when cooled and a

uniform light amber color (thoroughly combined) you can scoop out little globs

(I use a tiny cookie scoop) and refrigerate or freeze. It's like eating a

truffle candy--melts in your mouth. Or eat by spoonful at room temp. This

makes a good spread too--honey alone is way too sweet.

Coconut oil is GREAT. It's one of the four only oils my family ever

eats. they are

1. coconut oil

2. virgin olive oil

3. butter

4. animal fats.

I work with high blood pressure clients so there's more to controlling

BP. EXCELLENT as VCO is, you should consider going on a BP control

program.

Think of it this way...replace the transfats and dammaging oils with coconut

oil. Those bad fats dammage the arteries so plaque builds up to repair them. The

plaque narrows the arteries and causes the high blood pressure. Remove the cause

... solve the problem.

My husband controlled his high blood pressure with garlic and

exercise...when he goes off the garlic and stops exercise...his blood pressure

goes right

back up....he is now on meds again....and he doesn't like it ....so hopefully

he will start back on the garlic and exercise!

I heard today that even though a product says no trans fat...it still

probably has them...due to ....that they manufactor can put up to 500 mg of

trans

fats in a product and still get by with it....I never knew that and it makes

me so mad they can trick us like that!! beth in idaho

Yes, this is a good observation and very applicable to hypertension.

Good quality oils like coconut oil are central to good health.

It's even good spread on crackers, then add some cheese....I even made the

kids crackers with the oil, then P & B on them - they thought it was a great

snack!!!
