Health and Harmony

[Guest guest]

Hi to all with a smile

I am relatively new to coconut oil and am loving it. Its great to do

research and learn from others experiences.

Have noticed quite a lot of references to weightloss on this site.

My understanding is that all food (including VCO) is energy. That is,

we eat food to gain energy for daily living. The body processes our

food converting it into usable energy. Excess energy intake is stored

as fat cells in the body.

VCO may increase metablolism and have many other benefits, however, if

one continues to take in more than one uses, energy wise, then fat

storage is inevitable. I've read that FATS as food sources contain the

most dense readily available energy, if so, too much is just that! we

need to learn and be aware of quantites.

STRESS

All our food intake is subject to our levels of mental stress. The

Chinese Medical understanding is that each organ has specific

emotional relationships. Eg: sadness and grief effect the heart and

lungs, anger effects the liver, overthinking upsets the spleen/pancreas.

So, as well as achieving a good diet, and in the process overcoming

the old bad habitual ways, we need to nurture a Calm and Harmonious

mind. Not easy while things are not perfect around us, but we should

be aware of our own state of mind and emotions. They have a direct

effect on the way our body works. Mind, body, energy, all

interconnected always.

People with specific serious complaints really need to find a good

natural therapist (as well as a good MD / GP). These feelings of

unwell may be mental or physical, don't fly blind, get professional

help as well as doing your own research.

Just some thoughts, hope they're helpful for someone.
