Healthy Oil???

Question for you to ponder. How much time do you take caring for your home, your car, your stuff? How much time to you take in caring for your body? You can replace stuff- you have only one life on this earth. Make the most of it!

A while back I challenged the group to be mindful of water intake. How are you doing with the water? Hopefully you are all getting the proper amount each and every day. 

Today I want to address fats. What kind of oils do you allow into your body? Ever stopped to think about it? 

Did you know that we NEED fats? Of course we do- but the RIGHT kinds of fats, "healthy" fats. We'll get into foods that contain fats another time, like nuts, avocados, fish, etc. Right now I want you to think cooking fats.

We have found that the VERY best "cooking" fats are the following:

Grape seed oil- can be used at very high heat
Olive Oil- best used not heated, or at very low cooking temperatures
Coconut oil- can be used at very high heat, but has a coconut flavor (yum)
Organic Butter- you know what to do with butter!

Now you may be asking....where is the "Canola Oil", otherwise known as rapeseed oil???? In MY opinion, that stuff belongs in the category it was created for: machinery. It should never be used in the human body. Test me on this. "Spill" a little on an old piece of fabric. Let it sit a while. Then wash it. Does it come out in the wash? Hmmmm- what does that tell you. What's going on INSIDE your body?

My "go to" oil is grape seed for most cooking. Olive oil for dipping. And we make an amazing cookie healthy cookie, that is actually a healthy meal with the use of coconut oil. 

Looking forward to a "healthy" discussion!
