Add 2 Tbsp. Of This Coconut Oil Mixture To Your Morning Coffee To Burn A Ton Of Calories

Are you up for trying something totally different from what you’re used to?

Why don’t you try adding coconut oil to your morning cup of coffee – it’s healthy and it can actually help you burn more calories on a daily basis!

We’re used to avoiding all kinds of fats in a unselective manner, but this is totally wrong from a nutritional standpoint. Your body needs fats to keep functioning properly – they’re a major source of energy and help you absorb a long list of vitamins and minerals. That being said, not all fats were created equal – while some of them occur naturally, others are artificially manipulated into a saturated state through the process of hydrogenation – they’re called trans fats and should be avoided at all costs. But other healthy fats, like the ones found in coconut oil, deserve a special place in your diet plan, since they help protect the heart health and the functioning of the thyroid gland, prevent the development of arthritis and diabetes and can be extremely beneficial to your weight loss goals.

One of the simplest ways to add more healthy fats to your daily regime is by replacing the artificial sweeteners and coffee creamers you usually put in your cup of coffee (and their harmful effects on your health keep adding up in the long-term!) with a tablespoon or two of naturally produced coconut oil. Contrary to what you might think, it won’t make your coffee greasy and caloric – it’s natural, tastes great and doesn’t dilute the flavor of the coffee!

Besides being amazingly delicious, the coconut oil coffee has a lot of other great benefits. Among other things, it boosts your levels of energy. How? It’s made up of medium chain triglycerides, which are more rapidly absorbed by the body than long chain ones, and are quickly metabolized as fuel for immediate use by the organism instead of getting stored as fat.

This in turn speeds up the overall metabolism! A recent study concluded that consuming 1 to 2 tablespoons of medium chain fats increased energy expenditure by 5%. Secondly, it boosts your immune system, since almost 50% of the fatty acids found in coconut oil are lauric acids, which are famous for their powerful antimicrobial properties. Lauric acid is used in the treatment of flu, common cold, fever blisters, genital herpes, genital warts caused by HPV and HIVB/AIDS as well.

So give coconut oil coffee a chance to power-up the start of the day and don’t forget to let us know what you think!
