My girlfriend Jennifer was under the weather this week. She said she may have had food poisoning. I asked her if she was taking her coconut oil. She ran out! I reminded her that it helps boost the immune system and energy and helps with nausea and digestion (her symptoms).
It is recommended that upon not feeling well you take 3 to 4 tablespoons of coconut oil for adults 3 times per day until you feel better. Adjust for children.
I know with weather changes and up coming holidays is when most people get sick. I hope you try coconut oil the next time you feel an achy stomach or scratchy throat. For optimum health Bruce Fife recommends 3-4 tablespoons of coconut oil a day in our diets. I get this much on average and feel great. Laurie
