Everyone has heard about the many miracles of Coconut Oil. From anti-bacterial, to anti-aging, coconut oil has a wide variety of benefits, and uses. One of the main benefits from coconut oil is that it contains MCT's or Medium Chain Triglycerides.

MCT's are Medium chain fatty acids that your body can convert to energy faster than more common Long Chain Triglycerides. These fatty acids also aid in fat burning weight loss. This is done by increasing Ketone Production in the body.

What are Ketones? Our bodies normally run on glucose, that’s produced when the body breaks down carbohydrates. When your body doesn’t have enough glucose, or insulin to use the glucose, your body starts breaking down fats for energy. Ketones are byproducts of this breakdown. This is called putting your body in a state of Ketosis. This will cause your body to burn fat for energy over sugars.

Testosterone: Foods That Help Produce It, and Why You Want More of It

It seems like you can't listen to any radio station without hearing commercials for some drug that helps men with low testosterone .

But none of them seem to ask, why do all these men have low testosterone now? What has changed that has made males testosterone levels decrease? The answer lies in many areas including, diet, exercise and environment. To try and figure out how or why so many males testosterone levels are dropping, you must first look at how the body produces testosterone. In humans and most other animals, testosterone is produced primarily by the testicles in males, and to a lesser extent, the ovaries in females.

Food Is Fuel: Homemade Cashew Milk

This is the step by step process to making awesome Homemade Cashew Milk! Due to the increasing number of people with dairy allegories, and digestive issues. Milk alternatives such as soy, almond, coconut, and cashew milk's, are becoming more, and more popular. I have tried all of these milk alternatives, and my favorite by far was the Cashew Milk.
