Coconut
*Coconut oil contains short term medium-chain saturated fatty acids (MCFAs), which is a “healthy” form saturated fat compared to trans fat.
*Is easy to digest and also protects the body from insulin resistance.
*Just two tablespoons of coconut oil per day has shown to burned more kilojoules than those who consumes less.
*Stops sugar cravings, try eating a teaspoon of virgin coconut oil to beat sugar cravings, because good quality fat is more satiating than carbs!
You can enjoy coconut in so many ways now from beautiful yoghurts and ice-creams to cooking with coconut cream and milk and don’t forget dessicated and shredded as well.

Broccoli

*Has great fiber components to bind together with bile acids in your digestive tract (especially when steamed)
*Awesome for detoxification of the body
*Broccoli is a particularly rich source of a flavonoid called kaempferol. Helps lessen the impact of allergy-related substances on our body.Steamed or fresh in salads are a fantastic way to have your Broccoli, I love cutting it up in different ways to change the flavor and texture of it in my meals. -
