Before we came to Fiji, one of my friends looked deeply into my eyes and said, "Coconut oil will completely change your life." I was not so sure at that point that I wanted to completely change my life, but decided to keep an open mind on the subject.
Most of us have read somewhere that coconuts can help you burn more calories, eat less, improve blood pressure, prevent infection, increase brain function and do just about anything short of marching around the room while playing a trumpet.
We would all agree that a coconut massage, scalp treatment, or using coconut body lotion is a heavenly experience. But I think we've found another very valuable use for coconut oil. It's the best temperature gauge around. Wondering if today is a bit cooler than yesterday. How solid is the bottle of coconut oil? Is it liquid? Whew - it's the hot season!
Yes, I guess coconut oil has changed my life. Now if I could just figure out a more graceful way to shimmy up that palm tree...
