I regularly make banana bread using the typical flour and butter recipe, so I was curious about the result of baking a Primal health paleo banana bread with coconut oil and coconut flour. The recipe has zero sugar, and the taste was better than any other banana bread I've had. Following on from my Interview With A Primal Health Coach (which you can read by clicking here), Michelle (the primal health coach) sent me a recipe from Family Food. Primal Health Paleo Banana Bread Recipe Ingredients 3/4 cup of coconut flour 3/4 cup of almond meal 1 cup of melted coconut oil and extra for greasing the pan 6 eggs 1/4 tsp vanilla bean powder ( I used extract) 2 tsp baking soda 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 tsp cinnamon 5 ripe bananas ( I used 4 as that's all I had) pinch of

I recently had a chat with Michelle, a primal health coach, owner of Santosha Wellbeing in Shell Harbour NSW, and yogi. Michelle is a widely respected wellness practitioner and advocate of primal health. During our chat, I asked Michelle a series of questions about primal health to share here on this page. What is primal health? Michelle: Primal health is a lifestyle; it’s not a diet; it’s much more than that. What I’ve found is that the word “diet” makes people feel scared about making changes to how they eat, or it puts people off, and then they approach change with a negative mindset. Primal health is, to an extent, living like our ancestors did without going out to hunt and gather. It involves eating food that is natural, unprocessed, things that our ancestors would have picked from a tree, pulled from the

Now that we’re coming out of our winter hibernation, it’s time to dust off winter and restore dry skin and glow. Low humidity indoors and out, regular use of heaters, bucket loads of hand sanitizer, over-cleansing, and scrubbing have contributed to a lot of dry skin in need of TLC. Here are a few fun facts about skin. It is the largest organ of the body, with a total area of about 20 square feet and has 3 layers. “The top layer is the epidermis, the skin's main protective barrier and the level where drying occurs. It consists of stacked layers of cells that are constantly in transition as younger, living cells rise from the lower part of the epidermis and eventually die and fall off after reaching the surface. This continuous cycle completely renews the skin about once a month.”

Hi, and welcome to The Coconut Store, your one-stop shop for nourishing and healthy coconut products for the pantry, skin, body, home, and pets. I am Reena, I am an everyday person seeking to live my best life by making healthy and better choices. I've found coconut products are a great addition to what I use, as well as a great alternative to some types of oils, flours and creams. I was born in Fiji, living there for only a short while, yet grew up with a lot of the cultural ways.  Coconuts were always in the house and used in many aspects of life - food, drink, hair oil, skin creams. It was the Fiji way of life. Wellness is a path I’ve found myself on for some time, starting with working in a spa environment and then learning about and understanding

Beauty is more than skin deep, and it turns out that having healthy skin is important for more than just creating a good impression. We live in an age of selfies and social media, where both men and women find themselves under a lot of pressure to present flawless skin to the world. Our skin is the largest organ in our body. In fact, it protects all of our internal organs from external threats like environmental pollutants, UV rays and microorganisms. According to the National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases, maintaining skin healthy means, you are protecting your body against germs as well as damage to your bones, muscles and internal organs. Besides keeping harmful microbes out and your body infection free, your skin also keeps fluids inside your body to prevent dehydration. Understanding the Importance of a Solid Skin Barrier How your

Why Is Natural Skin Care Better? Skin is your body’s largest organ and your protective barrier. However, that doesn’t mean it’s impervious or impenetrable. You must be aware of what you’re exposing it to, and natural skin care is critical. If you put dangerous ingredients on your skin, they get into your body — exactly where you don’t want them. Consider all the potential irritants that come in contact with your skin — chemical-laden personal hygiene products, fragrances, city-treated water, deodorant; the list goes on and on. Abiding by an organic skincare routine and natural skin care products will help your skin feel and look healthier. The Problem With Standard Skin Care Products The process of developing and putting a skin care product on the market is shrouded in mystery. You might think there are regulations to keep everyone honest, but, believe
