Medical and health researchers are telling the public today to use olive and coconut oils for health purposes. The following steps will help you understand the uses for coconut and olive oils, both how and why, and let you know what they can do for your health.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Do your research and find that the experts are changing their tune about coconut oil. Yes, it is a saturated fat, but saturated fats are good fats. Trans fats and hydrogenated fats are the dangerous culprits in the American diet.

  2. Step 2

    Study about the antimicrobial benefits of coconut oil, heart enhancers of olive oil, and the balancing and utilization of carbohydrates by both oils.

  3. Step 3

    Use coconut oil to cook with because it can take the heat better than olive oil.

  4. Step 4

    Bake with coconut oil instead of the soy, canola and vegetable cooking oils from the market.

  5. Step 5

    Fry with coconut oil, taking advantage of its many health benefits as outlined at the web sites of the Weston Price Institute and the Georgetown University laboratory (see Resources below).

  6. Step 6

    Put olive oil on all your salads, in your dressings and all the foods you prepare that you don't cook.

  7. Step 7

    Soon your skin will gain a new softness and resilience, your immune system will be stronger, and you'll be able to go for longer periods of time without eating, being satisfied and feeling full.
