Side effect of Coconut oil - Is it safe to eat coconut oil ?

Coconut oil has been known as one of the good healthy foods and I also thought so until recently. There are many benefits to eat coconut oil and what was good for me and my husband were * Get high energy * Improve bowel movements * Anti aging * Get glossy hair * Get smooth lighter skin I was always using virgin coconut oil ( about 45g for six large muffins ) when making blueberry muffins since 2013 ( about 8 years ago ). and it's mainly for my husband because he loves it and he was eating one each for lunch every day. It was no problem until recently. He was also putting the coconut oil into his coffee sometimes and when he was drinking coconut oil coffee, his skin looked young. However since a few months ago he noticed that whenever he was drinking coffee with coconut oil , he got insomnia. He has several other foods which make him insomnia when he eats at night time , such as pumpkin, red pepper but did not realize coconut oil was also a problem with it.      Besides t...

  Recently, my husband and I have been enjoying listening to the punk rock music band " The offspring" 's new album " Let the bad times roll " which was just released on April 16' 2021.        Their music is an interesting collage of punk mixed with other styles of music, sometimes mixed with hard rock and metal.   https://www.top-charts.com/r/let-the-bad-times-roll-the-offspring      This album is awesome !    I'm so happy to find great new music.    " Let the bad times roll " is my favorite song so far but I love all the songs in this album.        This next one is a mixture of Classical music ( "Grieg" ) arranged in a punk rock style.  " In The Hall of the Mountain King " is creative and interesting.          " Behind Your Walls"        "Army of One"    I haven't listened to popular music since a long time ago so I didn't know what kin...

Orchids bloomed again !

      I am so happy to see the orchid that was a gift from my husband in my last birthday ( Last July ),   bloomed again recently. When we got it, I was searching about how to take care of orchid plants online and followed what it said.    and also bought " all purpose plant food " for it  and gave it to the orchid. However within a few weeks, the flower started dying one after the other, so I stopped giving it , but maybe it was too late?  it all died soon except the leaves . All the leaves looked fine and was still shining so I kept it and  was giving small amount of water once every 10 days. It was about 7 month ago,  and  I didn't expect it will bloom again, so it's so wonderful to see it bloomed beautifully again ! I was just giving only normal tap water every 10 days or once a week , and never gave special plant foods since all the flowers died and came off,    then about 6 month later I saw three buds...

Here are my favorite cats in Youtube videos in 2020.

She has a unique tail which is called Kinked Tail , which is believed to bring good fortune.   Not sure the kitten's accurate age and birth date but the animal doctor said she was less than 2 months old. According to his Youtube video, one day,  Taipii got a phone call from an ...

Happy New Year 2021 !

    Happy New year ! 2020 was a really strange, unforgettable year for us and we suppose for everyone.   Because so many unusual things had happened.  I was feeling like  " is it real ?    it's a joke, right ?   " Coronavirus problem is still there in most places in the world, so people can not go travel abroad easily. and have to wear face mask when going out. Last year,  there was mass hoarding of basic necessities  ( such as toilet papers, tissues, paper towels ),  Lock-down,  Working at home, etc ... I suppose it's a big changing year , generation shifts.   As the next Jupiter-Saturn conjunction (21 December 2020) marks an elemental shift (or mutation) from earth to air.
