We all know brown rice is second to white rice in popularity but brown rice beats white rice for most nutrients! Brown rice has more nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. Swap out white rice for brown if you’re looking for weight loss, diabetes preventions, and a lower chance of heart disease. Cause, in the words of Mitch Hedberg, “Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.” It’s also great for heart health!

Coconut Oil
-Burn fat
-Boosts Energy
This ingredient barely made it onto the list so be cautious about overdoing coconut oil! Coconut oil’s lauric acid can increase LDL cholesterol but it also contains HDL cholesterol. If you remember, LDL cholesterol is the one we want less of however we want more HDL. The idiom elementary teachers use for glue, “a little dab will do ya,” certainly applies here! Coconut oil can be used in abundance externally, however, as many skin conditions can be treated with it.
