I pulled an excerpt from an article and once you read this, I will express my thoughts of “how to apply the oils of life, not only in our food but in our lives. I found this interesting to compare and I hope you see the similarities.
Here is the excerpt from http://www.machinerylubrication.com/Read/24100/lubrication-basics
Lubrication Basics
Many people believe that a lubricant is simply used to make things “slippery.” While it is the primary function, there are more advantages to using the right lubricant. In addition to friction reduction, it also reduces the amount of wear that occurs during operation, reduces operating temperatures, minimizes corrosion of metal surfaces, and assists in keeping contaminants out of the system. Lubricants have many properties that can be mixed and matched to meet your operating needs. For example, there are different chemicals that can be added to allow a machine to efficiently run at extreme temperatures. We can also make a lubricant more effective in protecting machine surfaces under extreme pressures. By looking at the demands of the machine, you can properly identify the type of lubricant best suited for its proper function.
Here is another excerpt from OLIVE OIL TIMES which shows how an oil can keep the body oiled and running smoother.
OLIVE OIL DIET REDUCES RISK OF TYPE 2 DIABETES
A study published in the scientific journal Diabetes Care showed that a Mediterranean style diet rich in olive oil reduced the risk of type II diabetes by almost 50 percent compared to a low fat diet. Type II diabetes is the most common and preventable form of diabetes.

3. Coconut Oil Can Help You Burn More Fat

Obesity is currently one of the biggest health problems in the world.
While some people think obesity is only a matter of calories, others (myself included) believe that the sources of those calories are critical too.
It is a fact that different foods affect our bodies and hormones in different ways. In this regard, a calorie is NOT a calorie.
The medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) in coconut oil can increase energy expenditure compared to the same amount of calories from longer chain fats (5, 6).
One study found that 15-30 grams of MCTs per day increased 24 hour energy expenditure by 5%, totalling about 120 calories per day (7).
Bottom Line: The medium chain triglycerides in coconut oil have been shown to increase 24 hour energy expenditure by as much as 5%, potentially leading to significant weight loss over the long term.
Please read these articles for some great tips and reasons for using olive and/or coconut oils whichever you prefer. I use both for different reasons. Here are my thoughts: We pay a lot of money to have our vehicles which we depend on to get us from point A to B and think very little about maintaining and spending the money. At the same time, we neglect our primary vehicle for getting around….Our Bodies! If we use the same principle and take the measures to keep our bodies oiled and primed, we can run for a lot of miles and years. We are only as good as we allow ourselves to be. Live Life; Love Life; Live and Love Life to the Fullest by taking care of our bodies, minds, and souls.
