Raw Revolution Bars

I just recently tried Raw Revolution bars and have to say I like them.  I like that they contain no soy, are organic and are made of mostly raw ingredients.  I also like that many bars contain coconut.  My local health food store sells them for just over $2.00 a piece but you can get them at Vitacost.com in boxes of 12 for only $20.33 or less than $1.70 per bar.

On days when I have an early workout I will have one in the morning well over an hour before my workout.  As an added bonus, I spread some coconut oil on it for added energy and flavor.  It keeps me satisfied during my workout - even high intensity ones.

Coconuts Can Save Your Life?

As you may know from reading my blog, I am a big fan of coconuts especially coconut oil which is perhaps the most versatile oil in the world.  It is one of the most stable oils for cooking at high temperatures or can be used as a moisturizer or hair conditioner. Some people use it as a deodorant since it has antibacterial and anti-fungal properties.  It also tastes great over sweet corn on the cob and over veggies but did you know these facts about coconuts?


COCONUTS CAN SAVE YOUR LIFE
by Jeremy Safron (www.lovingfoods.com)

  • The coconut is one of the greatest gifts of this planet.
  • Coconuts are a prehistoric plant which can survive many months floating at sea.
  • The coconut is a natural water filter that takes almost 9 months to filter each liter of water. The water travels through many fibers being purified where it is stored away STERILE in the nut itself.
  • This coconut water is pure clear and is one of the highest sources of electrolytes known to man.
  • Coconut water is identical to human blood plasma which makes it the universal donor. Plasma makes up 55% of human blood. By drinking coconuts we give ourselves a instant blood transfusion.
  • Many peoples lives have been saved in 3rd world countries by the coconut IV.
  • Coconuts in their young stage of growth are the most health enhancing.
  • Drink at least one a day (I drink 5 or 6).
  • Coconuts are a great blood purifier.
