Need to detox? Try coconut oil

Add a tropical taste to your dishes this summer with this health-boosting oil

Coconut oil has fast become a store cupboard essential in our kitchens, but as it’s a fat, there is still debate about whether it is good for us. 

Pure virgin coconut oil is 92 per cent saturated fat, but compared with animal fats and butter, it does appear to have some impressive health benefits. As with all fats, though, it should be consumed in moderation – the NHS recommends no more than 20g saturated fat a day for women. One tablespoon of coconut oil is about 12g saturated fat.

Coconut oil is a blend of fatty acids known as short-chain and medium-chain triglycerides, and this unique combination is what provides its health benefits. When consumed, coconut oil is metabolised differently to other saturated fats; it passes straight to the liver from the digestive system, where it is used as a quick source of energy.

 It has also been shown to have a therapeutic benefit for brain disorders such as epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.

Medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) may also aid weight loss, as they can
boost metabolism and feelings of fullness, as well as stabilise blood sugars. The MCT lauric acid may also support the immune system, as it can help to kill harmful bacteria and viruses.

Coconut oil does not contain cholesterol, but it can increase both our LDL (bad) and HDL (good) cholesterol levels. 

A 2011 study indicated that coconut oil intake among pre-menopausal women was positively associated with HDL cholesterol 

and therefore may have some beneficial effects on blood lipid profiles. However, it was not significantly associated with LDL. 

So, all in all, a lot more research is needed into this little beauty, as its full benefits have not yet been discovered.

Chelsea Handler's bottomless selfie makes us feel uncomfortable (PHOTO)

So, it is no real shocker that her latest Insta post shows her in next to nothing again. But this time, it wasn't her nipples that were bared; she covered her downtown lady bits with some fruit — an apple, to be precise.

She captioned the awkward snap, "Look at my hair. Something must have happened while I slumbered."

While the comedienne has a penchant for going topless and we are all for her war with Instagram over their nudity policy, there is so much about this photo that is both awkward and uncomfortable.

There are just so many questions!

What is up with her facial expression? Why does she have an apple in her bathroom? Seriously, what is going on with her hair? What does she do to keep those rock-hard abs? Is that night cream on the counter? *Leans in close and almost puts nose on screen.* What kind is it?

I would assume most would consider this photo a tad more risqué than a simple nip pic, but it should more than meet Instagram’s strict guidelines regarding nudity. So, brava to Handler for expertly pulling off another blow to the ridiculous rules and for her epic use of photo props.

Echoing many of her fans, I think we can safely say most of us want to be Chelsea Handler when we grow up.

As much as I love the normal girly gifts, especially jewelry, I think it was so much better this year for Dan to help the kids focus on giving me something they made themselves. It really is much more from the heart and means so much more than a purchase from the mall. There are enough other occasions through the year for that still.

The one thing that really stood out watching the new premiere episode of our second season is how much the kids have changed. When you are with them every day, you notice little things and little moments sometimes, but when you stand back and watch like we are blessed to be able to do, you really notice how grown-up and outgoing the girls are. Jack is really a young man now, and although he has child moments, you really are starting to see how intelligent, thoughtful and even funny he has become.

Bounce authors explain how they treat all those steamy sex scenes in the book

The girls' final installment of the Boomerang series, Bounce, comes out today, and for the first time in the trilogy, they navigate new territory: that of the enigmatic younger man.

Skyler Canby is a 22-year-old cellist trying to make her way in Los Angeles as a musician when she lands the starring role in a hot new romance film. Grey Blackwood is her audition partner — a fellow musician and general go-to guy for his brother the film executive, Adam.

When Skyler and Grey kiss as part of the audition, sparks fly, but Grey is only 19. Skyler can't have a romantic attachment to an immature younger guy, can she? No matter how sexy he is.

Bounce is part of a super popular genre, hot right now, called New Adult. Rossi explained, "The genre focuses on the stage of life that occurs after high school, into the early 20s. Characters are often in college and have more independence than in Young Adult novels, but they're still trying to find their way in the world."

More: New Adult vs. Young Adult: What’s the difference?

Oberweger said, "Writing about characters who are more fully entering the adult world, engaging in love relationships with greater acknowledgment of its physical expression, dealing with who they want to be — creatively and professionally — is truly compelling."

She's right. Skyler and Grey are both just growing up, really. Skyler, for instance, feels the pressures of being thinner and thinner to make it in Hollywood. Grey feels the pressure of trying to live up to his family's (and his self-imposed) expectations.

Rossi admits she didn't want to make the body image stuff too heavy-handed. Instead, her intentions with taking on Hollywood were further-reaching. She said, "If the story was meant to 'teach' something, it would really be about being enough — realizing that your beauty is not dictated by outside constructs unless you buy into that. And realizing that your worth isn't dictated by your acts, only, but by who you are. And that who you are is perfect and enough."

More: Author challenges literary world to publish only female writers for a year

What's perfect about Bounce? The sexual tension. With the Young Adult genre, authors have to tiptoe around steamy content. According to Oberweger, not so in New Adult. "Veronica and I agree on the basics of treating sex with candor and sensitivity, making sure a sex scene does as much work as any other scene in the story, and focusing those scenes on character emotions, first and foremost. We want readers to think the scenes are hot and also to be moved."

Speaking of hot, let's take a moment to admire Grey Blackwood, our young male lead. He's a hard rocker, but he's a vulnerable disaster, too. "For me," Rossi said, "his real sexiness stems from his passion. He lives hard; he does everything full-tilt. I admire that. I find that kind of energy and confidence really attractive. People like that make you pay attention."

Oberweger continued, "I responded so much to Grey because he was a bit more of a mess than the others, because he did more stumbling — and, as Veronica remarked, he did it with gusto."

Although the ladies worked together to write Bounce, they didn't have the chance to hang out often during the course of writing. They wrote together from across the country, emails flying. However, they did have time to invent a drink while developing Bounce, called the Maverick, which, in Rossi's words, is "highly memorable."

More: The next big thing for YA: Is dystopian dead?

Now that the Boomerang series has come to a close, Rossi has a two-book Young Adult series coming up, with the first book, Riders, launching in February. She said, "It's a modern-day fantasy about four teens who unwittingly become incarnations of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. It's got action, romance and general hilarity." Oberweger will continue to do what she does and rock life like a Choose Your Own Adventure book.

Now, enjoy a tease from Bounce, out today (reprinted courtesy of HarperCollins Publishers).

Why We Must Protect Healthy Dietary Guidelines from Political Interference

There are few tasks more important in creating a healthy community across the United States than creating environments in which all of us, especially children, have healthy diets and plenty of opportunity to exercise. Yet a recent U.S. government report that clearly outlines steps to achieve this goal is being subject to political scrutiny and an attempt to stop its implementation. Why? Because the food lobby does not like it.

It is time to stand up for science and evidence-based guidelines to help stop obesity and poor health in our population, especially in our children.

Every five years, a committee called the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee is established by the government to consider how best to help Americans have a healthier diet and food environment.

This committee, on which I served for the past two years, is charged with advising the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services on establishing guidelines on which the nutritional criteria for federal programs including the National School Lunch Program and the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) are based.

The recent report this committee issued emphasizes the sound science and extensive research supporting a healthy diet that includes more fruits and vegetables than Americans, including children, commonly consume. For the first time, our committee suggested that we consider supporting diets lower in meat intake in favor of more seafood, fruits and vegetables while continuing ample dairy intake. We described a variety of healthy eating patterns that along with exercise and outdoor activity can help reverse the obesity epidemic we currently face as a nation. We also addressed the need to ensure that foods are raised or grown in a healthy environment that supports our long-term needs. The next generation matters to all of us.

We did not recommend that individuals become vegetarians, that meat be eliminated from any feeding programs or that environmental concerns become the key driver in nutrition policy. The guidelines give multiple choices on building a healthy diet and do not indicate that any foods must be eliminated from the diet.

Of course, not everyone agrees with these recommendations. The meat industry does not like suggestions to increase fruit and vegetable consumption and decrease meat intake. But considerable evidence supports those changes, while allowing meat in the diet.

It is no surprise that some people don't like being told that we need to rethink how we eat and how we feed our children in schools. What is surprising and disappointing is that members of the food industry lobbying groups have prevailed upon the House and Senate appropriations committees to include "policy riders" in the proposed legislation that would severely limit the recommendations that can be included in the final guidelines. In fact, some have suggested that the government stop making dietary recommendations completely.

It is critical that we recognize a threat to the process by which scientific groups -- in a fair and established fashion -- evaluate science and make recommendations for a healthy diet, a healthy lifestyle for children and adults, as well as for a healthy planet. If this process can be blocked by Congress at the behest of food industry lobbyists, and if each recommendation is debated as part of a legislative rather than a scientific process, we will end up with nothing to guide consumers and the government in order to improve the health of the population, including children.

When science is subject to the political whims of Congress, no one wins. What is needed and demanded by pediatricians and families is the best available evidence. Where we may be lacking in the ideal nutritional science for adults, we are even more constrained by what we know for infants and young children. We must support the efforts of the Food and Drug Administration to educate consumers about what is in food, including added sugar.

Subjecting science to political whims sends a troubling message to those engaged in helping to enhance the health of our population -- that political whims, not science, are the drivers of what is fed in schools and other government-supported programs. Our health and that of our children hangs in the balance.

Cutting public spending on the old is not the answer to youth crisis

Young people’s falling long-term economic prospects are not down to older people in society hoarding all the wealth, and will not be improved by cutting pensioner benefits to fund more public spending on young people, according to a new TUC report which draws on analysis by researchers from the University of Bristol.

Jessa Duggar's latest Instagram post looks like it's directed at Josh

More: Why the Duggars are way worse role models than the Kardashians

The reality star and sister of Josh Duggar posted a pretty poignant image to her Instagram Sunday, showing a Bible passage that sounds an awful lot like it may be directed toward her errant brother.

“If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth,” it reads. “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.”

Sounds like some appropriate advice for Josh, who has admitted to quite the string of sins lately.

The verse in the post continues, “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”

Josh, who admitted in May that he molested a number of underage girls as a teenager, including Jessa and at least one other of his sisters, admitted Aug. 20 to cheating on his wife as well.

“I am so ashamed of the double life that I have been living and am grieved for the hurt, pain and disgrace my sin has caused my wife and family, and most of all Jesus and all those who profess faith in Him,” he wrote in a statement on the Duggar family website, also calling himself "the biggest hypocrite ever."

Jessa, who is expecting her first child with husband Ben Seewald, has kept quiet since Josh's latest admission of transgressions, and she makes no indication this passage was directed at him — though the timing and subject matter seem a little too pointed to be coincidental.

Female jogger has best response ever to guy who fat-shamed her

Lindsey, 26, was out running with her boyfriend last week when a guy driving a van sang Mika’s "Big Girl (You Are Beautiful)" to her — in a sarcastic tone, she says.

The Barnsley lass posted her response to him on her Facebook page on Friday, introducing it as "an open letter to the idiot who thought it was ok to heckle me with fat jokes on my run yesterday".

"Your comment was a clear indication of both your incredibly witty repartee and a feat of observational comedy," Lindsey continued. Ooh, the sarcasm — love it.

More: Pink just slammed body-shamers in a hilarious but positive way

"I am indeed a big girl, and I am indeed beautiful," declared Lindsey. "Thanks for noticing. I'm not sure who you were telling I was fat, you clearly have eyes, and the only other people present were me and my boyfriend. I assure you that despite your concern I do own a mirror, and my boyfriend has seen my fat body as he too has eyes. Don't tell anyone but I think he might even like it."

Lindsey goes on to point out that someone with less body-confidence than her might find fat-shaming comments from "idiots" difficult to take, and this could stop them from running.

Her confidence and lust for life leaps off the page as you read her post, and it's so refreshing.

"Let me make one thing very clear, I am not ashamed of my body," she stated. "It has never stopped me from doing anything I want. My fat body has done things that you, hanging out of the window of your babe-magnet white van could only ever dream of. My fat body has been swimming in crystal clear Thai seas that you have probably only ever seen on TV. It has lived in countries you wouldn't dream of visiting and been a part of cultures you are too small minded to appreciate. My fat legs have carried me up mountains on more than one occasion. My fat brain speaks languages you probably don't see the point of learning, which is why you spend your time hanging out of van windows since you have nothing better to occupy it with."

Lindsey also revealed that she recently decided to get fit, her current goal is to run 10k, and she's already lost a stone. "It baffles me that anyone would try to discourage that kind of effort," she writes, adding: "Excuse me if my assumptions about you are wrong, but I only have your actions to go by."

She concludes her letter with forgiveness, encouragement for anyone else who has a goal ("fat or thin") and some spot-on advice for the van driver: "Engage your brain before opening your mouth."

Just brilliant. And this is one of the things I love about social media. It gives us all a platform to say our piece. How many times does something happen to us — whether it's being catcalled or something else entirely — and we don't have the time, energy or desire to respond as we'd like to at that precise moment? Who knows if this particular Mika-loving van driver has read Lindsey's letter, or if he ever will. It doesn't matter, because thousands of other people have, and hopefully at least some of them will think twice before body-shaming another person.

How to make it work when you and your partner both work from home

If you and your significant other both work from home, however, you're likely dealing with a whole other set of issues. My fiancée and I are both freelancers and thus often find ourselves plugging away on our separate projects in the same 900-square-foot apartment. While you might think it would be nice to work in close proximity to the person you love, it's usually more irritating than anything else.

However, that being said, we've come up with some ways to make it tolerable without storming out on the relationship. Here are the seven problems we encounter on a daily basis, and the solutions we've worked out after much trial and error (AKA yelling and screaming).

More: Impressive traits that make women great freelancers

1. Your work rhythms clash

Image: Giphy

My fiancée does video production, and he likes to do yoga at 6 a.m. before jumping into editing. I, on the other hand, am a writer, and don't usually get my workday started until 8:15. That means he usually wants to take a break and talk to me right when I'm starting to get serious. Needless to say, this is irritating for me, and subsequently sad for him.

Solution: If I'm really in a groove and see him walking toward me, I shake my head, and he knows to leave me be. However, if I can take a moment, I smile at him and we chat for a couple of minutes.

2. Phone calls

Image: Giphy

Every time my guy has to make a long work call, I'm in the middle of a writing tear, and I cannot concentrate with any conflicting ambient noise.

Solution: Either he takes a walk around the park during the call or, if he needs to be near a computer, I go to the local coffee shop and deal with the less offensive ambient noise there.

3. No conference room

Image: Giphy

We live in a small two-bedroom in Brooklyn, that really should've been labeled a one and a half bedroom. We use the half as an office, but it's absolutely not big enough for a meeting of more than two people (even that's pushing it). So again, my work is compromised because he needs to use the living room as his "conference room."

Solution: He tries to keep meetings to conference calls, but if he absolutely must meet a group in person, he rents out a temporary conference room space through WeWork.

4. Brainstorm barnstorm

Image: Giphy

So this one isn't always a problem, but sometimes, I like to bounce ideas off my sig-o when I'm working on a particularly challenging piece. Usually, he can give me a couple of minutes, but I often feel like I'm interrupting him.

Solution: He closes the door to the office (where he usually works) if he doesn't want to be interrupted. In which case, I call a friend or my mom to work out my ideas.

5. Home stuff gets in the way

Image: Giphy

The great thing about going somewhere other than home to work is that you are literally taking yourself out of home issues for the day. However, if you both work from home, these issues are all around you and can easily become your focus, especially if one person loves to organize with a partner (me).

Solution: Put a reminder for yourself in your phone and have it go off when you usually set work aside for the day. Unlike work, home improvements don't have pressing deadlines.

More: 6 Non-scammy ways to work from home

6. The impulse to be "couple-y" is strong

Image: Giphy

If your sig-o is just in the other room, it's tempting to run in and love on him/her every once in a while or show him/her something cute or funny you found online. However, I find this can get out of hand and can become annoying to the person trying to work.

Solution: A kiss a couple of times a day is fine, but if you find yourself getting gooey every hour, you should try reining it in for the sake of being productive.

7. The line between work time and home time gets fuzzy

Image: Giphy

Since we both have jobs that aren't on the nine-to-five clock, it's sometimes difficult to know when to put our projects away for the day. Usually, what happens is one of us is done with work long before the other, which leads to major frustration because now couple-time is being compromised.

Solution: Make sure you both agree on a mutual end-of-day time. If someone needs to go over, make sure your sig-o is aware ahead of time so they can plan accordingly (e.g. watch the latest Orange Is the New Black).

5 Fun Ways to Workout With a Partner

It seems like almost everyone is getting involved in some form of group exercise today. On any given day, you can find people exercising together -- whether via a running club, bootcamp group, group fitness class or even just dedicated workout partners or couples helping each other stay fit -- more and more people are embracing community fitness.

And while it's no mystery that having a workout partner or group can help keep you motivated and accountable, its actually proven that people who workout with a buddy are more effective than those who workout alone. In fact, a recent Stanford University study shows that people who simply receive a check-in phone call that asked about progress every two weeks increased the amount of exercise participants did by 78 percent on average.

While there are a few superhumans out there that don't need any outside motivation to keep them on track or to help them push themselves, for most of us having a workout partner is a guaranteed benefit -- and something that can drastically impact our results.

So whether you already have a dedicated fitness buddy who keeps you motivated or want to start working out with friends, here are some fun moves you can use to exercise with a partner that will give you an awesome overall body workout!

Partner Burpees
Have your partner get down on the floor into a plank. Stand on the right side of your partner's chest, squat down and place your hands down flat on the floor. Jump your feet back and extend your legs to end in a plank position. Do one pushup, then jump your feet back towards your hands. Jump up into the air with your hands reaching up as high as you can go. Jump over your partner (who is still holding high plank) and repeat on the left side. Try alternating sides for 30 seconds, and then switch positions with your partner.

Partner wall squats (use your partner as the wall)
Stand a couple feet away from each other with your backs turned towards one another. Squat down and then lean into each other's backs. Try to bring the booties low, working the thighs towards parallel to the ground. By using your partner as your "wall," you'll get in a more dynamic wall squat, engaging both your core and quads to keep you stable. Hold for 30 seconds to one minute. It does help if you and your partner are close to the same height.

Partner push-ups (clap a hand in between)
Get down into a plank position facing your partner with about a two-feet distance between yourselves. Keep your elbows in at your sides as your bring your chest down towards the floor, going down as far as you can. Then push through your arms to bring chest and body back up into the starting plank position. Now shift your upper body weight to your left hand as you lift and reach your right hand to clap your partner's right hand. Do as many as you both can within one minute, switching sides each time.

Wheelbarrows
Start out in a plank position. Your partner will stand at your feet, reach down to grab your ankles, and then stand back up. Now you're in an incline plank position. As you walk forward with your hands, engage your core and glutes. And keep your eyes focused on the end point so your head stays up. Take ten steps forward at your own pace, and have your partner follow while still holding onto your ankles. Then switch with your partner.

Sit-ups with ball (partner throws, other partner does sit-ups)
Lay down on the floor on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor, in classic sit-up position. Have your partner stand facing you with their feet/toes gently on top of yours to prevent you from lifting your feet. Take the ball in your hands and hold it to the chest. Squeeze your abs as you pull your upper body up towards your knees, and as you come up, throw the ball to your partner. Before you lean yourself back to the floor. your partner will throw the ball back to you. Repeat as many times as you can within one minute. Then switch.

Working out with a partner keeps us motivated and accountable for our workouts and also inspires us to challenge ourselves and work a little harder. So why not grab a partner and get sweaty?

Sesame broccoli slaw doesn't need mayo to be delicious

Thank goodness because this gorgeous vegetable is a powerhouse of nutrients. It's great for digestion, your cardiovascular system and immune system, and has anti-inflammatory and cancer-preventing properties. Superfood, indeed.

This perfectly cut broccoli? It's from my grocery store. Initially, I whipped out the mandoline to do it all from scratch; but then I remembered that I like my fingers, so I put it away. Side note: Kitchen mandolines are lethal.

To pump things up a bit more, I added a nice helping of store-bought matchstick carrots and a few sliced radishes to this awesomely healthy slaw. Toasted almonds and sesame seeds joined the party, as well as rice vinegar and oil.

Pair this side dish with a grilled meat for a fantastic family meal, or just eat it as is. Forks optional.
