A NEW CHALLENGE

oil pulling

I’m always down for a detox, challenge or whatever. So starting today, I’ll be oil pulling for 30 days. It takes 20 minutes (TWENTY MINUTES) per day, in which you take a large bite of coconut oil and rinse your mouth with it for 20 minutes. Just like you would rinse your mouth with water when brushing your teeth. It’s not easy per se, but luckily you’re able to do other things in the process. As long as it doesn’t involve talking. You’re supposed to do it first thing in the morning when you get out of bed. Seeing as my boy isn’t a huge fan of my morning chatter or when I break into song, so I’m assuming he’s going to be all for this challenge. So why is this oil pulling good for you and what does it do? I’ll tell you what ‘they’ say and in a month time, I’ll tell you what I think of it. Are you in?

It’s very promising; detoxing, a faster metabolism, healthier gums, less dental plaque, shiny white teeth, more energy, less sickness, skin improvements, better sleep, less migraines and headaches, healthier bowels, less stomach pains and a lower blood pressure. Sounds amazing, doesn’t it?

During oil pulling (so when you rinse with coconut oil), all the bacteria in your mouth are extracted by the oil and then you spit it out. Your gums will be so shiny and clean after 30 days that you’ll pee out new bacteria straight away. So, a total body cleanse. We shall see.
