3 "Liquid Gold" Oils to Stockpile in Your Healthy Man Cave 🏰

Ahoy there, mate! 🏴‍☠️

Just like King Solomon stockpiled oils of frankincense and myrrh to keep his Temple pristine...

YOU need to keep your body's "temple" in tip-top shape with the right cooking oils in your man cave. 🙏

See, most guys cook with oils that SUFFOCATE their organs with inflammation. 🔥

Canola, soybean, corn oil - avoid 'em like the plague! ☠️ 🦠

These "Pirate Oils" swim with artery-clogging trans fats... that make your heart walk the plank. [1][2] 💔

But have no fear, Captain Jack Oil is here… sorry Johnny 🦸‍♂️

To share the 3 "Liquid Gold" oils that FORTIFY your body's defenses against disease:

1. Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO) 🫒

EVOO is LOADED with heart-shielding polyphenols and oleic acid. [3][4] 🛡️

Just 2 tbsp per day can slash heart disease risk by a whopping 28%! [5][6][7] 📉

Here's the recommended daily intake for optimal benefits:

• Extra Virgin Olive Oil: 2-4 tablespoons (28-56 grams) [21] ✅

And its low 350°F smoke point makes it best for dressings or low-heat cooking. [28] 🥗

For a Mediterranean EVOO feast... whisk it with balsamic vinegar, minced garlic, salt & pepper. Toss with greens, veggies and grilled chicken. Aye aye, delicious! [9] 😋

2. Avocado Oil 🥑

Like a faithful first mate... avocado oil defends your vision with lutein and KO's inflammation with oleic acid. [10][11][12] 👊

One study even found it boosts memory and focus! [13] 🧠

The recommended daily amount is:

• Avocado Oil: 1-2 tablespoons (14-28 grams) [22] ✅

And with a mega high 500°F smoke point, it's ideal for grilling, roasting and frying. [29] 🔥

To harness its powers, marinate chicken, fish or veggies in this mix for 30 min before cooking:

• 1/4 cup avocado oil

• Juice of 1 lime 🍋

• 1 tsp cumin

• 1/2 tsp salt & chili powder 🌶️ Yo ho ho! 🏴‍☠️

3. Coconut Oil 🥥

This tropical treasure is packed with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs)... that can keelhaul belly fat [16] 🔥 and lauric acid to reinforce your immunity. [17][18] 🛡️

Aim for this much per day:

• Virgin Coconut Oil: 1-2 tablespoons (14-28 grams) [23] ✅

Its 350°F smoke point makes it great for baking or medium-heat sautéing. [30] 🍳

For guilt-free snacking, here's a simple recipe:

• Melt 1 tbsp coconut oil

• Drizzle over air-popped popcorn 🍿

• Sprinkle with sea salt 🧂 Shiver me timbers, it's good! [20] 😋

So there ye have it, matey. ⚓

3 "Liquid Gold" oils to help you navigate the high seas of health. ⛵

Stock your galley with EVOO, avocado and coconut oils...

And watch your body THRIVE. [15] 💪

To confirm you're getting enough healthy fats, ask your doc to test: [25][26][27]

• Lipid panel (cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL) 💉

• Omega-3 fatty acids 🐟

• Fatty acid profile 📊

• C-reactive protein (inflammation) 🔥

• Vitamin E levels 💊

Smooth sailing,
