There’s no telling what your dogs’ feet are exposed to as they’re trudging over various surfaces all day. Concrete, soil, dirt, rocks, sludge, waste...sure. But also chemicals, contaminants, and allergens that are maybe not as evident to the naked eye. Now our pets’ paws are tough, built to sustain them through all manner of environments. But sometimes, even they need some looking after. Rough surfaces and substances can cause their paws to dry up and crack, maybe even bleed. If left unattended, it’s not only uncomfortable for your pal but can lead to infections.

Coconut oil is a versatile ingredient in your kitchen and house and people have found a number of uses for it. It can be helpful for your pets, incorporated into your beauty regimen, and mixed into some delicious healthy treats. In fact, it has recently become a preferred cooking oil for health-conscious families. In large part, this is down to the many claims around its health benefits, including coconut oil’s impact on cholesterol levels, weight-loss and so on. There tends to be a fair amount of back and forth regarding this and research isn’t definitive. It certainly offers some health benefits vis-a-vis other cooking oils, such as soybean or sunflower. However, in this blog, we’ll simplify some of the information surrounding coconut oil and help you understand its impact on your health.

The almond is one of nature’s little wonders. Technically the “seed” of a tree, it’s filled with nutritious goodness and considered a superfood even. An ounce of almonds contains 180 calories, six grams of protein, 14 grams of heart-friendly fat and as much calcium as a ¼ cup of milk. Almonds help lower LDL or bad cholesterol in the body and are packed with magnesium, potassium and vitamin E. They help nutrients and oxygen move freely within the blood and are generally good for the heart.  

Packed with essential nutrients, heart-healthy fats, and cancer-fighting fiber, nuts and seeds are the ultimate superfoods. You can eat these crunchy treats alone as snacks, sprinkle them on your morning cereal, or add them to simple recipes to make gourmet meals. Nuts are nutrient-dense and versatile, making them among the most expensive yet versatile foods in the world.
