So you read the title of our post, how much oil do I need a day? We have gotten some information that might surprise you. To help your brain and body function properly you need 4 Tablespoons of "good" oil a day. Some recommended kinds are, olive oil, coconut oil, flax oil, hemp seed oil, almond, walnut and pecan oils.
We have started putting coconut oil in our morning smoothies and also melting it with cocoa powder and a pinch of xylatoil and freezing for a afternoon pick me up. Other ways to get oil in to your diet is by eating lots of salad, and also using it on grilled cheese for lunch instead of butter.
Now you tell us by voting on the poll, what's your favorite type of oil?
Check back next week for some more ways to make your life a little more healthy!

P.S. One last thing, you can not have more than 2 tablespoons of oil at once as it defeats the purpose of helping your body:) So try and spread it out over your whole day!
