http://www.yogabodynaturals.com Bikram Yoga – YOGABODY’s Lucas Rockwood explains how to pick and consume healthy oils.
YOGA FOOD & FLEXIBILITY
Best sources for healthy fats for yogis: - olives - avocados - raw nuts and seeds - durian - cold-press oils in dark bottles
“Buying good oil is like buying good wine!” - oil should be stored in a DARK bottle - all polyunsaturated fats MUST be in the refrigerator at all times (including flax oil, sesame oil, hemp seed oil, sunflower, and safflower) - 90% of oils on the grocery store shelves ARE polyunsaturated and SHOULD NOT be consumed (they are rancid) - animal fats (butter, cream, meat) has proven to be very dangerous to your health, particularly your heart - vegetable fats (ONLY when cold-pressed and properly cared for) are extremely healthy and contain no cholesterol

I made a bunch of yoga videos you might be interested in too. Plus, I have a free email newsletter and a bunch of other resources all based on nutrition, flexibility, and yoga. Bikram Yoga
