The Social Security earnings test. For Social Security recipients who will reach full retirement age after 2016, the first $15,720 in earnings are exempt. Above this amount, benefits will be reduced by $1 for every $2 in excess earnings. As an example, let's say that you're 63, and you earn $30,000 this year.
By satisfying your hunger better than any other fat can, coconut oil can keep painful heartburns from occurring. Though there are a number of factors that can bring about acid reflux, perhaps the most prevalent of all is poor diet habits, which includes overeating.
Coconut oil is about 90% saturated fat, which is a higher percentage than butter (about 64% saturated fat), beef fat (40%), or even lard (also 40%). Too much saturated fat in the diet is unhealthy because it raises bad LDL cholesterol levels, which increases the risk of heart disease. So it would seem that coconut oil would be bad news for our hearts. But what's interesting about coconut oil is that it also gives good HDL cholesterol a boost.
