Does oil pulling increase metabolism?
On One Hand: Yes, Says InventerAccording to OilPulling.com, pulling oil increases the overall health of the body, which leads to an increased metabolism, amongst other claims. It is the improved metabolism that allows oil pulling to remove toxins from the body and increase your lifespan to up to 150 years.On the Other: Claims UnfoundedThe U.S. Food and Drug Administration has yet to approve of oil pulling or oil pulling related products. In addition, oil pulling has little scientific basis for improving metabolism. The body can sufficiently remove toxins from itself without oil pulling.Bottom LineOil pulling is unlikely to improve your metabolism or help you lose weight. Increasing metabolism requires you to exercise more often and eat right.
