Natural coconut oil - not the hydrogenated version often found in processed foods - is a saturated fat. But it isn’t like the kind your doctor warns you about. Research has shown that this unique oil has curative agents and possesses numerous health benefits.
Studies all over the world show us that coconut oil is one of the healthiest types of oil. it is rich in lauric acid, which has antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal properties; contains no trans fat (even olive oil has some trans fat); and boosts the immune system. This may be news to you, but this tasty, great-smelling oil can:
- Reduce your risk of heart disease
- Help you lose unwanted weight
- Improve the condition of diabetic patients
- Help relieve chronic fatigue and digestive disorders, such as Crohn‘s disease and irritable bowel syndrome
- Help boost your daily energy level
- Prevent infectious diseases
- Promote healthy thyroid function
- Rejuvenate your skin and help prevent wrinkles
