Hey everyone about a few years ago my lovely mother told me about coconut oil and all of the AMAZING things it does for your body. Since then we have been using this. I eat this stuff every single day. I cook with it, I will throw some in a smoothie (you can’t taste it), I will put it on my salads & in my tea etc. You can even use it as a conditioner. There are so many health benefits to coconut oil. Just check out the list I made…
1. Prevents osteoporosis
2. Prevents weight gain, helps you to lose weight. Coconut Oil contains saturated fats but they are made up of medium chain triglycerides. This means the fats won’t store but instead act as a fuel to speed up your metabolism
3. Contains Amino Acids. Minerals such as potassium, magnesium, vitamin C and phosphorus.
4. Helps prevent wrinkles
5. Strengthens your immune system. Coconut oil contains monolaurin aka glyceryl laurate (converted into lauric acid) is found in breast Milk and helps strengthen the baby’s immune system.
6. You can use it as a conditioner. Helps with dandruff.
7. It is an anti-inflammatory.
8. Filled with antioxidants
9. Helps keep cholesterol low. Also helps prevention of colon cancer, heart disease, and bowel issues
10. Helps with Digestion
There are so many more wonderful things about coconut oil. Use it on a daily basis you will notice a difference.
