Why everyone should eat & use coconut oil.

in health •  8 years ago 

In the modern days of trans- and saturated-fats & cardiovascular disease, Coconut Oil has gotten more popular than ever for both edible and topical uses. Here's some ways you can benefit from a little coco love:

  • Topically applying coco-oil improves skin & hair strength and also has anti-microbial properties that can kill bacteria.

  • Eating only 1 tablespooon a day can improve your body's metabolism and help you lose weight.

  • The fats in coconut oil can help boost "good" HDL cholesterol in your body, and convert "bad" LDL cholesterol into healthier forms.

  • Medium-chain triglycerides in coconut oil can prevent Alzheimer's disease later in life.

Coconut oil is always good to skin allergies and our health. My friend is using too!

I'm an avid user of coconut oil.

  • I use it to watch my face, hair, body as a body wash.
  • Then use the oil as moisturizer
  • I also add 1 tea spoon to my cup of tea daily for internal benefits

Coconut oil is absolutely amazing, I'm glad you wrote this.

@hotandrandom I use coconut oil or coconut oil blended with olive oil , whatever is handy. (I don't produce my own coconujt oil or olive oil and I buy a few glass containers of each when I purchae. Often I create 50:50 blends.) I use it in my hair and on my skinas a sealer protector, sunscreen. I use it on food when I want to increase (or simply introduce) fat. I even use it (singly or blended with olive oil) occassionally to clean my face and my teeth. I love it! And I am lucky enough to consume 2 to 6 coconuts--water and meat-- every 4 weeks so I am ingesting the oil that way, too.

My family use coconut oil and enjoy drinking coconut water.

Love using my coconut oil. My hair, skin and cooking, loves it!

I don't like the word "should", but yes...coconut oil rocks.
