Coconut Oil And Its Many Benefits

Coconut oil has got to be the most versatile natural product out there! It has gotten

a bad rap in the past and despite what you may have heard, it is actually one of the most stable oils available! Coconut oil is one of the healthiest oils you can consume, the safest beauty product on the market, and the only topical "medicine" you really need in your medicine cabinet!

Coconut oil has been used in foods and medicine in the tropics for centuries. These people have virtually no degenerative disease in their cultures; no cancer, no heart disease or clogged arteries, and no arthritic conditions. Coconut oil is quickly metabolized and does not turn to fat in the body. How awesome is that? It actually metabolizes so efficiently that it raises your metabolism enabling the body to burn more fat while giving you loads of energy!

Coconut oil is about 50% lauric acid; that's the good stuff in mother's milk which is in fact, the only other known good source of lauric acid. This is the stuff responsible for coconut oil's amazing antiviral, antifungal, and antibacterial properties and it is just as effective for your inner parts as it is for your outer parts. Just a few tablespoonfuls a day can help stave off colds, flus, and many other viruses and bacteria. I enjoy adding a tablespoonful to teas and warm cacao-almond milk. This not only provides me with amazing health benefits, but it creates a frothy latte kind of experience. Truth be told, daily I eat a few tablespoons right out of the jar. When a sweet craving strikes, I add a bit of coconut nectar and cinnamon to a scoop of coconut oil and enjoy the cool rich sweet flavor.

Coconut oil can be used topically for things like ring worm, diaper rash, athletes' foot, thrush, and jock itch. Not only does it provide some relief; coconut oil actually attacks and kills the fungus/yeast responsible for these conditions. Coconut oil prevents free-radical formation and may even offer protection against the sun's harmful rays as it is literally absorbed right into the cell structure of skin and connective tissue. It may even restore and rejuvenate damaged skin making it a great salve for all kinds of skin irritations from rashes to scrapes to bumps, bruises, burns, and other wounds.

Coconut oil will make your hair and skin look healthier than you ever imagined! Applied as a moisturizer, coconut oil aids in the removal of the dead skin cells leaving your skin with an even texture and a smooth healthy glow. It penetrates into the deeper layers of skin strengthening the underlying tissues while delivering superior moisture. Because your hair and skin suck it up quickly, it leaves your skin feeling soft and supple but never greasy. It softens the hair, conditions the scalp, and can get rid of dandruff better than any medicated chemical laden shampoo out there! Simply massage into your hair and scalp and let it set for about 10 minutes prior to shampooing for spa like results right in your own bathroom.

One more thing before you rush out to purchase a tub of this miracle food; not all coconut oil is created equally. Be sure to buy expeller pressed or cold processed unrefined coconut oil. Most of the coconut oil out there is refined, bleached, and deodorized and well, it's just not coconut oil after all that processing!
