Benefits of Coconut Oil

Boosting Bone Health:

• Coconut oil can improve calcium and magnesium absorption in the body, which in turn is greatly beneficial to dental and bone health.

Boosting Metabolism:

• Considered a “friendly fat”
• Coconut oil is "thermogenic” – eating it tends to boost fat burning
• Many studies show that medium chain triglycerides can boost metabolism
• Medium chain fatty acids are metabolized differently than most fats

Upgrading Smoothies:

• Tastes delicious
• Gives a creamy consistency
• The body uses its medium-chain fatty acids as an energy source instead of storing it away.
• Added health benefits – spark your metabolism in the morning with a scoop of coconut oil in your smoothie

Getting Rid of Body Odor:

• Smooth some coconut oil on your armpits. The lauric acid can help kill the bacteria that causes body odor.

Fighting Cold:

• Coconut can help boost immunity and help fight colds
• Contains lauric acid, which has anti-bacterial, anti-microbial, and anti-viral properties that might help fend off potential illnesses. A number of studies show that coconut oil can boost a weakened immune system by improving white blood cell counts, which helps the body fight viruses and infections.

Preventing Chafing:

• Can also help treat the infected area – great for babies with diaper rash.

Buff your Skin:

• Coconut oil is a fantastic ingredient for DIY body scrub. Just mix it up with brown sugar or salt and add a drop or two of the essential oil of your choice for a gentle but effective exfoliating scrub.
