Health Benefits of organic virgin coconut oil

Virgin coconut oil does not contain any trans-fats or cholesterol. Instead it is rich in beneficial medium-chain fatty acids which when digested is converted to energy rather than being stored as fat. Using virgin coconut oil in place of regular, processed cooking oils can help you lose those extra pounds.

​

"There is only one oil that is stable enough to resist heat-induced damage, while it also helps you promote heart health, maintain normal cholesterol levels and even support weight loss - coconut oil"  - Dr Joseph Mercola

​

Coconut oil is also an ideal skin lotion that not only moisturizes the skin but also protects it against damage, promotes healing and gives it a more youthful, healthy appearance. The vitamin E in coconut oil prevents free-radical formation and damage caused by free-radicals. Coconut oil is 100% natural and produces long-term improvements in the skin's appearance.

 

The primary acid in coconut oil is lauric acid (in fact, 50% of fat content of coconut oil is lauric acid), a substance found in mother's milk which boasts of anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-parasitical properties. It just so happen that the world's richest source of lauric acid is coconut oil. When coconut oil is incorporated into one's diet, the body receives a regular dose of lauric acid which boost the immune system and protects against infectious diseases.
