Coconut oil is another one of Gods superfood creations. It provides many health benefits. Coconut oil is rich in saturated fats called medium chain triglycerides so when eaten they are sent directly to the liver where they are converted into energy rather than being stored as fat. Coconut oil contains lauric acid which is a major component for it is known for its antiviral and antibacterial functions.
This Superfood is so incredible that I add this to my diet daily. Here’s why:
- Coconut oil promotes weight loss because it helps burn more fat
- Helps reduce your hunger therefore helping you eat less
- Helps in building muscle
- Supports thyroid function
- Increases metabolism and energy
- Prevents bacterial, viral, and fungal infections
- Prevents cancer
- Prevents heart disease and high blood pressure
- Helps control diabetes
- Improves digestive disorders
- Improves memory and brain function
- Protects against alcohol damage to the liver
- Reduces inflammation and arthritis
- Rejuvenates skin and prevents wrinkles
Coconut oil is so versatile. In place of any cooking oil you can use coconut oil. You can add it to your morning smoothie, spread it on toast or eat it plain by the spoonful. Coconut oil is a great as a lotion. It softens your skin by hydrating it. Best of all it promotes healthy skin and prevents wrinkles! Now who wouldn’t love that?
When you do purchase coconut oil make sure you look for virgin, organic, unrefined and cold pressed. Pure coconut oil must taste and smell like coconuts.
Yum!
