It is revealed that there are over 1500 studies that prove that coconut oil is one of the healthiest foods on the planet with great health benefits that cover the entire human body.

Unlike the other long-chain fatty acids found in plant based oils, coconut oil is easier to digest, is anti-microbial and anti-fungal, smaller in size, allowing easier cell permeability for immediate energy and easily processed by the liver, which means that it is immediately converted to energy instead of being stored as fat.  Below are some benefits of coconut oil you need to know:

Prevents Heart Disease and High Blood Pressure

The high level of saturated fats in coconut oil does not only increase the healthy cholesterol in your body but also helps to convert the “bad” cholesterol into good cholesterol by increasing the high-density lipoproteins in the body and promote heart health while lowering the risk of heart disease.

Cancer Prevention and Treatment

The Ketones in coconut are known for helping cancer patients recover by killing the helicobacter pylori bacteria known as the bacteria that increases the risk of stomach cancer. Even in studies where cancer is chemically induced, the introduction of coconut oil prevents cancer from developing!

Improves Memory and Brain Function

Coconut oil absorbs easily in the body and can be accessed in the brain without the use of insulin which in return fuels brain cells more efficiently. The Journal of Neurobiology of Aging published in 2004 reported findings that the MCFAs found in coconut oil improved the memory problems in older subjects.

Improves Skin Issues

Coconut oil is a very great face cleanser, moisturizer and sun screen, but also it can treat many skin disorders like burns, eczema, dandruff, dermatitis, and psoriasis. The fatty acids in coconut oil reduce inflammation internally and externally. In addition the antimicrobial properties balance out the candida or fungal sources that can cause many skin conditions.

Coconut Oil for Weight Loss

Coconut oil has been proven to shed off fat because of the energy creating abilities it has. It helps to burn fat especially belly fat by decreasing your appetite.
