Coconut Oil Benefits:
The Fat that Ignites an Explosion

Health benefits of coconut oil


Coconut Oil BenefitsCoconut oil benefits range from the ordinary to the extraordinary. No dietary fat can compare to its favorable effect on your overall health. None!

Many people call coconut oil, The Healthiest Oil on Earth, The Miracle Oil, The Drugstore in a Bottle, The Fountain of Youth, The King of Oils, Nature's Stone-Aged Self Aid Remedy, etc.

For thousands of years, whole generations have used this divine oil in key areas of their lives such as hair and skin, disease cure and prevention, food preparation, etc.

My relatives in the province still use it the old-fashioned way and their health is enviable.

Below are just a few of the numerous and unparalleled coconut oil benefits many are already enjoying:

  • Reduces risk of having heart disease
  • Stimulates metabolism
  • Promotes normal thyroid function
  • Helps loose and maintain ideal body weight
  • Kills viruses, bacteria, fungi and other pathogens
  • Functions as an antioxidant
  • Lessens chronic inflammation
  • Relieves symptoms of gallbladder disease
  • Protects against cancer
  • Prevents premature aging and degenerative disease
  • Expels tapeworms, lice and other parasites
  • Ward off skin infections
  • Controls dandruff
  • Reduces epileptic seizures
  • Accelerates healing of wounds, cuts, burns, etc.
  • Prevents diabetes and relieves health risks associated with it
  • Prevents periodontal disease and tooth decay
  • ... and much, much more ...

Heart Friendly

Contrary to popular but erroneous belief, raw coconut oil does not promote heart disease. After decades of being maligned mostly in the name of profits, the truth about this oil is no longer buried.

Highly saturated coconut oil does not cause heart disease! It even helps prevent one.

Studies have revealed that the fatty acid deposit that clogs arteries are mostly unsaturated, not saturated. Not a single Medium Chain Fatty Acid (MCFA), the predominant saturated fatty acid in coconut oil, was found.

Powerful Antimicrobial

One of the greatest coconut oil benefits, if not the greatest, is its ability to wipe out bacteria, fungi, viruses, parasites, yeasts, worms, etc.

Lauric acid, the primary component in mother's milk that protects babies from infection, is also the main antimicrobial MCFA in coconut oil. MCFAs are so potent, even the deadly AIDS virus (HIV) dies in their presence. So potent, yet so safe. How incredible!

Check out some of the other harmful organisms destroyed my MCFAs:

Coconut oil is, by far, nature's richest source of MCFAs!

Release Your Energy

MCFA-packed coconut oil does not circulate your bloodstream to the degree almost all other dietary fats do. It's funneled straight to your liver to be immediately converted to energy, not body fat. Hence, the fat-burning coconut oil and weight loss link.

A single meal containing MCFAs can accelerate your metabolism for up to 24 hours. Because they boost metabolism, MCFAs are also the driving force behind the coconut oil for thyroid stimulatory effect.

Ancient Job

Long before cosmetics was invented, coconut oil was already busy giving countless people young-looking hair and skin.

One of my favorite grandmothers died at age 91. Everyday she would massage coconut oil on her hair and scalp. She had the most beautiful long black hair until the end. Use coconut oil on your scalp regularly and it's difficult not to have beautiful hair.

You don't have to ingest it to reap its blessings. Coconut oil skin treatment and protection is best achieved through direct or topical application. Moreover, once it penetrates your skin and reaches your bloodstream, a succession of yet more wonderful rewards are in store for your health.

How Much Oil?

The coconut oil maintenance dosage is for anyone who would like to integrate coconut oil into their daily diet, for maintaining overall well-being. While the coconut oil therapeutic dosage is for those who are fighting an illness and can be five times the maintenance dosage, even more.

Virgin Coconut Oil BenefitsYour immune system is your number one defense against all diseases and 80 percent of it is located in your digestive tract.

The coconut oil detox is one of the most powerful ways to get your digestive system functioning at an optimum level.

The List Goes On...

We can write a whole series of books enumerating the plentiful coconut oil benefits.

Revered in the tropics, it's rightfully called "The Drugstore in a Bottle" because of its amazing resume of health blessings.

Coconut oil benefits your health like no other dietary oil or fat can! It is from nature, perfectly safe, and most of all, remarkably effective. It's the only oil experts know of that can do all of the above and a whole lot more.
