What are the benefits of coconut oil?

Coconut oil is very different from other fats. Virgin Coconut Oil is high in medium chain triglycerides (MCT) and fatty acids that boost metabolism. Whereas other fats contain predominantly long-chain fatty acids (LCT). Our body absorbs MCT differently from long-chain fatty acids. MCTs are sent to the liver directly, where they are either used for energy or transformed into ketone bodies. A study on rats that were overfed with medium chain fats gained 20% less weight and had 23% less body fat compared to rats fed with long-chain fatty acids.

Increase Good Cholesterol

The saturated fats present in coconut oil are not harmful as you commonly find in vegetable oils. Coconut oil does not lead to increase in LDL levels and increase HDL level (Good cholesterol), and it reduces the incidence of injury and damage to arteries and therefore helps in preventing atherosclerosis.

Virgin Coconut oil is the only natural solution to bring back healthy and shiny hair. It is a safer alternative to toxic chemical hair solutions. Use coconut oil as a hair conditioner.

Tip: choose organic, virgin and unrefined coconut oil for best results.
