We Unequivocally Endorse And Promote The Following Findings Of Virgin Coconut Oil

 

1 –  It helps you lose weight

A meta-analysis of 13 studies published in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics found that medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) can help you lose weight when they replace long-chain triglycerides (like those from soybean and canola oil) in your diet.

 

2 – It kills bacteria

Around half of the fatty acids in coconut oil are lauric acid. Lauric acid is particularly good at killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi; therefore, it’s great in helping you stave off infections when used externally. To get the most potent antibacterial properties, a Journal of Medicinal Food study found virgin coconut oil—rather than refined—to be your best bet.

 

3  – It can be used in the bedroom

There are many life-enhancing uses for coconut oil, but one of the most fun results takes place in the bedroom. You’d use it in there for the same reasons that you’d use it in other rooms in the house: It’s yummy, it’s organic, it’s all-natural, and it stops things from sticking. I’m talking about sex, people!

 

4 – It can help you build and maintain muscle

As mentioned above, the MCTs in coconut oil are good for upping your body’s energy expenditure and burning calories. Here’s yet another way this wonder-stuff can help your body. It’s great for building muscle, according to a Diabetes study!

 

5 – Coconut oil curbs appetite

Scientists suspect that coconut oil’s interesting effect on hunger may be related to the way the fatty acids in it are metabolized. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition of 14 healthy men discovered that those who ate the most MCTs at breakfast ate significantly fewer calories at lunch and had regulated blood sugar.

 

6 – It helps with memory disorders

A 2004 study published in the journal of Neurobiology of Aging demonstrated that the MCTs found in coconut oil improved the memory problems their older subjects were experiencing. All patients felt the benefits of coconut oil in the study and saw a marked improvement in their recall ability after taking the fatty acid. It’s thought that this is due to MCTs being absorbed more easily in the body. As they can be accessed in the brain without the use of insulin, they can more efficiently fuel brain cells.

 

7 – It promotes heart health

Coconut oil is high in natural saturated fats. That may not sound like a positive but the saturated fats in coconuts work in a different way than those found in animal-derived foods like butter, cream, cheese, and meat. According to an Evidence-based Complementary and Alternative Medicine study, coconut oil increases the healthy cholesterol (known as HDL) in your body.

 

8 – It’s a great moisturizer for your skin and hair

Studies on individuals with dry skin show that coconut oil can improve the moisture and lipid content of the skin. Coconut oil can also be very protective against hair damage. If you have dandruff or dry hair, coconut oil is chock full of fatty acids that can improve these conditions.
