23 Benefits of Coconut Oil

Here are several valid reasons why we should all be including coconut oil in our diet!

Coconut oil is now considered a super food that can reduce your risk of heart attack and stroke along with improving your blood and cholesterol levels.

There are currently over 1,000 studies into the benefits and effectiveness of coconut oil and is now considered one of the healthiest and most beneficial foods in the world.

The benefits of coconut oil are considered by many as outstanding and far superior than previously thought.

Scientific research has now proven that there are within coconut oil, healthy fats called medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs), which include:

Capric acid
Caprylic acid
Lauric acid

Around 60% of the oils in a coconut include these three healthy fatty acids which are welcome by the blood and 90% of the fat in coconut oil is a healthy saturated fat.
