Let’s peek into some health benefits of this wonder oil-

  • Coconut oil contains medium-chain triglycerides. Medium-chain triglycerides (MCT's) are easier to burn off than the long-chain triglycerides (LCT's). Adding coconut oil to your cooking is better than using the oils that have LCT's as these oils get converted into stored fat much more easily than coconut oil.
  • Considered an exotic food, coconut is a popular food choice in the western world. Coconut, loaded with coconut oil promotes general health, and people who eat coconut regularly have thrived excellent health through many generations.
  • Cosmetic usage of this magical oil has been advertised by Indians for many generations. Moisturizing dry skin with coconut oil makes skin soft and refreshing. It also reduces the tanning of your skin. Antimicrobial properties found in coconut oil protect the skin from harmful bacteria and reduce inflammation of the skin.
