The Elixir.. Coconut Oil!

Coconut Oil is one of the up and coming must have products for skin, hair, cooking and so much more but have you ever wondered why coconut oil is so good for you? It is because it contains Lauric acid along with several other "good" saturated fatty acids that do incredible things for our bodies when ingested like lowering cholesterol and helping to maintatin a stable cholesterol range. This miracle oil also does wonders for our immune systems as the Lauric acid and monoglycerides found in coconut oil as the same as found in mother's milk which are essential for building up the immune system for a new born. Much like a baby uses these products an adult consuming coconut oil gets the same monoglycerides which help to support and boost an adults immune system, helping to fight off bacterial and viral infections. Coconut oil has also been found to get rid of harmful bacteria in the mouth if you swish it around your mouth for 8-10 minutes. This process is called oil-pulling and has been proven to decrease chances of getting cavities and increase the good bacteria in the mouth. Furthermore, coconut oil is great for the intestines because it helps to feed the healthy intestinal flora making sure that your intestinal tract is healthy and happy. As far as using coconut oil on the hair, skin and nails, this product is perfect for those with sensitive skin and who have environmental sensitivities. Coconut oil gently nourishes the skin while also acting as an SPF 15 to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. Using coconut oil on your hair helps to improve the integrity of your hair, by healing split ends and hydrating dry or chemically treated hair without repercussion. With so many uses for coconut oil isn't it time you bought yourself a jar and start reaping the benefits of this miracle product?
