The benefits of coconut oil

I can not believe the benefits of coconut oil and how it has changed our family. Coconut oil is nature's richest source of MCT ( Medium chain triglycerides). They are different from the common chain of fatty acids found in traditional plant-based oils. MCT's are burned for energy instead of the typical fatty acids that are stored in our bodies as fat. The MCT's also burn up quickly in our bodies. Research has shown that besides human mothers milk that coconut oil has miraculous healing powers and is a natural source of lauric acid and medium chain fatty acids.

When lauric acid is consumed in our diet it forms a monglyceride called monolaurin which has been shown to destroy bacteria and viruses in our bodies. Some of the viruses that have been destroyed are measles, herpes, influenza and there has been evidence of Candida being killed off.

Our family has seen the results of using coconut oil not just in our cooking but using topically. We have replaced traditional lotions with this natural oil for our skin. I use it once a week on the ends of my hair to help with split ends or damage from heating products. It has worked miracles on bruises our families bodies as well.

We have replaced our recipes from lard, oil and butter to coconut oil. It can be used the same as these unhealthy oils. We made cookies last night and replaced the 1 cup of butter with 1 cup of olive oil and the taste was amazing. Making simple recipes like macaroni and cheese can be replaced with 1/4 cup of coconut oil. My husband uses it on his toast instead of butter. The taste is so refreshing and the health benefits of using this oil are amazing.

If you have not purchased Coconut oil I recommend giving it a try. Please research the benefits online because I have just touched on a few but there are dozens more.
