The Many Uses for Coconut Oil

Coconut oil has been a dietary and beauty staple for millennia. I love coconut oil because, is easily digested which make it easier for your liver to digest and convert into energy rather than stored it as fat. Around 50% of the fat in coconut oil is lauric acid, which has been linked to amazing health benefits. It has antibacterial, anti-fungal, anti-viral and anti-microbial properties. This is undoubtedly part of what makes it so medicinally useful, when taken internally and applied externally.
Coconut oil is ideal for all sorts of cooking and baking, as it can withstand higher temperatures without being damaged like many other oils.
Furthermore, coconut oil does not go rancid, which is a awesome when you make homemade items.
