Benefits of coconut oil

Coconut oil has been part of what mothers use to tend their newborns and is believed to be medicinal to certain extent. There are a whole lot coconut oil can also do like improving immunity and the skin and hair quality.
How Coconut Oil Improves Immunity:
Unlike the saturated fats found in butter and other animal foods, the saturated fat in coconut oil is cholesterol free making it a healthy fat option. So, you do not need to be wary of consuming the oil. Coconut oil contains two special ingredients; lauric acid and caprylic acid that make it excellent for immunity.
They both have anti-bacterial and anti-viral properties. For many of us who are hoping to keep away from chemical made drugs as much as possible, an inclusion of a teaspoon/table spoon of coconut oil into your meals depending on your tolerance level can be quite helpful in boosting you immune system naturally.
How Coconut Oil Improves Hair Quality:
Have you ever wondered why Indians have lovely looking hair? The simple secret is coconut oil. Coconut oil is arguably one of the best natural nutrients for your hair growth and proper shining quality. It is a superb conditioner that helps the re-growth of damaged hair.
For women who do check the labels of their expensive hair creams, they would notice that the manufacturers included coconut oil in the list of the ingredients. That is to tell you how important the oil is.

How Coconut Oil Improves Skin Quality:
Women are particularly interested in this more than men, but in their quest to make their skin look a pact, they have only preferred and believed in the usage of expensive body lotions. After spending quite a lot, they end up looking for another one as the previous one does not soothe their skin type. The ability of an extra virgin coconut oil to penetrate through your skin to enrich the cell in order to make the largest organ of the body glow more radiantly is completely incomparable.
One of the most important things about coconut oil is that it eradicates the need for some of the most toxic, potentially harmful beauty concoctions out there in many grocery stores. In fact those in the tropical parts of the world where coconut is readily available believe in using the oil on their skin since it helps protect against harmful sun rays rather than the unnatural, chemical loaded skin care that could damage your skin.
One way you can also utilize the oil for skin treatment is by adding a small quantity of it into your regular body lotion. Many users of this oil had done this and the results are impressive.
