Not only is it my favorite cooking oil, but there are countless uses, from deodorant to toothpaste and body lotion to weight loss helpers.
Coconut oil contains a rare combination of three fatty acids: lauric, capric and caprylic acid, which are among the rarest in nature.
These medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) provide extraordinary health benefits; they are easy to burn during exercise and have antibacterial properties.
Some of the best benefits of coconut oil include:
- Balance the hormonal system
