Integrating Coconut Oil into your daily life
Why all the recent fuss about coconut oil when it was being put down some years back? Quite simple, it has been recognised as one of the superfoods it really is. There is now enough evidence to show that it does benefit us in many ways. Not only that, every single part of the coconut tree can be used, whether for food, for furniture making, for plants, decorations, for energy, ....none of it goes to waste.
The Green Coconut - One of five different types found on the island.
As far as coconut oil is concerned, besides the many health benefits it has many other uses. It can be used for the hair, skin, for oil pulling, (more coming on that in a subsequent blog), for baking, cooking,
The name super food is really a perfect way to describe the coconut. Around 60% of the oils in coconut are healthy medium-chain fatty acids. They contain the highest amount of lauric acid of any substance you can find. Why are these acids so good? The substance formed when lauric acid is digested is a powerful destroyer of harmful pathogens (bacteria, fungi, viruses). Furthermore coconut oil is a good source of energy, its fat burning qualities help in weight reduction, and it is great for keeping our heart healthy and strong. And it adds a wonderful flavour to your food.

Hope this has been useful for you. I have intentionally kept it "short". There is a lot of information on coconut oil out there if you are interested to know more. And if you know enough already, it is short enough that you will not get bored.
Pleasant Sunday my friends, just off to drink some fresh coconut water! :)
