“I am now a confirmed addict of this stuff. If I run out, I start craving it. Popcorn is just not the same without melted Nutiva coconut oil and sprinkling of coarse sea salt. Cannot be more specific than to say that my body ‘feels’ better–joints, mobility, sense of well being since I started consuming it regularly. The scent of it is intoxicating as well. I for one don’t need a scientific “paper” to tell me what my body needs and responds well to.”

Coconut oil is nature’s richest source of healthy medium chain fatty acids (MCFAs). These include Lauric Acid and Capric Acid. MCFAs are vital nutrients and found in coconut oil, coconut milk, and coconut flakes. Coconut is one of the only foods that contains these rare healthy fats. Mother’s milk is also a good source for these as it helps nourish young babies as they grow.
The most common vegetable or seed oils are comprised of long chain fatty acids (LCFAs), also known as long-chain triglycerides or LCTs. LCT’s are packed with Omega-6′s and become rancid easily when sold in clear bottles and degrade. LCT’s such as corn or soy oil can also polymerize into gunk. Not good for our veins. Many doctors now understand why these long-chain fatty acids are not as healthy as the MCFAs in coconut oil.

(OrganicJar) Coconut oil has a surprising number of health benefits, from relieving stress to bolstering your immune system. It’s rich in the lauric, capric and caprylic acids. These omega three fatty acids give it its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti fungal properties. It can be used to cook food, moisturize skin, and treat infections. With all of these benefits, it’s hard to imagine why you wouldn’t add coconut oil to your life. Check out the top 10 reasons why coconut oil is a miracle of nature and why YOU should be using it.
Improves Your Skin
Coconut oil acts as an effective moisturizer on all types of skins including dry skin. It can treat psoriasis, eczema, rosacea and even wrinkles and protects the skin from sun exposure, skin cancer, and free radical damage.
Helps You Lose Weight
Unlike many other common oils, like soy (vegetable) and corn that contain LCT (long-chain triglycerides ) that are typically stored as fat. Coconut oil won’t make you fat. Coconut oil contains MCT (medium-chain triglycerides), which are an easy fuel for the body to burn, without turning to fat. When you add coconut oil into your diet, you’ll feel more full and eat fewer calories over all. [click to continue…]
Coconut (Cocus nucifera) is the largest known seed, and the fruit of the coconut palm tree. It is a member of the Palmaceae (Palm) Family. Coconut oil, also known as coconut butter, is solid at room temperature and becomes a clear liquid oil at temperatures greater than 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
Coconut oil smells great and imparts beauty and radiance when rubbed on the skin. It is excellent for inflamed and sensitive skin, as well as normal, dry, mature, and oily skin. It is very nourishing, cooling and moisturizing and has a long shelf life. Coconut oil is emollient and can help create a thin imperceptible layer that recreates the soothing benefits that our own skin produces and prevent moisture evaporation.
Coconut oil can help reduce scars and blocks about twenty percent of UV rays. Used in massage, skin care, and first aid creams, it helps repair tissue. Many body care products like moisturizers, sunscreens and lotions contain petroleum by- products, which can clog pores and cause breakouts.
