Coconut oil is one of the most versatile natural oils found in the world, with potential antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, and weight management benefits. It can help improve cholesterol, protect heart and blood vessel health from free radicals, bacterial and viral attacks, and also reduce the risk of heart problems. Coconut oil is a good fatty acid that boosts metabolism and helps to move the bowels and improve colon and constipation. Coconut oil can be consumed as is, in drinks, or added to food for flavouring, or tossed in salads.
Organic cold-pressed coconut oil contains approximately 56% lauric acid, a medium-chain fatty acid found in breast milk. Lauric acid is known for its immune system boosting properties, as well as producing antibacterial and anti-ies. Although the main component of coconut oil is saturated fat, its medium chain makes it easy to absorb and digest. This allows coconut oil to be more effective in boosting energy and promoting a feeling of satiety.
