Powerful Ways You Should Be Using Coconut Oil

One thing clearly stands out in life, irrespective of the category it belongs to. Most oils with saturated fats, such as butter, palm oil, coconut oil and among others are categorized as bad oil compared to oils with unsaturated fat, such as olive oil, safflower oil, canola oil, etc. Among these oils containing saturated fat, one stands out, competes with unsaturated fats and remains among the best if not the very best. This is because of its amazing power.

This oil is endowed with numerous benefits. It’s uniqueness lies in its ability to be easily metabolized by everybody, irrespective of our ages. This particular oil that receives a standing ovation even in the crowd of many competitors is COCONUT OIL.

The Many Powerful Ways of Using Coconut Oil For Men, Women & Children

It took me so many years to understand the secret of the beauty and long shiny hair possessed by the majority of the people living/residing in countries such as Indonesia, Philippines, India, Brazil and among others. After concerted effort in information gathering and worthwhile research, it obviously appeared to me that the power behind their beauty lies in the daily usage of coconut oil as part of their diets and also for body care.

The power of feminine gender lies in their beauty. This is the main reason females go extra length to dedicate their precious time and money to the enhancement and maintenance of their beauty. The use of questionable and substandard synthetic cosmetic products has become a trend globally. Most females use these products ignorantly. They are oblivious of the dangers involved with the use of these dangerous artificial cosmetic products. Conversely, coconut oil is the best natural beautifying agent without any negative effects on health.

Coconut oil has a wonderful effect on the human hair and skin. It could be rubbed into the scalp daily to stimulate healthy growth of hair and gives hair a shiny quality. It also ensures that scalp is free from dandruff, lice, and lice eggs. In addition, it serves as antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral agent. It is also helpful for the treatment of various skin problems including dermatitis, eczema, and other skin infections.

Among so many numerous benefits of coconut oil to the body systems, just to mention few, these are: it helps to aid digestion and boost metabolism, it is an immediate source of energy which could serve as energy booster for athletes, it’s a good source of vitamin A, D, and K.

It is my pleasure also to let you know that coconut oil could be used in weight management. It helps to burn excessive fat and turn fatty acids into ketones, which can reduce seizures among Children with Special Needs e.g. Children with cerebral palsy.

Coconut oil also improves antioxidant levels and can also delay aging. Its anti-inflammatory properties can help to loosen arthritis. It is also highly effective on bruises because it speeds up the healing process of damaged tissues. In addition, it can also reduce the itch of mosquito bite and is also a natural diaper cream.

Coconut oil is a natural shave cream and after shave lotion. It is also an excellent makeup cleanser.

At this end, it will be disastrous to provide the information on numerous benefits of coconut oil without letting you know that; not all the coconut oils in the market are edible and usable. Some coconut oil are made from deteriorated coconuts because they possess more oils than adequately mature coconuts while some products have been diluted and adulterated. Also, some are not produced in a hygienic environment. All these reduce its potential benefits. Therefore, my advice to you is to search for pure coconut oil from a reliable source.

Go Natural! Go Healthy! Live Long !! God bless you.

Using Coconut Oil To Improve Immunity, Hair, Skin Quality

In my few years as a practicing nutritionist with a government establishment, I am yet to find another healthy food item that has been multi-effective in nature other than Coconut oil. It was just like yesterday when the nutrition department of the establishment I work with kick-started the inclusion of coconut oil into the diets of children with special needs is available in our center. Improved immunity to illnesses particularly among the susceptible group was seen with a reduction in the frequency of seizures among the children particularly the non-ambulatory ones (Bedbound).

Let me make it clear, when I say coconut oil, I am not by any indication referring to the common “Adi agbon” (Yoruba); which is usually the oil obtained from deteriorated, deteriorating or rotten coconuts. This is the type used by our mothers as body and hair cream. In their time, even up till now, “Adi agbon” has remained an effective solution to many external beauty concerns that we are faced with.

Having said that, Medium Chain Triglyceride (MCT) oil; the one I am actually referring to is clearly a super oil that is effective both for external and internal treatment. It is made from mature coconuts (edible) as against the “Adi agbon” type which is made from deteriorating coconuts and as such is inedible and has limited health benefits. In the reality of some Nigerians despising this oil, many foreigners and foreign-based Nigerians and Africans are embracing the use as its benefits are without limit. See the top three benefits.

How Coconut Oil Improves Immunity:

On like 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 oil. Coconut oil contains two special ingredients; lauric acid and caprylic acid that make it excellent for immunity.

They both have antibacterial and antiviral properties. For many of us who are hoping to keep away from a chemical made drug as much as possible, the inclusion of a teaspoon/tablespoon of coconut oil into your meals depending on your tolerance level can be quite helpful in boosting your 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 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 of 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 coconuts are 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.

Guess what? You could make your own coconut oil at home, http://www.chopbetterfood.com/2014/05/how-to-make-coconut-oil-at-home.html that way you are certain of how natural it is.
