Coconut Oil and its Health Benefits (Organic) “Coconut oil” is the most nutrient dense part of the coconut. It is solid at room temperature like butter. It doesn’t break down in heat or light or become rancid like many oils, and in my opinion has a wonderful tropical smell. It is a wonderful way to increase the amount of healthy fats in your diet, and is helpful in assimilation of fat soluble vitamins. For years, “health” advice has warned against consuming saturated fats, and coconut oil has gotten thrown out with the rest without good reason! If you are still concerned about saturated fat, consider taking a second look. Even if you still avoid/limit saturated fats, it is important to note that not all saturated fats behave the same way in the body. Coconut oil, due to its high lauric acid content, is actually beneficial to the body. It is also fascinating to note that countries like Thailand eat very high amounts of saturated fats like coconut oil and lard, and have very low levels of disease on average. In fact, people consuming a traditional diet in Thailand have less instance of heart disease and the lowest rates of cancer for all 50 countries studied by the World Health Organization. Diabetes is TEN times more frequent in the United States that in Thailand, despite (or perhaps because of) their high fat consumption. If you haven’t already started using coconut oil, there are many ways that you can get this nutrient packed powerhouse into your diet/lifestyle – cooking, Skin lotion, smoothies making, homemade mayo, snacks, eye makeup remover, Dandruff remedy and hair conditioner, for shaving, Massage oil, coffee or tea etc. Coconuts are an excellent source of nutrition and have healthful meat, juice, and oil.
