Why we like it
Coconut oil has a number of emerging benefits for your health, both when you add it to your diet or when used for cosmetic purposes. Here some benefits:
* A good source of antioxidants, which provide anti-inflammatory, brain-protective and anti-diabetic effects.
* Coconut oil is high in MCTs, which provide a quick energy source that our bodies can absorb and use faster than other types of saturated fat (MCTs have long been used in sports nutrition products for athletes who need a source of energy that their body can absorb and use quickly).
* Since coconut oil is rich in MCTs, which significantly increase blood levels of ketones, it may potentially help with symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease (further research needed).
* Coconut oil helps moisturize your skin.
* Coconut oil helps strengthen your hair by increasing flexibility and reducing their breakage and/or split ends.
* Lauric acid in coconut oil may have antimicrobial properties against a wide range of harmful microorganisms.
* In a similar fashion, coconut oil may be a cost-effective way to improve oral health due to its lauric acid content.

How to use it
Use during cooking (instead of alternative oils, in particular for cooking in high heat given its high burning point) or on the skin or hair.
