MasterX


I just wanna know do you rub or eat coconutoil? If both can you tell me which is better to do?


Answer
Coconut oil has been used as skin care, beauty and hair products for many centuries in the Far East. Coconut oil can provide moisturizing benefits for the skin and is, without any comparison, an excellent hair conditioner. These days coconut oil is used as an ingredient for making skin care products, hair treatments, and body and sun protection lotions.

how good is coconut oil for cooking?

Answer
Coconut oil is full of saturated fat. Normally this statement would scare anyone off from ever considering coconut oil to be a health food.

The truth is, saturated fat has gotten a really bad reputation lately as being nothing but unhealthy for our bodies. While, this may be true of most saturated fats, coconut oil is different.

The fat in coconut oil has a unique property that actual causes it to have both antimicrobial and anticancer effects in the body. Coconut oil is also used to treat thyroid conditions and aid in weight loss.

It is a mistake to assume that every type of saturated fat leads to heart disease.

The difference between the saturated fat in coconut oil and the saturated fat in other types of food is that coconut oil is a medium chain fatty acid while the rest are long chain fatty acids.

This is a big deal because medium chain fatty acids, also known as lauric acid, actually help to reduce heart disease and atherosclerosis.

Lauric acid is specifically known for its antimicrobial attributes. Lauric acid can be turned into monolaurin by our bodies, which is both anti-viral and anti-bacterial. Monolaurin also helps to destroy lipid coated viruses, which include HIV, herpes, cytomegalovirus and influenza.

Keep in mind that not all coconut oil is healthy, hydrogenated coconut oil is just as dangerous to your health as other trans-fats. What you need to look for is unprocessed coconut oil in order to reap the health benefits.

In addition to the great benefits that come with using coconut oil for your food, is the nourishment you could provide to your skin by using it as a daily lotion or face moisturizer.

With coconut oil, you will be able to give your skin a completely healthy and chemical-free treatment on a daily basis that won't clog up your pores.

One brand I highly recommend is Nuvita organic coconut oil. It is USDA certified organic, and produced as extra-virgin.
