Mallikarju

Hello friends,
I have learned that virgin coconut oil is good for health and people apply it to their hair and even drink spoonful.I have planed to start drinking it, My question is what is the perfect time and quantity to take it.
I'm 26 years old and have no history of allergies.

Note: By time i mean morning or evening, before and after meal etc.

Limit yourself to 1-2 teaspoons per day. Try to incorporate it into your cooking. For instance, use coconut oil and spices on fish and chicken breast before baking.
