Coconut oil has so many
benefits. Full of saturated fats (the good kind) but from
a completely organic source, foodies across the globe are glugging the
white stuff by the gallon. Applied to the skin, hair or eaten, its benefits are always
good.
Not only a great cocktail container, this nut is always readily available in tropical parts of
the world, Iocals use the oils to protect from the sun and soothe the skin.
The fatty acids in the oils soothe the skin whilst retaining its moisture. When eaten these
acids lay under the skin keeping it healthy, smooth and giving it an even tone.
The multi talented coconut is packed with vitamin E, well known for its benefits to
the skin and great protection for daily wear and tear of the skin. Many creams and
oils contain coconut oil, so applying the natural product straight off is simply
cutting out the middleman.
If you spend all day at work on your feet, coconut oil could be
the perfect remedy for your taired and cracked feet. It can
even be used as a moisturiser for your nails, applied
directly or eaten. This also goes for your body, with
a luxurious thick texture, the oils work to reduce
dry skin in days.
The list of a Coconut’s benefits is endless, to
name a few; weight loss, blood sugar level,
immune system, heart disease, digestion,
healing and disease, stress release and
dental health. You can cook with it, bathe
in it or simply rub it on, and you can buy
it from the supermarket so no need to
jet off to Jamaica, sadly!
