Cocnut Oil - Healthy Allround-Product

Coconut trees have been cultivated for at least 3000 years. The nutritious coconuts rich in good fat and high-quality protein made tropical islanders enjoy a good health over many generations, before they often changed their eating habits due to exterior influences. Coconut is a complete food, on which man could live for weeks without suffering shortages.

The specific saturated fatty acids of coconuts and here especially the lauric acid are of high nutritional value! Breast milk also consists mainly of these medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), which contain no cholesterol but promote the production of the healthy HDL-cholesterol, which protects the (heart-)vessels. In scientific studies lauric acid has also shown to be effective against bacteria, viruses and fungi.

Coconut oil is not fattening and supposedly even helps you lose weight. The reason is that its fatty acids are immediately converted into energy by the body and that they stimulate the fat burning process without affecting blood sugar levels.

A big advantage of coconut oil, in contrast to other oils, is that it is very heat stable! Therefore, it is an excellent oil for cooking, frying and baking. And it can be kept for long periods.

Its valuable properties have also shown to be effective for cosmetics. Coconut oil moisturizes and nourishes the skin, it helps to heal wounds and protect the skin from infections. Coconut oil is very popular in Asia for hair care, because it moisturizes dry and damaged hair.
