What are its benefits :

• When applied to your skin, coconut oil may protect it from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, which raise your risk of skin cancer and cause wrinkling and brown spots.
• Coconut oil is high in medium-chain triglycerides (MCT),  a type of fat that your body metabolizes differently than most other fats. MCTs are responsible for many of the health benefits of coconut oil.
• Several populations around the world have thrived for generations eating a substantial amount of coconut, and studies show they have good heart health.
• Using coconut oil as a mouthwash may prevent mouth infections, but more evidence is needed.
• MCTs can significantly reduce appetite, which may lead to reduced body weight over the long term.
• The MCTs in coconut oil can increase the blood concentration of ketone bodies, which can help reduce seizures in children with epilepsy.
• A few studies have shown that coconut oil can raise blood levels of HDL (good) cholesterol, which is linked to improved metabolic health and a lower risk of heart disease.
• Early studies suggest that MCTs can increase blood levels of ketones, potentially relieving Alzheimer’s symptoms. Yet, further studies are needed.
