Many people talk about the many health benefits that coconut, this sweet and crunchy exotic fruit, can have. Do you really know these virtues?

1st reason: An oil for inner and outer beauty

The aesthetic aspect is excessively important in our consumer society, but we often forget that external beauty begins or is only the result of a good internal functioning of the body.

Coconut oil illustrates this perfectly. Indeed, both by its ingestion thanks to the medium chain fatty acids it contains and by its external application, this oil is a real nutrient and cosmetic regenerator and protector.

Applied to the skin, coconut oil is a gentle exfoliant, anti-wrinkle and natural moisturizer. It strengthens the skin barrier as it is antifungal, antibacterial and healing. Therefore, it will help at any age, whether it is to reduce acne in a teenager or to soothe a baby's reddened bottom.

It is naturally protective against the sun's aggressive rays and restorative in the event of excessive exposure to the sun.

There is a close and synergistic relationship between coconut oil, vitamin E and vitamin D.

From the moment you switch to coconut oil, you can throw away all your other creams and perfumes since it is delicately naturally scented.

Reason 2: Stimulate your memory and your brain

Coconut oil will allow you to benefit from a beautiful skin, but also a beautiful mind since these medium chain fatty acids take care of regenerating your brain cells and protect them against various degenerations. The metabolization of medium chain fatty acids is an alternative and different source of energy that provides the brain with ketones. These ketone molecules are imperative to avoid Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's chorea (another degenerative disease that gives rise to tremors), multiple sclerosis or any other degenerative nerve disease.

To see for yourself, get a copy of Dr. Mary T. Newport's book, "Alzheimer's Disease: What if there was a cure? ". This woman doctor discovered the effects of medium chain fatty acids in a totally unexpected way. Working with her husband Steve, who has Alzheimer's disease, she was able to reverse and stabilize his disease with coconut oil.

This natural alternative treatment allows to protect or to regress the famous degenerative plaques that affect the brain function of the sick people. But this oil allows much more...

Reason 3: Does the word "cancer" make you hypochondriac?

Don't be fooled by the fact that every day, all humans generate and eliminate a quantity of cancer cells. Simply give your body the tools to effectively eliminate these "abnormal" cells or starve them to death. The key is to prevent them from becoming too numerous and invading the body. This is one of the additional advantages of coconut oil that nourishes healthy cells, but avoids nourishing degenerated cells. It is much better than a classic chemotherapy that destroys all the cells, both the good and the bad ones... Coconut oil is therefore one of the superfoods that you must absolutely integrate into your diet if you want to stay healthy.

The health benefits: combining coconut oil with raw vegetables and colorful fruits, spices and aromatic herbs, drinking lots of good filtered water, doing a bit of sport and managing stress and thoughts, that the result of a good internal functioning of the body.

4th reason: A product to use for a final detox

Many detoxification methods are available on the Internet, but few are scientifically based. Some of them are rather part of the "diet fad" and are expensive. It is therefore interesting to know that not only does coconut oil support the detoxification process, but that this oil itself is detoxifying. By accompanying your heavy metal or seasonal cleanse with coconut oil, you should avoid fatigue and keep your energy up throughout the process.

Reason 5: A healthy heart

Even if you eventually develop small heart or cardiovascular problems, by opting for these beneficial polyunsaturated fatty acids, you will avoid being poisoned by taking chemical drugs that your doctor would prescribe for this type of problem and that could kill you.

Heart problems and cancers are frightening, especially since the establishment has been active in scaring us for years with the supposedly toxic cholesterol excess. Know that statins are excessively harmful, because the scarecrow of cholesterol that has been waved since the 60s is in fact a very beneficial molecule is a real crystal of life.

Many tissues in our body, including the membranes of nerve cells, absolutely need cholesterol to function smoothly. By absorbing good fatty acids such as those contained in coconut oil, you will be doing your heart, your vessels and your brain a great service.

Heart medications and statins that are supposed to prolong life by preventing cardiovascular disease actually shorten the life expectancy of most people who take them. Coconut oil alone will replace all prescribed heart medications since it reduces the risk of blood clots, improves the ratio of good to bad cholesterol, inhibits the harmful effect of free radicals, improves liver function and reduces inflammatory factors well known to be cardiovascular risk factors.
