Coconuts grow in tropical regions and are harvested for a variety of uses. Coconut oil, in particular, is rich in lauric acid, known for its antiviral and antibacterial qualities. In tropical areas, coconut milk has been used as a substitute for breast milk to nourish infants, as both contain lauric acid, making it a worthy alternative. It supports healthy development, especially for the brain.
The taste of coconut oil is delightful. It cleanses the colon by removing old residues. This oil also contains compounds that raise HDL (good cholesterol), reducing the risk of heart attacks.
Coconut oil destroys the protective layer of parasites and Candida in the intestines, which can cause disease. It is an excellent natural treatment against yeast infections. For centuries, Pacific Islanders have recognized its ability to prevent infections. Scientific studies have shown that lauric acid and capric acid (both found in coconut oil) are highly effective against major strains of Candida albicans. Research comparing Pacific Islanders with residents of developing countries found that the Islanders had significantly better health. They showed no signs of kidney disease or underactive thyroid, which affects body fat levels, nor did they suffer from high cholesterol. All participants were slim and healthy, despite their high-saturated-fat diet, thanks to their large consumption of coconut oil.
Constipation, atherosclerosis, heart disease, colitis, hemorrhoids, colon cancer, and ulcers—are all diseases unknown to them!
Coconut oil aids in building strong muscles. Additionally, it is easy to digest—the only oil that doesn't require bile for digestion. This oil supports treatment of hypothyroidism, as it is inherently a saturated fat composed of medium-chain fatty acids, which enhance metabolism and help with weight loss. Coconut oil can even raise body temperature for those who feel cold. It's also suitable for cooking, frying, and baking, as it does not oxidize when heated.
You can add up to three teaspoons of coconut oil to your daily diet without gaining weight. Plus, enjoy its external benefits by applying it to your skin for protection against sunburn, dryness, and harmful bacteria.
