10 Life Improving Uses for Coconut Oil.
|
Coconut oil is an unbelievably
versatile substance which most of us only know a bit about. It can be
used for cooking as well as keep you healthy and beautiful. With plenty
of antibacterial and anti-fungal ingredients, coconut oil offers many
simple and natural ways to improve your life. |

Cooking:
What many people don't know about
using coconut oil for cooking is that it has a high heating point. This
means that the oil does not oxidize until 450 degrees Fahrenheit (252
degrees Celsius) and so it keeps more of its nutritious values after
being cooked. You can replace any oil, in just about any recipe, with
coconut oil for a healthier meal.

Moisturize your body and face:
If you start using coconut oil
regularly, you can say goodbye to your flaky, dry skin. Coconut oil is a
great, all natural, moisturizer for your face and body. It will not
cause your skin to be oily but rather boost its collagen production,
keeping your skin healthy and the wrinkles at bay.
|
|
Aids weight loss:
Coconut oil is a great source for a
healthy fat with no trans fats called medium chain triglyceride (MCT).
The MCT acid particles immediately go to the liver after eating them,
increasing the energy and metabolism in your body. Take a few
tablespoons of coconut oil a day and help your body get back into shape.

|
Toothpaste:
Mix coconut oil with baking soda, and
you get a home-made toothpaste with the antibacterial and anti-fungal
properties of the oil. Store it in a cool place as it will turn into
liquid at about 74 degrees Fahrenheit (23 degrees Celsius). You don’t
have to use it all the time, just a few times a week will supplement
your dental care greatly, along with your normal toothpaste.
|
|
Hair conditioner:
Just as coconut oil can moisturize
your body and face, it can also help your hair. Rub it into your hair
and wait for about 15 minutes then wash, shampoo, rinse and style it as
you always do. This will make your hair healthy and shiny, as well as
give you a wonderful fresh feeling.

|
Faster healing of cuts and sunburns:
Because it's a natural moisturizer
and a collagen production aid, coconut oil is great for fixing damaged
skin. Use coconut oil with a drop or two of lavender oil to keep your
skin from peeling off after a sunburn, and heal cuts faster than ever.

Aids breastfeeding mothers:
Breast milk is key to the development
of newborn babies. Consuming coconut oil will increases your milk
supply as the healthy fats are a key component to hormone production,
which increases milk production.
|
|
Deodorant:
Apply coconut oil to the skin of your
chest, neck and armpits to eliminate odors. The acid in the coconut oil
will kill the odor-causing bacteria and help deal the body odor
problem.
|
|
Replace the cream in your coffee:
You can use coconut oil, or coconut
milk (but not from a can) ,as a healthy way to remove cream and fats
from your coffee. This will not only increase your uptake of vitamins
and nutrients but also add a rich, smooth nutty taste to your drink.
|
|
Body Scrub:
Mix equal amounts of coconut oil and
sugar, and use it to scrub your body with it while in the bath or
shower. This will help to exfoliate your skin and moisturize the new
layer to make it soft and healthy.
