Coconut oil

Research into the health properties of coconut oil suggests it may:

• Reduce the risk of heart disease.

• Lower cholesterol.

• Boost energy.

• Improve digestive disorders like irritable bowel syndrome.

• Help you lose weight or maintain a healthy weight.

• Support your immune system.

I’s even thought that rubbing coconut oil into your skin can help keep your skin smooth and soft, preventing wrinkles. (Polynesian people will not be surprised to read this!)
