My new found love - coconut! Part 1

OK I’ve had coconut before and it tastes alright - its water, well yeah I always found it to be very refreshing, but that’s about it. I never could come down to jotting down the benefits of it, and how I should know it can change my life. But then again, thanks to the social media, which I’m proudly a part of, had this sudden boom on coconut, everywhere. Like health and beauty experts are literally telling us to eat, drink, rub, anything coconut. So obviously to tame my little curious inner self, I started doing some research. And this is what I’ve come down to. I’m proud to say, I am now a part of the coconut brigade and here by I present to you, The COCONUT!

First things first – it helps you lose weight! This is a big one, no kidding right?! The unique combinations of fatty acids tend to have a positive effect on your health, one of which is – and wait for it – WEIGHT LOSS! People have been resistant of coconut oil because of the fact that it has almost 90% of the “fatty – saturated – acids”. But that all is beyond us now, as the new studies show, that saturated fats aren’t harmful AT ALL! So no artery clogging guys, that’s a total myth!

And I’m not making this up, do some research on you own if you wish to. Also, something to ponder on … medium chain triglycerides, contained in coconut oil can have therapeutic effects on several brain disorders. Webmd
