Health benefits of virgin coconut oil

virgin coconut oilA healthy saturated fat? That can't be true, because for years the media has been telling us otherwise. But evidence shows that coconut oil lowers cholesterol, protects against damage to heart cells, keeps skin healthy and wrinkle free, raises metabolism and supports thyroid function.

Besides all that, it tastes great. Use it instead of butter in baking recipes or on popcorn for a hint of coconutty flavor. Or, roast veggies in it. Pan fry chicken in virgin coconut oil for a Caribbean treat.

Incorporating virgin coconut oil into your diet will enhance your health and your menus.
