I didn’t realize how good organic Coconut Oil was for you until I read the research at Coconut Research Center.

I only recommend using organic Coconut Oil. It’s more expensive, but it’s definitely worth it. Organic means less pesticides, since you’re taking it in internally and/or using it on pets or babies, you want it to be as clean as possible.

My Chiropractor has told me lots of good things about it, including how beneficial drinking Coconut Water is. It’s a naturally way to re-hydrate and replenishes your electrolytes. It also kills bacteria and helps prevent UTIs.

Coconut Oil is the best oil for you. Here are 100 benefits of how it prevents diseases and keeps you young and healthy!

PETS

I have three long-haired cats who shed a lot. The above photo is my sweet Ragdoll, Callie, she’s a mitted-tortie. My Veterinarian said you can use Coconut Oil to help them pass fur-balls by putting a small dab on top of their paw for them to lick off.

I also dab a little on their paw pads to keep them soft and from cracking.

HEART

Some say that coconut oil is not good for heart health because it contains a large quantity of saturated fats. As per my Chiropractor and the research done at Coconut Research Center, the fact is that it is beneficial for the heart. It helps in actively preventing various heart problems like high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. Coconut oil does not lead to an increase in LDL levels, and it reduces the incidence of injury and damage to arteries.

It improves cholesterol ratio reducing the risk of heart disease.

Protects arteries from injuries that causes atherosclerosis and protects against heart disease.
