What are the benefits of pure coconut oil?
:Much has been said and written about the benefits of this oil. Let us just summarize them. • Health Benefits: It lowers bad cholesterol level, raises good cholesterol level, good for heart, fights infections, takes care of the skin and is very good for hair. • Other Benefits: Being very stable oil, it is not spoiled or broken down easily by heat or enzymes or microbial action. That is why it does not go rancid easily too. It is used less in cooking and hence proves inexpensive. How about some fish fried in coconut oil this evening? Not a bad idea, isn’t it?
