Coconut Oil for Great Hair and for Health!

Coconut oil is about 50 percent lauric acid, a rare medium-chain fatty acid found in mother's milk that supports healthy metabolism. It also has anti-fungal, anti-viral, and anti-bacterial, health-protecting properties. The traditional Pacific Islander diet included large quantities of coconut meat and oil, and those who still follow this diet have a low incidence of heart disease or weight issues.

When a Western-style diet including vegetable oils replaces their traditional, all of the fat-related diseases common in the developed nations, such as coronary heart disease begins to appear, their immune systems get weaker and serum cholesterol levels go up. Enjoy up to three tablespoons per day to increase metabolism. Tip: Add 1-2 tablespoons to a fruit smoothie.

Besides its nutritional value, pure coconut oil is amazing as a deep conditioner for the hair. If you would like to add sheen and luster to your hair, try coconut oil.
