Before you say that the words "healthy" and "saturated fats" used together are an oxymoron, let me explain. Coconut Oil contains Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs), as opposed to the Long Chain Fatty Acids (LCFAs) that are found in meats and other fats and oils.

Just add 2-3 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Cold-Pressed Coconut Oil to your diet every day, along with Fresh Coconut, and you'll reap healthy rewards.

I add it to a bowl of hot oatbran cereal for breakfast; and I use it to cook with. You can also add it to smoothies and shakes.

MCFAs are processed and digested differently in the body than LCFAs. MCFAs do not circulate in the bloodstream, and then get stored as fat as is the case with other fats. Instead they go directly to the liver where they are immediately used for energy.

Coconut Oil's many health benefits:

- Controlling weight to be in balance for your metabolic type.
- Fighting infections - it is naturally anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-fungal, and anti-parasitic.
- Lowering bad cholesterol, and protecting the heart from infections.
- Preventing osteoporosis - it enhances absorption and retention of minerals such as calcium.
- Regulating blood sugar - so can be helpful for Diabetics.

Enjoy!
