Cold weather is coming and we all know this is the jolly time when skin starts to dry up like a raisin. Lips are crusty, skin cracks and burns. Lotion refuses to work. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I have been using coconut oil for six months and have researched and discovered for myself some impeccable qualities it possesses. There is much more to coconut oil than being a skin moisturizer.
Here are 10 ways coconut oil has helped me:
Coconut oil helps weight loss
All those ridiculous diets could have been avoided by ingesting coconut oil instead. If only I had known sooner for the sake of my close relationship with chocolate!
It's an antibacterial and antifungal
Any health freaks out there like me? Coconut oil kills bacteria whether it be on your face—yes, I mean acne—or on cuts and wounds. The anti-fungal is a major plus. No more warts and no more fungus! Say goodbye to athlete's foot my people.
Gym time equals coconut time
I have been trying to gain muscle mass for years. Then I read that coconut oil, when ingested, helps with gaining muscle. Time to get my results and make the gym worth my time!
Helps prevent Alzheimer's or bring memories back
If you know someone with Alzheimer's like me, this is interesting news for you. With the seriousness of Alzheimer's, anything is worth a try to bring a loved one back to reality.
Good for the Heart and other organs
Let's keep things working inside. Coconut oil makes things run smoothly—no pun intended.
Great for skin and hair
I struggled with acne all my life, going through plenty of medications. The natural antibacterial properties and hydration made my acne go away. Not to mention the smoothness of my skin and hair.
Improves digestions
Honestly, we all struggle with digestion sometimes and it is not fun.
Good for oral health
Who would have thought that coconut oil is the ultimate tooth paste?
Helps balance hormones
Ladies, we relate to this on a personal level. When my hormones are off balance, I am the worst person to be around. Coconut oil helps balance those hormones that make you cry for no reason and give you acne for no reason!
No more chapped lips!
I have always had a problem with chapped lips. No matter how much chap stick I layer on, the results are still dry. With the cold weather approaching, it will only get worse. Coconut oil is the only product that has been able to relieve my chapped lips!
When in doubt, I am sure there is something coconut oil can do. Maybe it's not for you, but it might work for a friend! It definitely worked for me.
