Benefits of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

By Laura Ng

Before I show you the benefits of coconut oil, I just wanted to let you know that there's in fact no such thing as "extra virgin coconut oil". That's because coconut oil is not officially classified (like olive oil) based on their production method, acidity level and flavor. So, when companies label their coconut oil as 'extra virgin', it simply means the same as virgin coconut oil.

Virgin coconut oil carries the most health benefits as compared to other types of coconut oil due to its full nutritional values being retained through its cold-pressed extraction method. The most powerful nutrient in it is none other than its plentiful supply of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs).

Because of its massive amount of MCFAs, virgin coconut oil (or "extra virgin coconut oil") can help you ward off diseases like heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, diabetes, breast cancer and many others. It can also help you kill most viruses, fungi and bacteria. Even the killer HIV is no match for coconut oil.

Besides healing you internally, it does wonders to your skin too — relieving symptoms associated with psoriasis, eczema, dermatitis and cure your dry, flaky skin in matter of days. Oh, it helps you purge out all your acnes and return you a smooth, spotless skin too.

Are you getting enough of what coconut oil can do for you? Wait till you get to the full version of virgin coconut oil's health benefits. I mean, once you unleash the power of coconut oil, you're not gonna sleep tonight, especially when you've been plagued by illnesses that can be undone with virgin coconut oil.
