Why You Should be Using Coconut Oil Everyday

Coconut oil is one of nature's greatest gifts ever given to us. It's benefits are virtually endless, ranging from uses for a natural makeup remover to treating Alzheimer's. The only down side about this article is that we are having to condense the list of all the benefits down from a number well into the hundreds to just a few of our favorites.

Not only are the uses of coconut oil beneficial to beauty, they are key factors in keeping your health in it's prime! How is it actually good for you, though? It contains several vital nutrients for your beauty and health which are:

• Antioxidants, which are compounds in food that stop or delay damage to the cells. (read more on antioxidants here).
• Lauric Acid, which is a saturated fat commonly used for the treatment of viral infections, the common cold, yeast infections, and the list goes on and on (read more on lauric acid here).
• Caprylic Acid, which is a fatty acid that has anti-fungal, anti-microbial, and anti-inflammatory properties. It is commonly used to treat skin conditions, digestive disorders, and high cholesterol (read more on caprylic acid here).
