Some history on the benefits of the Coconut
In this day and age, we are bombarded with information by social media, infomercials,
billboards-the list goes on and on. Companies scramble to offer us the latest and
greatest products, and we want to believe. They’re so convincing! If a prolific
personality touts a product’s virtue, then it must be worth our money. Unfortunately,
some companies only want to make a buck. So, how do we separate truth from fiction.
Not all products are brand new. Not all are cutting edge. But, sometimes we’re lucky
enough to discover a product that’s tried and true. Some have been around for
hundreds of years, while others have been around for thousands. Maybe you’ve heard
of them, maybe you haven’t.
Coconut oil is a tried and true product. For thousands of years, coconut oil has been
used to benefit the body, mind, and soul. Coconuts have been used in tropical regions
from the beginning of time. Coconut oil was and is greatly valued for its anti-fungal,
anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties.
The benefits don’t end there. The coconut’s resume grows ever impressive as time
goes by. Did you know coconut oil can give a much needed energy boost? It’s not
uncommon to see coconut oil listed as an ingredient in sports nutrition bars and drinks.
Move over, Gatorade!
And, coconut oil isn’t just good for your insides. Your outside will thank you for it, too!
Coconut oil not only softens skin but prevents wrinkles, sagging, and age spots. It can
improve the health of your hair and nails. It can even be used as nature’s very own
sunscreen. In this world of ever changing media blitz, coconut oil has remained steadfast. Who
can argue the test of time?
The coconut has been around for years, but we are only recently touting its benefits.
