Virgin Coconut Oil

Instead of buying ghee, I decided to buy coconut oil from the Indian store. Where I come from.. we use coconut oil instead of ghee with green gram dhal or horse gram dal. I had coconut oil with horse gram dal. I had sorta "diarrhea" symptom this evening which led me to google whether it was due to the coconut oil I had this noon.

Following is what I found.

virgin coconut oil eases constipation because it is fibrous and it cleanses the colon very effectively. It also increases your metabolism rate letting your system break down food faster and effectively which can lead to increased bowel movement and weight reduction.

Virgin coconut oil is also an anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-viral agent. The fatty acids found in virgin coconut oil can also boost your immune system and equips it with the tools it needs to fight off bacteria, diseases and other infections.

The distinctive characteristic that sets virgin coconut oil apart from other harmful oils is that it doesn’t turn to fat. It is incredibly safe and it can actually lower your cholesterol.

Interesting..isn't it?
