We may not have done research but there has been a few articles in the past about the benefits of Coconut Oil. It helps raise metabolism. It's always good to get a reminder about it:)

Hi Breizh, I think a lot of us try to incorporate coconut oil in our diet. It's a very good fat as a medium chain fatty acid if I recall. Coconut water is very hydrating as well. First thing in the morning is a good time to start with it as Shaws says, it raises metabolism.

It's really very good for you!

Best eat the organic type in a glass jar, rather than plastic.

You can even get a spreadable to replace butter, though I'm not so keen on the taste.

It's expensive but seems to last for months.

All coconut oil is produced using the slash and burn method of ruining our rainforests.

I didn't know that - will need to do more research - thanks Glynisrose
