(Coconut oil) serves to help protect the immune system

Coconut oil is a fat obtained from dry or fresh coconut, and is called refined or extra-virgin coconut oil, respectively. Extra virgin coconut oil has the most health benefits, as it does not undergo refinement processes and does not lose nutrients or is subjected to high temperatures.

Natural coconut oil is very versatile because, in addition to food, it can also be used as a moisturizer for the face, in the hair mask.

The main benefits of coconut oil are:

Strengthening of the immune system, due to the presence of lauric acid;
Hydration of skin and hair, due to their nourishing properties;
Anti-aging effect of the skin, due to its high concentration of antioxidants;
Contribution to weight loss, as several studies indicate that this oil may increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation;
Increased satiety, thus helping to lose weight, since the desire to eat is reduced.

In addition, coconut oil is thought to be able to balance cholesterol levels and improve bowel function, but studies are still inconsistent.
