Benefits of coconut oil:

1. Weight loss
Coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids, also called medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are beneficial for energy metabolism.
MCTs are easily digested and quickly converted into ketones, a readily available fuel source for our cells. This may explain why coconut oil is known to curb appetite and promote weight loss.

2. Healthy Heart
Coconut oil is rich in natural saturated fats which promote healthy cholesterol levels. A balanced cholesterol level protects your heart and reduces the risk of heart disease.
Consuming coconut oil lowers harmful LDL cholesterol levels while increasing healthy HDL cholesterol levels.

3. Antiviral and Antimicrobial
Coconut oil is a rich source of saturated fatty acids, including lauric acid and caprylic acid. These saturated fats have powerful antimicrobial and antifungal properties that support your immune system and reduce the risk of microbial infection.
The only dietary sources of lauric acid are coconut oil, coconut milk, and palm oil.

4. Healthy Brain Function
The lauric acid in coconut oil has powerful antioxidant properties. It can reduce damage to neurons and brain cells, which promotes healthy brain function.

5. Mood enhancement
Coconut oil increases your brain's sensitivity to dopamine, a neurotransmitter. Dopamine is your body's natural feel-good chemical associated with feelings of pleasure and a reduction in anxiety and negative emotions.
Coconut oil also has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and may be beneficial for maintaining healthy brain cell function.

6. Dental health
Coconut oil reduces levels of oral bacteria, which reduces plaque production. Reduce bad breath

7. Skin and hair health
Pure coconut oil has long been a leading natural treatment for skin and hair. Its unique fatty acid content helps keep skin hydrated and hair healthy.
