Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

More and more reports are coming out on the benefits of including coconut oil in your diet that one has to think it might just be good for you in more ways than you think.  My personal research into coconut oil was based on my father passing from Alzheimer's disease.  As we get older our bodies can not process the nutrients our brain needs to retain memories so certain brain functions cease to function. Adding virgin coconut oil to a persons diet on a daily basis skips our bodies nutrient transportation system and feeds the brain with the nutrients it needs for memory retention.  Check out the video below about Dr. Mary Newport and her husband Steve and the reversal of his Alzheimer disease.


  

And yet there are many other uses for coconut oil that are not in the mainstream media database.  Here are just a few benefits to your health that I have seen lately in my personal research.  I am not a doctor or scientist but some of the people posting this information are.
