Tremendous benefits of coconut oil
1. Makes hair long, thick and shiny
Coconut oil is no less than a boon for hair. The lauric acid and fatty acids present in it go to the roots of the hair and nourish them and reduce hair fall, dandruff and dryness. Apply lukewarm coconut oil twice a week and massage with light hands. Leave it overnight and wash it with mild shampoo in the morning. You will get tremendous benefits from this.
2. Gives natural glow to the skin
The antioxidants and antibacterial properties present in coconut oil moisturize the skin and fight pimples. After bathing, apply a little coconut oil on the face and body. It works as a natural moisturizer for those with dry skin.
3. Helpful in cleaning teeth and gums
Very few people know that oil pulling with coconut oil removes bad breath, yellowness and gum problems. For this, put a teaspoon of coconut oil in the mouth every morning and rinse for 10 to 15 minutes. After this, spit it out, then rinse with lukewarm water.
4. Treatment of chapped lips and heels
Be it winter or summer, chapped lips and dry heels are a problem of every season. Coconut oil is very effective in curing them. Leave it on the lips overnight. Applying this oil on the heels gives soft and smooth skin.
5. Helps in weight loss
Coconut oil contains medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) which help in burning fat and do not let you feel hungry for a long time. This prevents overeating and does not cause problems like obesity. For this, you can take 1 teaspoon of virgin coconut oil on an empty stomach in the morning. However, do consult a doctor before doing this.
