When coconut oil is absorbed into the skin and connective tissues, it helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by helping to keep connective tissues strong and supple. Coconut oil has wonderful antioxidant properties that protect the skin from free radical damage.
Consuming a total of about 2-3 tablespoons of coconut oil per day can help the body convert cholesterol into a form that it can use, and prevent the build-up of plaque in the arteries. Coconut oil also contains lauric acid, a natural fat that improves blood coagulation and wards off heart disease.
