Coconut oil is very high in fatty acids – medium-chain fatty acids, to be exact. These types of fatty acids are healthy as they’re both easily digested and absorbed. Your body then uses them as a source of energy, but also for other curative, restorative, and preventative measures. It’s an anti-microbial, anti-carcinogenic, antioxidant, and an anti-inflammatory. Coconut oil also improves your body’s nutrient absorption (particularly with vitamins A, D, E and K).
