Coconut oil is a powerful, versatile ingredient that can benefit your health in surprising ways. Renowned health educator and naturopath Dr. Barbara O’Neill highlights how adding coconut oil to your routine can support brain health, improve skin and hair, and even boost oral hygiene. Packed with medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), coconut oil provides ketones—an alternative energy source that supports cognitive function and may help prevent age-related cognitive decline. If you’re looking to support memory and mental clarity, consider incorporating coconut oil into your diet.
As a moisturizer, coconut oil penetrates the skin to provide deep hydration, strengthening the skin barrier and keeping it soft. When used on hair, coconut oil reduces protein loss, leading to shinier, healthier strands. Simply apply a small amount to dry skin or use it as a hair mask for improved hydration and strength. Its nourishing properties make it an easy addition to any skincare or haircare routine.
