what makes 100% ANH raw virgin coconut oil beneficial?

Answer - Lauric Acid

Raw Virgin Coconut Oil is a saturated fat made up of medium chain fatty acids,
the GOOD fats with formidable healing powers.

Medium chain fatty acids are processed directly in the liver and immediately converted into energy, they do NOT get converted into body fat or cholesterol.

Virgin Coconut Oil contains over 50% Lauric acid, the only other abundant
source of Lauric Acid is in mothers breast milk, the body converts Lauric acid
into Monolaurin

Monolaurin is the antibacterial, antiviral and antiprotozoal monoglyceride
substance used by the body to destroy lipid-coated viruses such as HIV,
herpes and influenza viruses.

Monolaurin also kills micro-organisms that cause sinus infections, pneumonia, bladder infections, candidiasis,
measles, epstein barr virus, glandular fever, hepatitis C, food poisoning, gastric ulcers and many other viruses.

Bruce Fife, N.D.

"Coconut oil is the healthiest oil on earth."

Director of the Coconut Research Centre.

Medium chain fatty acids increase metabolism and promote weight loss.

I think I may have just found the best coconut oil I have ever tasted! Coco vida is the highest quality, best tasting coconut
oil and is 100% raw. Not many of us know that the majority of virgin coconut oil that is touted as 'raw' is actually still heat
treated when they extract the coconut out of the shells. Other coconut oils which claim to be raw use heat when it comes to
separating the water from the oil, the last stage before packaging, cocovida let the water evaporate naturally, which can
take anything from 4 to 6 weeks.

I have been using coconut oil in my diet for about a year now but only recently have I been having 3 tablespoons a day in
my smoothies for breakfast. You can also use as a butter as well on your bread/toast. I have noticed that I have lost a bit of
weight and my skin on face is looking better. Another fabulous way to use Coconut Oil is on your skin and also in your hair.

Lots of people still think that Coconut Fat is bad fat, and keep away from it, but if you do some research you will find that this is NOT true, and in actual fact, scientists say that Coconut oil helps you to lose weight because it is burnt up very fast by the body when ingested and really gets your metabolism going. So the more you eat, the better it is for you.

You can use coconut oil in so many ways. In your smoothies like I do (makes them go to that next yummy level!), make raw chocolates, desserts, cakes etc, use as a cooking oil instead of other oils (much safer) and also use it on your skin, it makes a fabulous moisturiser and is very antibacterial on the skin.

I have been dealing with Sarah Jane from Live Longer and Healthier ( I bought a home oxygen machine from them about 6
weeks ago) and I am always very impressed when I speak to her or have any questions to ask. She is highly knowledgeable
and genuinely cares about people getting healthy. There are lots of people and companies out there who push these kind of
products but really its all about the money, Not in this case! Sarah Jane looks for the best kind of products and offers them
at the most affordable price for us. They keep up to date with things that are coming out soon and do their research before
they take any products on.

I usually get my coconut oil from my local health food shop but I can actually get this just as quick from Live Longer and
Healthier because they can get the product to me the day after I order if I order it before 2pm. Now that's quicker than me
getting to the shops sometimes!
