Coconut Oil - Alzheimer's/Dementia treatment and other health benefits

I have recently been made aware of the significant benefits of coconut oil and implemented it into my diet.  The benefits are seemingly endless - healthier skin, healthier hair, healthier mind, healthier body now and in the future...



Coconut oil, while used in many other countries for years, received a bad rap in the U.S. for a while.  It's benefits are now becoming more known and appreciated.  Many are realizing that it is possibly essential to our diets.

Coconut oil...
increases the immune system
increases energy,
improves the digestive system,
improves heart health,
improves skin and hair,
improves brain functioning,
helps to maintain healthy blood sugar,
helps with weight loss,
helps to maintain healthy cholesterol levels,
helps to prevent some diseases such as Alzheimer's/Dementia, cancer, and diabetes.
etc...

 
 
Dr. Mary Newport has done significant research on the benefits of coconut oil, especially on the possibility of it preventing and even helping to cure Alzheimer's/Dementia disease after her husband was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease.  You can check out her website at http://coconutketones.com/ and her blog at http://coconutketones.blogspot.com/.  Her book is "Alzheimer's Disease: What If There Was a Cure?"  If you have experienced a loved one with this terrible and sad disease, I'm sure you understand the importance of taking steps to prevent it.

Coconut oil can be used in cooking, added to smoothies/health shakes, consumed raw (1 tablespoon/day), or taken in pill form.  The Virgin/Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is recommended.

You can also use it as a skin moisturizer and a hair treatment.  I keep a container in the bathroom and moisturize with it as soon as I get out of the shower.


So be good to your body and mind!  Go buy yourself some coconut oil (or order the pill supplement) today and start reaping the short and long-term benefits!


Thanks for reading and God Bless!

  1. I admire what you have done here. I like the part where you say you are doing this to give back but I would assume by all the comments that this is working for you as well.
