Amazing, don’t you think?

Coconut oil is often preferred by athletes and body builders and by those who are trying to lose weight since it helps boost your energy level and adds to endurance. The reason is that it contains fewer calories than other oils, is because its fat content is easily converted into energy and it does not lead to accumulation of fat in your heart and arteries. It can help fortify your body’s natural immunities when it tries to fight off various viruses and bacterial infections, including herpes, influenza (“flu”) and possibly even HIV.

What exactly is coconut oil made of? It is more than 90% saturated fats, but don’t let this scare you. It is different from other saturated fats and the human body treats it differently. It also has traces of some unsaturated fatty acids, such as monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids.
