Coconut oil is one of the most versatile and healthy oils out there. It’s considered a “superfood.” There are so many uses, I couldn’t think of them all at once. Solid at room temperature, the oil melts at about 76 degrees Fahrenheit. I use coconut oil in my daily life, and I believe everyone should.

Coconut oil has healthy fatty acids, and saturated fat which is harmless. It helps with digestion, and can also boost your energy.
