5. Improves Brain Function
It has been known for over 10 years now that the primary type of fat in coconut oil is medium chain triglycerides. The journal Neurobiology of Aging reported back then that the study conducted in 2004 proved that the fat contained in coconut oil improves cognitive performance, especially in aging adults who suffer from memory disorders. It takes only a few months and, in some cases, just several days to boost cognitive performance in people suffering from Alzheimer’s and other serious issues of this type.

6. Skin Moisturizer
Are you sick and tired of pimples? Instead of purchasing expensive lotions, first try coconut oil. Not only will it help you get rid of your acne, it will also smooth the skin. It works as a moisturizer as well! What you eventually get is healthy and glowing skin and fair complexion. Apply coconut oil onto the skin for at least a month to see the first results. People who are looking for effective treatment of eczema are recommended to use coconut oil since it contains Lauric acid, a strong antibacterial agent.
