Is Extra-Virgin Coconut Oil beneficial for your health?

I've heard that coconut oil (the good kind) is supposed to be good for the thyroid, and now I'm starting to believe it. I've been using about 3 Tablespoons of extra-virgin coconut oil in my smoothies, not every day but probably at least 4 to 5 times a week, and I'm not feeling as tired as I was. In fact, I've had some trouble going to sleep for the past two nights because I have my smoothie late in the evening, and then I'm not tired when I go to bed. I guess I should change my smoothie times.

I've also noticed I'm not feeling as cold as I was, and I think I'm actually gaining some fat underneath my skin on my face. This is a good thing for me because I was looking kind of gaunt, and my chiropractor said he could use me as his skeleton since I am so skinny. A symptom of hypothyroidism is supposed to be weight gain but this has never been the case for me.

I'm anxious to see if my hair stops falling out in the shower and if my skin is dry this winter. In the meantime, I think I'll keep using the coconut oil because I think it's having a positive impact on my health. Read more!
