Written by “The coconut nut is a giant nut, if you eat too much you get very fat.”
So goes a line on a familiar song that is sung in the Philippines. But nowadays, drinking coconut oil can actually save your life. To be more specific, it is extra virgin coconut oil that has all the health and life-long benefits that one can have. For instance, a centenarian by the name of Bess Baker Jackson recently celebrated her birthday and attributed her long life to this. Mrs. Jackson was a teacher married to a businessman/manager, and had two daughters with him. She lived through the Great Depression, World War 2, historical moon landing and 9/11. She witnessed the invention of the television, car, jet planes, personal computer, and the Internet. She began taking coconut oil a few years after her husband’s death and about the time when she has just moved in to her new home. She reported using this natural oil for her skin and added it to her tea even.
