Cooking With Coconut Oil

摘要

While coconut trees might not grow in your neighborhood, they do so in abundance in tropical regions. And coconut oil, packed full of good saturated fats, has been used for thousands of years as an external beauty product and an internal medicine. Saturated fats are essential to living a long, healthy life. According to Teya Skae, author and founder of Empowered Living health and life coaching, "Saturated fatty acids give our cells structural integrity [and they] are needed for the proper utilization of omega-3 essential fatty acids, because omega-3s are better retained in the tissues when the diet is rich in saturated fats."
