Coconut Oil
This ingredient barely made it onto the list so be cautious about overdoing coconut oil! Coconut oil’s lauric acid can increase LDL cholesterol but it also contains HDL cholesterol. If you remember, LDL cholesterol is the one we want less of however we want more HDL. The idiom elementary teachers use for glue, “a little dab will do ya,” certainly applies here! Coconut oil is incredible for skin conditions due to its external anti-inflammatory properties. From dandruff to yeast infections, coconut oil is your skin’s best friend.
