Do you use coconut oil? What benefits does coconut oil provide? Do you like food cooked in coconut oil? Priya replied.




Coconut oil is very good for massaging. It helps in making the muscles of baby strong and getting strong bones. It is used in my family from generations for massaging babies. Even my mother used to massage me with coconut oil. It is nice to keep your skin glowing and soft. It is used in many of the food recipes in my house too. However, we do not use it on a large scale for preparing food items.


Sushma replied. I hate using coconut oil in food. I do not like the smell and it feels as if there is some hair in the food after smelling the food. The food literally smells like hair oiled with coconut oil. It is better to use coconut oil for the external use only. I totally agree with the fact that coconut oil is very good for hair. It is good for skin also and makes it very soft. Especially in winters it helps to take care of dry skin. It is very good for skin and growing strong hair.

Sujata replied. Coconut oil is very good and its smells good too. I am basically from Kerala and our regular meals are cooked in coconut oil. Coconut oil gives a very good flavour and taste to food. My family is very much used to having food cooked in coconut oil. We have food cooked in other edible oils only when we go out for having lunch or dinner. It is really good for health. It is also good for massing your hair and body. It is good for growing long hair.
