A member asked:
Does putting coconut oil on my skin and on my head( bald) helps make it smoother and clearer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: There is nothing magical about coconut oil. Any oil will provide similar benefit. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
