Make it your 2010 resolution to squeeze all the fabulous benefits out of Coconut Oil that you can!
Coconut oil is extracted from the kernel or meat of matured coconut harvested from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). Throughout the tropical world it has provided the primary source of fat in the diets of millions of people for generations. It has various applications in food, medicine, and industry.

Coconut Creatives found out about this frightening Statistic whilst working with Dorset Company FitKid.
Coconut Creatives is now helping FitKid launch its Franchise in the UK for the first time, to help combat the emerging statistics on UK child obesity. You can find Coconut Creatives and FitKid at the National Franchise Exhibition stand M90 on the 6th and 7th of October 06 in Birmingham.
Fortunately, the government is fully supportive towards FitKid’s business aims, so it couldn’t be a better time for franchisees to get involved.
FitKid had a famous start, as it was previously owned by Rosemary Conley and now has over 14 years experience in running FitKid Clubs, so FitKid has the skills and knowledge to support franchisees in building a successful franchise business.
Coconut Creatives is working closely with Nicky Kay, FitKid’s Development Director (and mother of two!) to help make active play a priority in childhood through the FitKid Franchise offering.
“With a nation of computer games and cable television, children are becoming less and less active. It’s our job to make fitness fun and give the children of tomorrow an essential life skill,” explains Nicky.
