The Many Health Benefits of Coconut Oil
Have you heard about coconut oil yet? People are adding coconut
oil to their diets and are getting incredible results. They are
losing weight, getting more energy, and getting healthier.
Coconut oil is safe to use, and does not turn to fat in your
body. It raises the metabolism, so you burn more fat and have
more energy. It does not increase your cholesterol, but actually
helps lower it. Coconut oil is wonderful diet addition for just
about everyone.
Coconut oil is full of healthy benefits. Next to mother's milk,
it is nature's highest source of medium chain fatty acids
(MTC's), which raise the body's metabolism, leading to weight
loss. It has fatty acids such as lauric acid and monoglycerides,
similar to mother's breast milk.
When lauric acid is consumed in the body, whether through
mother's milk or coconut oil, it enhances the immune system to
help the body fight infections, diseases, bad bacteria and yeast
invasions. Lauric aid is known to be anti-viral, anti-fungal and
anti-bacterial.
Coconut oil raises the metabolism, which helps people who are
trying to lose weight and people suffering from thyroid
problems. Coconut stabilizes the blood sugar levels, helping
with diabetes. It also protects the heart cells from damage.
Coconut oil helps relieve the symptoms of menopause, and
pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS). Many women who suffer the effects
of PMS have found the symptoms lessened when coconut oil was
consumed often in their
diet.
Coconut oil does not raise cholesterol. Studies have shown that
people who use coconut oil have lower cholesterol than those who
do not, even when the people consuming coconut also eat other
high cholesterol foods like eggs and meat.
Coconut oil smells good, tastes pleasant and is so good for our
bodies that some people consume it straight, by the tablespoon,
and use it in place of other oils on their salads. Many people
also use it as an ingredient when juicing or making smoothies.
If all this good news isn't enough, coconut oil one of the best
things you can apply directly on your skin and hair. It not only
gives temporary relief to skin problems like rashes, but it aids
in healing and restoring skin to a younger appearance. It has
also been known to help with people who suffer from yeast
infections in the skin, and there is solid research that shows
the MCTs in coconut oil do overcome yeast infections. Coconut
oil also makes an excellent massage oil.
