Coconut Oil Benefits

Coconut is one of the humblest food in Earth. A coconut is a fibrous one-seeded drupe, also known as a dry drupe. However, when using loose definitions, the coconut can be all three: a fruit, a nut, and a seed The coconut tree has no branches, only leaves, which are far away on the top of the tree and are used by people in various things. Coconut tree only grows in tropical climate and are likely to be found in coastal areas. Coconut trees require regular rainfall to grow and also, they only grow in sandy soil, that may the reason of the extraordinary benefits the Coconut has. 

 

There are so many proven benefits, specially coconut oil. A growing body of research shows that adding coconut oil to your diet and your person could be one of the easiest ways to improve your health, well-being, appearance, and even your sex life. Let's mention some of them

It kills bacteria

One of the most popular benefit of coconut oil and enomerous sources of information where you can read this "Around half of the fatty acids in coconut oil are lauric acid. Lauric acid is particularly good at killing bacteria, viruses, and fungi; therefore, it's great in helping you stave off infections when used externally. To get the most potent antibacterial properties, a Journal of Medicinal Food study found virgin coconut oil—rather than refined—to be your best bet.

On the other hand, when you ingest coconut oil, it reacts with enzymes to forms a monoglyceride called monolaurin. And guess what? Monolaurin is great for killing harmful pathogens, too! In addition to keeping all kinds of nastiness at bay, both of these substances have been shown to kill the bacteria and very dangerous pathogen, Staphylococcus aureus and the yeast Candida albicans, which is a common source of yeast infections" (Source :eatthis.com)

A Boost in Good Cholesterol

Coconut oil is said to modestly hike one's level of good cholesterol.

Good for Blood Sugar and Diabetes

Coconut oil can aid in lowering obesity levels in the body and also battles insulin resistance - issues that often lead to type II diabetes.

Helps Fight Back Against Alzheimer's Disease

The MCFA component in coconut oil - especially its generation of ketones by the liver - aids in mending brain function in Alzheimer patients. There have been some claims that coconut oil could be used as a treatment, or even a cure, for Alzheimer's disease. However, there is currently not enough experimental evidence to back up these claims The claim is based on the theory that the brain cells of people with Alzheimer's disease are unable to use glucose to produce energy properly, and so the nerve cells 'starve'. 

Some believe coconut oil may act as an alternative energy source for the brain. However, there is not enough scientific evidence to know whether this is the case. 

Coconut oil curbs appetite

This is related to the MCT's (Medium Chain Triglicerids) that is extracted directly from the Coconut Oil. C8 C10 are the best sources of GOOD FAT out of the MCT's. "Scientists suspect that coconut oil's interesting effect on hunger may be related to the way the fatty acids in it are metabolized. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition of 14 healthy men discovered that those who ate the most MCTs at breakfast ate significantly fewer calories at lunch and had regulated blood sugar, proving that adding the MCT-rich benefits of coconut oil to one's diet could have a very positive effect on weight and body composition. You can also use a blender to add it to your coffee for a tasty pick-me-up" (Source: eatthis.com)

It's worth noting that, component-wise, coconut oils often differ in their make-up, and differ in their health benefits.

For example, partially hydrogenated coconut oil isn't deemed as healthy by nutritionists - it's similar as other processed oils that hold trans fats. Yet so-called "virgin" coconut oil comes from fruit component of coconuts, and is extracted without the use of chemicals or other foreign agents. Thus, nutritionists look more favorably on virgin coconut oil
