COCONUT OIL
Coconut oil has been used for centuries as a vital source of food for health and general well being in traditional communities of tropical regions. Recent research verifies traditional beliefs that the coconut palm is “The Tree of Life” and that, just like any other pure, whole food,
coconuts and virgin coconut oil have a significant role to play in a well balanced, nutritious diet. Abandoning unhealthy lifestyles and reverting to natural foods can help to reverse many of the diseases that have manifested in our bodies through the highly refined diet of our modern society.
Research shows that
replacing other cooking oils with virgin coconut oil generally creates a more favorable HDL/LDL ratio. This oil has antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiprotozoal properties and, like all whole foods, contains nutrients for a healthy body.
Saturated Fat: A Vital Ingredient for a Healthy Body: Over many decades coconut oil received bad publicity due to its saturated fat content,
but research has shown that not all saturated fats are alike and coconut oil is unique in its structural make-up. It is not only the highest source of saturated fats (92%) but included in this is the highest source of saturated medium chain triglycerides (62%) of any naturally occurring vegan food source. Furthermore around 50% of these MCT’s are made up of
lauric acid, the most important essential fatty acid in building and maintaining the body’s
immune system.
It should also be remembered that the negative research done on coconut oil in the past was the result of one study conducted four decades ago, using hydrogenated oil (which has been altered from its original form), not on virgin oil. Research shows that some saturated fat is in fact necessary for human health and modern research shows that the medium chain fatty acids help to
increase metabolism and are more easily digested than fats found in other oils. This is because they are processed directly in the liver and immediately converted into energy. There is therefore less strain on the liver, pancreas and digestive system and these MCFA provide the body with a wonderful, quick source of energy.
Wonders of coconut oil:
1. Scientific studies have proven that coconut oil has anti microbial and natural antibiotic qualities
Virgin coconut oil is about 50 percent
lauric acid and similar only to the large amounts of lauric acid in human breast milk, both having similar healthy effects. Lauric acid has another beneficial function of taking on the form of monolaurin.
Monolaurin is antiviral that kills viruses including herpes, HIV and numerous bacteria such as listeria monocytogenes .
2. Pure coconut oil really encourages weight loss!
The beneficial
medium chain fatty acids found in pure unrefined coconut oil do not collect in the blood like other fatty acids, but are transported quickly to the liver where they are exchanged into energy rather than be stored as fatty tissue. Scientist have found that MCFA in coconut oil also speeds up the body's metabolic process burning more calories and therefore weight loss is achieved.
3. Coconut oil is a supplement and can be a cooking Oil.
Three to four tablespoonfuls of virgin coconut oil a day provides enough lauric acid to support the immune system. Frying foods with coconut oil unlike
hydrogenated oils which have the dangerous trans fatty acids from our diet keeps your system healthy.
