Chapter 6 - The Many Health Benefits of Coconut Oil
|
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 actually has fatty acids
like 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.
There have been some promising studies on the effects of coconut oil on
HIV sufferers. Early results are showing that coconut oil does have an
anti-viral effect and can help reduce the viral load of HIV patients.
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.
Unlike refined vegetable oils, coconut oil does not become rancid
easily. When oil becomes rancid it becomes toxic as it oxidizes and
causes free-radical damage in the body. The unsaturated oils in cooked
foods can become rancid within hours of cooking it, even in the
refrigerator. Coconut oil is so stable that it can be left a room
temperature for at least a year, and it will not become rancid. Some
coconut oil producers say coconut oil will last at least 3 years at
room temperature before becoming rancid. Since it is such a stable
cooking oil, you can use coconut oil in place of other oils, margarine,
butter and shortening, for all your cooking needs.
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.
