Worldwide in traditional medicine, coconut oil has been used for a variety  of symptoms and diseases. To name a few coconut oil or in some other form had been used to ease and help cure abscesses, baldness, bronchitis, burns, colds, constipation, cough, earache, rash, scabies, sore throat, toothache and including tuberculosis, ulcers, weakness, wounds and many more.

Modern science has verified the efficacy of coconut in treating  diseases through clinical trials. Studies in published journals show that coconut oil in one form or another  provides a bevy of health benefits, alleviates painful conditions and can greatly help in some diseases.

Here are important  findings:

·         Decreases cholesterol and  LDL cholesterol or  the so-called bad cholesterol  dramatically decreasing your risk of heart disease

Coconut oil is loaded with saturated fat almost 90% and not until lately was considered bad for the heart. Studies reveal that the saturated fatty acid of coconut differs significantly from that of meat. Analysis of the saturated fatty acid of coconut oil was found to be medium chain triglycerides as contrasted to most fatty acids found in meat and oils that are called long-chain fatty acids, the harmful kind of saturated fat. The medium chain fatty acids of coconut oil are used differently by the body. Upon consumption they  go straight to the liver and are used as a quick source of energy and then turned into ketone bodies.

Experiments and studies show that the saturated fatty acid in coconut oil raises the high density lipoprotien (HDL) the so-called “good cholesterol” and lowers the Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) also known as the “bad cholesterol.” A such, it decreases the significant risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease such as atheroscelrosis that can clogs the arteries and over time cause heart diseaase, heart attacks and  strokes.

·         Coconut is a source of energy which produces ketones and is helpful in Alzheimer’s  disease and in seizures.

A diet of coconut which is considered as a very low carbohydrate diet  but a very high fat diet and produces ketones. The finding that people afflicted with Alzheimer’disease can benefit from coconut oil is due to the fact that the brains of Alzheimer’s patients have a decreased ability to utilize glucose for energy but ketone bodies are instead used for energy. Ketones provide an alternative energy sourc for malfunctioning brain cells and ease symptoms of Alzheimer’s.

·         Coconut is effective against some viruses and other microorganisms

Coconut oil contains lauric acid and is converted into monolaurin. Monolaurin has a disinfecting and anti0microbial effect that can help protect the body from different harmful viruses and bacteria  such as herpes, inluenza, cyotmegalvirus, measles, hepatitis C, and SARS. Studies are curently being conducte on its efficienty on HIV.

·         Coconut oil helps burn fat resulting in  weight loss

While the world is reeling from the obesity epidemic,  coconut oil comes to the rescue. The medium chain fatty acids  of coconut oil increases energy expenditure  when compared to the same amount of calories burned from longer chain fatty acids. It was discovered that coconut oil increases the daily energy expenditure by 5% which can effectively lead to weight loss over time.

Coconut oil have been found to help in digestive disorders, malabsorption syndromes and cystic fibrosis;  improve absorption of vitamins, minerals and  amino acids, improve insulin secretion, boost energy and endurance; help relieve symptoms of gallbalddr diesease; used for skin and hair care and a many many more. Truly, it is considered as a superfood.

Now, when you choose to consume coconut oil don’t choose just any kind of  coconut oil. Cold pressed coconut oil is the best and is known as virgin coconut oil. The process of extractiing the oil is through a cold pressed method without us eof heat which retains its flavor.

Coconut oil is flavorful. It fill your senses with a wonderful nutty aroma. It shouldn’t  be difficult  to eat too.
