Coconut Oil 1/2L
Benefits Of Coconut Oil :
Coconut oil is almost 100 per cent fat, 90 per cent of which is saturated fat. This is the reason why coconut oil, when kept in cold or room temperature, has a firm texture. Fat is made up of smaller molecules called fatty acids, and there are several types of saturated fatty acids in coconut oil. The most found type of fat in coconut oil is a type of fat called Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFAs), most notably in the form of lauric acid. These are harder for the body to convert into stored fat and easier to burn off than long-chain triglycerides (LCTs). Coconut oil contains Vitamin E, but there is no fibre and little to no other vitamins or minerals. Fat is an essential part of a healthy, balanced diet — it is a source of essential fatty acids and helps the body absorb fat-soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K.
A great example of a controversial food is coconut oil. It is generally praised by the media, but some scientists doubt it lives up to the hype.
It has mainly gotten a bad rap because it is very high in saturated fat. But new studies suggest saturated fat is not as unhealthy as previously believed.
Is coconut oil an artery-clogging junk food or a perfectly healthy cooking oil? This article looks at the evidence.
Heart Health:
Coconut oil contains natural saturated fats that increase HDL (good) cholesterol levels in your body. There are two types of cholesterol: high-density lipoprotein (HDL), or good cholesterol, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL), or bad cholesterol. By increasing HDL, many experts believe that coconut oil may boost heart health compared with many other fats. Regularly eating coconut oil improves the levels of lipids circulating in the blood, potentially reducing the risk of heart disease.
Weight Loss:
One reason weight gain occurs is when people consume more calories than they use for energy. The MCTs in coconut oil can increase the number of calories your body burns compared with longer-chain fatty acids.
Helps In Reducing Hunger:
Some people have said that coconut oil leaves them feeling fuller after eating, which means they will not eat so much. This is because MCTs are known to help reduce hunger. This may be the reason for the way your body metabolises fats as ketones can reduce a person's appetite. Coconut oil is one of the key ingredients in the Keto Diet.
Helps With Fertility: Adding coconut oil to your diet can help maintain a pH that promotes vaginal health, which is essential for fertility.
Helps With Indigestion: Coconut oil has medium-chain fatty acids that are natural antiseptics. This helps kill some of the bad bacteria in your stomach, aids the body in the production of chloride, which balances stomach acids, and it relieves some of the damage done to the oesophagus by the acid it's continuously exposed to.
