Coconut Amazing Super Food 

Add caption

To date, there are over 1,500 studies proving coconut oil to be one of the healthiest foods on the planet. Coconut oil benefits and uses go beyond what most people realize, as coconut oil — is a true superfood.

Research has finally uncovered the secrets to this amazing superfood: 

• Caprylic acid
• Lauric acid
• Capric acid

Around 62 percent of the oils in coconut are made up of these three healthy fatty acids, and 91 percent of the fat in coconut oil is healthy saturated fat. This fat composition makes it one of the most beneficial fats on the planet, as the USDA nutrient database shows.

Most of the fats we consume take longer to digest, but MCFAs found in coconut oil provide the perfect source of energy because they only have to go through a three-step process to be turned into fuel vs. other fats that have to go through a 26-step process!

Unlike long-chain fatty acids found in plant-based oils, MCFAs are:

• Easier to digest
• Not readily stored as fat
• Antimicrobial and antifungal
• Smaller in size, allowing easier cell permeability for immediate energy
• Processed by the liver, which means that they’re immediately converted to energy instead of being stored as fat

All of this shows why this oil made from coconut copra makes for a true superfood, and it’s why coconut oil benefits are so plentiful and amazing.

 Coconut Oil Benefits

According to medical research and the USDA nutrient database, coconut oil benefits the body in the following ways:

1. Proven Alzheimer’s Disease Natural Treatment

The digestion of MCFAs by the liver creates ketones that are readily accessible by the brain for energy. Ketones supply energy to the brain without the need of insulin to process glucose into energy.

Recent research has shown that the brain actually creates its own insulin to process glucose and power brain cells. As the brain of an Alzheimer’spatient loses the ability to create its own insulin, the ketones from coconut oil could create an alternate source of energy to help repair brain function. (1,2)

2. Prevents Heart Disease and High Blood Pressure

Coconut oil is high in natural saturated fats. Saturated fats not only increase the healthy cholesterol (known as HDL cholesterol)  in your body, but also help convert the LDL “bad” cholesterol into good cholesterols.

By increasing the HDL in the body, it helps promote heart health and lower the risk of heart disease. Coconut oil also benefits the heart by lowering high triglycerides.

3. Treats Kidney Infection and Protects the Liver

Coconut oil has been known to clear up and heal urinary tract infection (UTI) and kidney infections. The MCFAs in the oil work as a natural antibiotic by disrupting the lipid coating on bacteria and killing them. Research also shows that coconut oil directly protects the liver from damage. (3)

Coconut water also helps hydrate and support the healing process. Doctors have even injected coconut water to clear up kidney stones. Coconut is a powerful superfood, which is evident given all these tremendous coconut oil benefits.

Coconut oil is one of the only foods you could  call a “superfood.”

Reason to Eat Coconut Oil 

Coconut Oil is ANTI-Everything

You’ve probably read about anti-inflammatory foods and how they help reduce free radical production in the body, which keeps your cells healthy by preventing or slowing oxidative stress/damage.

Well coconut oil, not only tops the list of anti-inflammatory foods, but check out its other healing superpowers:

• Anti-bacterial—stops bacteria that cause gum disease, throat infections, urinary tract infections and ulcers in their tracks.
• Anti-carcinogenic—keeps dangerous cancer cells from spreading while boosting immunity.
• Anti-fungal—destroys infection-promoting fungus and yeast.
• Anti-inflammatory—suppresses inflammation and repairs tissue.
• Anti-microbial—inactivates harmful microbes and fights infection.
• Anti-oxidant—protects from free radical damage.
• Anti-retroviral/parasitic/protozoa/viral—destroys HIV and HTLV-1, rids the body of lice, tapeworms and other parasites, kills protozoan infection in the gut, kills viruses that cause influenza, herpes, measles, AIDS, hepatitis and more.

Imagine how your health, immunity, and ability to burn fat would increase if you chose to eat just TWO tablespoons of this superfood?

 Coconut Oil & Blood Sugar  Amazing Super Food 

Coconut oil can control blood sugar and insulin levels.

The healthy fat in coconut oil plays an essential role in regulating blood sugar: it slows the digestive process to ensure a steady, even stream of energy from your food by lowering the overall glycemic index of your meal. When you include coconut oil in a meal with carbohydrates, the carbs are broken down into glucose more slowly, so blood sugar levels remain steady even after you eat.

Coconut oil consists of medium-chain fatty acids (MCTs).

Coconut Oil Lowers Heart Disease

Populations who eat coconut oil are some of the healthiest on the planet, and it’s no surprise that they have the have the strongest hearts.

A study on Polynesians who consume over 60% of their total calories from coconut were shown to be in superb health with no evidence of heart disease. (Read study here)

Switching to coconut oil will have an immediate positive impact on your health and well-being.

 Coconut Oil Boosts Thyroid Function

There are many published studies on the relationship between coconut oil, metabolism and thyroid. Research shows that coconut oil contains unique fatty acids that stimulate metabolism, supply the body with tremendous energy, and promote weight loss.

In order to truly address thyroid problems you need to reduce INFLAMMATION. Coconut oil reduces inflammation 

Coconut Oil Kills Candida Fungus

In a new study, published in the American Society for Microbiology’s journal Sphere, researchers found that coconut oil can fight a bloodstream infection caused by the Candida albicans fungus, according to The Medical Daily.

Symptoms of candida overgrowth are:

• Skin and nail fungal infections, such as athlete’s foot or toenail fungus
• Suffering from chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia
• Bloating, constipation, or diarrhea
• Autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s thyroiditis, rheumatoid arthritis, ulcerative colitis, lupus, psoriasis, scleroderma, or multiple sclerosis
• Skin eczema, psoriasis, hives, and rashes
• Severe seasonal allergies or itchy ears
• Strong sugar and carbohydrate cravings.

Coconut Oil Daily Will Help You Get a Flat Belly

Coconut oil can ALSO  burn stubborn belly fat.

• Simply 2 Tbsp. of coconut oil every day will MELT fat off of the body.
• Coconut oil will give you glowing skin, radiant hair, and a clear brain.

 2 Tbsp. of coconut oil every day is the answer to your health.

Extra Virgin Coconut Oil

In one article I read, patients took 3 teaspoons of extra virgin coconut oil 3x/day for a month and at the end of the treatment period, they tested negative for H. pylori and their symptoms were gone.

Dr. Oz has recommended taking this amount a day as well. On a side note, coconut oil is also good for eliminating fungal infections, including Candida albicans yeast and Chlamydia trachomatis.
