Coconut oil - A Real Eye Opener!

Half of the fat content in coconut oil is lauric acid — a fat rarely
found in nature—that could easily qualify as a "miracle" ingredient
because of its unique health promoting properties. Your body converts
lauric acid into monolaurin, which has anti-viral, anti-bacterial and
anti-protozoa properties.
Additionally, the naturally occurring saturated fat found in coconut oil
also has some amazing health benefits, such as:
Promoting heart health Supporting immune system health Providing you
with an immediate energy source Promoting weight loss Supporting a
healthy metabolism Supporting the proper functioning of your thyroid gland
Your body sends medium-chain fatty acids directly to your liver to use
as energy. This makes coconut oil a powerful source of instant energy to
your body, a function usually served in the diet by simple
carbohydrates. Additionally, research has demonstrated that, due to its
metabolic effect, coconut oil also increases the activity of your
thyroid. And you've probably heard that a sluggish thyroid is one reason
why some people are unable to lose weight, no matter what they do…
Perhaps one of the most interesting benefits of coconut oil is its
potential to ward off, or perhaps even treat, dementia. According to
research by Dr. Mary Newport, ketone bodies—an alternative fuel for your
brain which your body makes when digesting coconut oil—may offer
profound benefits in the fight against Alzheimer's disease.
Furthermore, Dr. Newport believes the benefits of ketone bodies may also
extend to a number of other health conditions, including:
Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, Multiple sclerosis,
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease), Drug
resistant epilepsy, Brittle type I diabetes, Insulin resistance and type
2 diabetes, Improved recovery after heart attack
Coconut oil is the ideal choice for all types of cooking. In fact, it's
the only oil stable enough to resist mild heat-induced damage. So,
whenever you need an oil to cook or bake with, use coconut oil instead
of butter, olive oil, vegetable oil, margarine, or any other type of oil
called for in recipes. Even though I don't fully recommend frying foods,
if you must fry, by all means use coconut oil -- it's your smartest
choice. I typically have one to two tablespoons of coconut oil several
times a week.
While virgin coconut oil has been documented to help alleviate, ease,
protect against and even cure many ailments, it is still vital that the
individual maintain a healthy lifestyle, exercise regularly, eat a
balance diet of the right kind of food, and drink lots of water.
