What is coconut oil and why should you use it every day?
Coconut oil is a vegetable oil pressed from the flesh of the coconut. To make sure you’re looking at the right thing, a good guideline is to use the word ‘cold-pressed’ or ‘virgin’. Cold-pressed coconut oil is characterised by a white glassy texture, a pleasantly sweet coconut aroma and a melt-in-the-mouth texture.
People are often confused about the difference between coconut fat and coconut oil.Fat is a combination of fatty acids, hence ‘coconut fat’, but since coconut oil is liquid at 25C, the term ‘coconut oil’ is used.”
Hydrogenated fat is not beneficial.
Besides unsaturated fatty acids, the body also needs saturated fatty acids. Coconut oil contains 92% saturated fatty acids, two thirds of which are medium chain fatty acids, The fatty acid composition of cold-pressed coconut oil is the secret of its weight-loss properties. Coconut oil provides energy, speeds up metabolism, boosts immunity and helps lower bad cholesterol levels, which are more easily absorbed by the body.
Coconut oil is a vegetable oil that contains no cholesterol and does not raise bad cholesterol levels. It contains less net fat and calories per unit weight than any other dietary fat. One gram of coconut oil contains only 6.8 kcal, other oils contain on average 9 kcal.
Coconut oil also contains lauric acid, which gives coconut oil an immune-boosting effect similar to that of mother’s milk. This fatty acid has a very strong anti-microbial and anti-fungal effect. Caprylic acid in coconut oil is used as an anti-inflammatory treatment for fungal infections. The lauric acid and caprylic acid both work against viruses, fungi and microbes. At the same time, they keep friendly and good bacteria alive. Plus, they kill excess yeast growth in your body.
Also, the monounsaturated oleic acid in coconut oil makes it as beneficial as olive oil.
Coconut oil supports pancreatic function, improves the body’s use of blood sugar and enhances the absorption of potassium and magnesium and fat-soluble vitamins into the blood. Coconut oil is the only oil that activates the thyroid gland.
