Health Benefits of Coconut Oil

Coconut oil helps maintain proper blood sugar.  It can be a useful tool for any diabetic as it improves the secretion of insulin.

Also improves the metabolism because it is a great source of nutrients for optimal pancreas function.

Coconut oil is an antibacterial, anti-fungal, and an anti-parasitic.  This can be an important factor for anyone suffering from irritable bowel syndrome.  The fatty acid chain of this incredible substance helps clear toxins making minerals more soluble.

This superfood is also very useful in healing cuts, yeast infections, gum infections and any type of inflammation. It has been said to help heal kidney and pancreas inflammation.

It is an incredible tool for the immune system as it keeps so many different organs working optimally, including the liver.

Coconut oil is a great energy booster.  Adding a small bit to a cup of tea, coffee, or other warm beverage is a great way to pick up your energy level. This superfood has been claimed to help many people with weight loss and stabilizing energy throughout the day.

Heart disease can be prevented and healed with coconut oil.  It has been said that saturated fats are the problem in heart disease, but that is simply not true according to many physicians.  Unsaturated fats are the real issue. According to the FDA, a saturated fat is a solid fat at room temperature. That is the official definition. Saying a fat is bad for you based on its density at room temperature is how the FDA makes saturated fat claims.

There are no classifications of fats based on how they metabolize.

Purchasing

When choosing your product, it can be confusing and disheartening. There are so many different choices and types. Choose a product that is extra virgin, organic, and unrefined. Try to choose one that has no chemicals added or that is made with a heating process.
