16 BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL FOR HEAL

The use of coconut oil is very popular as a treatment in all fields related to mind, body and soul. Early European explorers, including Captain Cook, wrote about the beauty of people throughout the Pacific who use coconut oil as an integral part of their daily lives. Here are articles about the benefits of coconut oil for health.

The Origin of Coconut Oil

During World War II light green coconut water was successfully used as a substitute to save the lives of many allied soldiers. Whereas after the war, coconut oil was sold as butter. However, this all changed in 1954 even though it has been known for almost a century that coconut oil is more nutritious than other oils.

For decades coconut oil received bad publicity because of its saturated fat content and ignored the fact that some saturated fat is actually needed for human health. Now, modern research has shown that not all saturated fats in coconut oil have a bad effect.

BENEFITS OF COCONUT OIL

Here are 16 benefits of coconut oil for health.

1. TREAT ALZHEIMER'S NATURALLY

MCFA digestion ( Medium-Chain Fatty Acid ) by the liver produces ketones which are energy that is easily accessed by the brain. Ketones supply energy to the brain without the need for insulin to process glucose into energy.

Recent research shows that the brain creates insulin itself to process glucose cells and brain energy cells. Alzheimer's patients have lost the ability to make insulin themselves, this ketone from coconut oil can be an alternative source of energy to help improve brain function.

2. IMPROVE HEART HEALTH

Coconut oil is high in natural saturated fats. Saturated fat not only increases good cholesterol (HDL) in your body, but also helps to convert LDL (bad cholesterol) to good cholesterol. By increasing HDL in the body, it will help improve heart health, and reduce the risk of heart disease.

3. CURE URINARY TRACT INFECTION

Urinary tract infections are usually caused by bacteria found in plants, in open parts of the body and in digestion, for example Escherichia Coli bacteria. Often this bacteria enters the urinary tract into the ureter.

Coconut oil has been known to cure UTIs ( Urinary Tract Infection ) or urinary tract infections. MCFA in coconut oil functions as a natural antibiotic by disrupting the lipid layer in bacteria and killing it.

4. REDUCING INFLAMMATION AND ARTHRITIS

In a study in India, high levels of antioxidants were present in virgin coconut oil which served to reduce inflammation and can cure arthritis more effectively than leading medicines. In addition, coconut oil is also beneficial to suppress inflammatory cells which play an important role as an analgesic and anti-inflammatory.

5. IMPROVE THE IMMUNE SYSTEM

Coconut oil contains lauric acid which is known to fight bacteria and viruses in the body. Lauric acid or dodecanoic acid is a medium chain saturated fatty acid composed of 12 C atoms (Wikipedia).

6. IMPROVE BRAIN FUNCTION AND MEMORY

In a 2004 study published in the journal Neurobiology of Aging , they found that MCFA found in coconut oil can overcome memory problems in those who are older. MCFA can be easily absorbed by the body and can be accessed in the brain without using insulin.

7. INCREASE ENERGY AND ENDURANCE

Coconut oil is easily digested, but also produces longer lasting energy and increases metabolism. When you consume pure coconut oil, you can get energy from MCFA that comes from the heart.

At present, many people use coconut oil as a source of fuel during training and for long-distance events. You can make your own energy fuel by mixing coconut oil, rawhoney and chia seeds together. Simply put, each 1 tablespoon and consume 30 minutes before exercise.

8. OVERCOMING SKIN PROBLEMS

Benefits of coconut oil for the skin. Coconut oil is useful as a facial cleanser, moisturizer and sunscreen, but can also treat various skin disorders. Fatty acids (caprylate and lauric) in coconut oil can reduce internal and external inflammation so that it can be a good solution for all skin types.

9. PREVENT GUM DISEASE AND TOOTH DECAY

Coconut oil has been used for centuries as a medicine to cleanse the mouth of bacteria and help cure periodontal disease. Coconut oil is one of the most effective oils because of the high content of MCFA.

10. PREVENT OSTEOPOROSIS

Oxidative stress and free radicals are the two biggest causes of osteoporosis. Coconut oil is rich in antioxidants that help fight free radicals, it will be a natural treatment for osteoporosis.

11. PREVENT INSULIN RESISTANCE AND TYPE II DIABETES

MCFA in coconut oil can help balance insulin reactions in cells and help a healthy digestive process. MCFA releases tension in the pancreas and provides a consistent source of energy to the body that does not depend on glucose reactions so that it can prevent insulin resistance and type II diabetes.

12. HELPS REDUCE FAT

Coconut oil can help burn fat, reduce appetite and reduce belly fat. Consuming coconut oil will contribute to removing fat. This is due to the multidimensional ability of MCFA to control various physiological processes.

For example, in 1985 a study stated that capric acid in coconut oil showed a significant improvement in thyroid function, helped the heart beat, and helped the body burn fat to produce energy.

13. HAIR CARE

Benefits of coconut oil for hair. Coconut oil has the perfect fatty acids to help improve the condition of the scalp (dry hair, dandruff). You can use coconut oil as shampoo or as a conditioner for all hair types.

14. FACE CARE

Benefits of coconut oil for the face. According to research published in medical journals, coconut oil can increase antioxidant levels and can slow aging. Besides that, coconut oil is also useful for reducing stress on the liver and reducing oxidative stress.

15. BALANCING HORMONES

Coconut oil naturally can also help balance hormones because coconut oil contains lauric acid. Studies have found that coconut oil can be a very good fat to be consumed during menopause and has a positive effect on producing estrogen.

16. HELPS IN FIGHTING CANCER

There are two qualities that provide health benefits of coconut oil to fight cancer. First, ketones are produced when coconut oil is digested. Tumor cells cannot access energy in ketones and depend on glucose. It is believed that cancer patients can recover from their disease with Ketogenic.

Second, as MCFA which digests bacterial lipid walls, it can kill Helicobacter pylori bacteria which is known to reduce the risk of stomach cancer. Even in a study, coconut oil was introduced to prevent the development of cancer.
