Coconut oil is generally get a bad seal because it contains high saturated fat. However, in fact there are also many benefits of coconut oil, coconut oil, especially the type known as virgin coconut oil (VCO).
In contrast with vegetable oil, VCO containing 92% medium chain fatty acids can continue to be absorbed through the intestinal wall when he got in the gastrointestinal tract, the process is faster because without going through the process of hydrolysis and enzymatic. Furthermore supplied directly into the bloodstream and taken into the liver for metabolized. In the heart of the VCO is processed into energy, not cholesterol and fat, the energy is used to improve the functioning of all endoktrin glands, organs and tissues of the body.
VCO can be used in various foods or used to beautify the hair and skin.
Here are the efficacy and benefits of VCO for health:
1. Lauric acid
VCO contains nearly 50 percent lauric acid, a medium chain fatty acid with a variety of health benefits. Breast milk is another important source of lauric acid.
2. Antimicrobial
Due to the high content of lauric acid, VCO has antimicrobial properties, antifungal, and antiviral.
The body converts lauric acid into monolaurin which is responsible as the destroyer of the virus.
VCO is also believed to slow the growth of the virus in HIV / AIDS.
3. Immune System
Lauric acid is found in breast milk helps the baby to fight infection.
Lauric acid in the VCO is also able to strengthen the immune system so the body is protected against disease.
Because the adult diet is generally low in lauric acid, the VCO is a source of easy and powerful way to boost the immune system.
4. Good Cholesterol
VCO can reduce bad cholesterol while promoting an increase in HDL or good cholesterol.
A 1980 study by Dr. Hostmark showed that rats fed 10 percent fewer VCO produces more bad cholesterol and good cholesterol than rats whose diet consisted of 10 percent of sunflower oil.
5. Antibiotics super
Effects of modern medicine is the emergence of bacterial strains that are resistant to antibiotics.
A 2005 study by Georgetown University showed that lauric acid in the VCO is able to treat bacterial infections in mice is better than the usual antibiotics.
6. Good For pregnant women and breast-feeding
Prompts parents ancient times to consume coconut oil, coconut oil has a point because it contains incredible. In addition to turning off a variety of harmful microorganisms content of MCFA (lauric acid, caprylic acid, capric acid, oleic acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid) in the VCO also provide the energy needed when the baby would be born.
Some experience mentioned that VCO consumption during pregnancy give a very good effect for the baby, not only while in the womb the baby is healthy, but when the baby is born in a clean and healthy. Additionally VCO make milk production becomes more and more quality.
7. Maintain a healthy heart and blood vessels
Research shows a connection of heart and blood vessel disease and infection / bacteria that will cause the formation of plaque in blood vessels .. Because the VCO is antibacterial / virus it can help prevent plaque formation by killing microorganisms p encetus plaque.
In addition, one of the causes of heart disease is high blood cholesterol levels. Buildup of cholesterol due to excessive consumption of fat in the daily menu so that the excess is stored in the body. In VCO are MCFA easily metabolized to produce energy is not hoarded as body fat. S Elain that regular consumption of VCO also prevent blood coagulation (due to platelet aggregation) and prevent narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis).
8. Osteoporosis Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease due to lack of calcium so that bones become porous. Osteoporosis can free radicals which are due to oxidized in the process of bone formation. Free radicals can be overcome by the saturated fat content contained in the VCO. Fatty acids in the VCO functions as an antioxidant that protects the bones from bone damaging free Radik al.
One of the antioxidants in the VCO is a sterol compound. These substances such as fats and beneficial in the formation of pregnenolone. The function among others to produce progesterone for wantia. For women the availability of progesterone is very important because the amount of progesterone and estrogen imbalance will be me cause osteoporosis.
Consumption VCO good Sagat also help process essential for bone mineral penyerapa namely calcium and magnesium.
9. Diabetes Mellitus (Diabetes) Diabetes mellitus is also known as diabetes. Symptoms of diabetes is mainly caused by buildup of glucose in the blood that was issued with urine. In this condition the production of insulin from the pancreas decreases so disturbed metabolism. This causes the glucose can not get into the cells so that the blood glucose concentration increases. Heaps of glucose can not be used to produce energy and akhirny a discharged with urine.
Insulin functions convert glucose into energy for cells. Blood glucose can not be directly used as energy to be transferred first into the cells through the process of oxidation in the cell. In addition, insulin also convert glucose into energy reserves (glycogen and fat). If blood glucose is converted becoming abundant glycogen and stored in the liver and muscles. While fat is stored in fatty tissue. The content of MCFA in the VCO is able to stimulate the production of insulin which helps the process of conversion of glucose into energy for cells.
Moreover, the VCO does not require insulin to be burned to produce energy so that it is most profitable patients with diabetes who have experienced a shortage of insulin the body. At the time of the VCO burned also burned to the glucose and fat that had been buried so that blood sugar levels are relatively normal.
10. Liver Hepatitis
Is a virus that has a sheath of fat on the outside so impenetrable by the drug. The structure of medium chain saturated fatty acids in the VCO has a similar structure fatty sheath so that the VCO virus can penetrate and kill the hepatitis virus. In addition VCO also prevents liver cell damage caused by free radicals caused by viruses, drugs or alcohol because it has antioxidant effects.
11. Prevent Cancer
VCO has an antibacterial effect, the white blood cells available enough to destroy and inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Animal studies have shown that the VCO inhibit cancer cell growth ker cause the colon and breast. In addition, the VCO has antioxidant properties that prevent the formation of free radicals trigger the onset of cancer and VCO helps boost the immune system so it helps the healing process.
12. Helps to Lose Weight
MCFA in VCO can directly enter the blood stream and converted into energy that is not deposited in the body. At the time of the VCO burned also burned to the long chain saturated fatty acids (LCFA) so fat stockpiled be reduced and the weight will come down.
In addition VCO also energize quickly causing a sense of satiety and not feel hungry until mealtime process of burning and body temperature becomes higher and increases the body’s metabolism and burning of body fat reserves occur.
13. Increase Stamina
When decreased immune system, the body undergoes physical exhaustion is characterized by muscle weakness, headache, intermittent infection, fever, fatigue incredible body and swollen glands VCO provide quick energy and increase energy and boost the immune system so the body can restore itself.
14. Maintain Health KulitVCO natural moisturizing and helps maintain skin moisture and good for the skin keri ng, rough and scaly. VCO contains medium chain saturated fatty acids are easy to get into the skin layers and maintain flexibility and suppleness. VCO is antifungal and natural bacteria that help prevent and treat skin infections, including fungal infections of the skin, eczema, boils, acne, and others.
15. Maintain Health RambutKarena VCO small molecule, it can get into the hair shaft and maintain the levels of protein in the hair and makes hair shine and healthy l ore. VCO contains natural moisturizers that retain moisture and prevent dryness of the hair.
VCO has antifungal effect so as to both prevent and treat dandruff due to the growth of P. ovale fungus on the scalp.
Initial reaction if you consume VCO
Typically the initial reaction when taking VCO form into heartburn stomach to diarrhea. However, consumption should continue to reduce the dose and with the passage of time this reaction will diminish and disappear. It is recommended to consume VCO regularly, at least 1 month to see the positive effects.
