Coconut oil generally get a bad seal because it contains high saturated fat. However, in fact there are also various benefits of coconut oil, coconut oil in particular types
referred to as virgin coconut oil (VCO).
Unlike the 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 and enzymatic hydrolysis process. Furthermore supplied directly into the blood stream and was immediately taken into the liver to metabolized. VCO processed in the liver into energy alone, not cholesterol and fat deposits, the energy is used to improve the function of all endoktrin glands, organs and tissues of the body.
VCO can be used in a variety of foods or used to beautify the skin and hair.
Here are the properties and health benefits of VCO for:
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, the VCO has antimicrobial properties, antifungal, and antiviral.
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 patients with HIV / AIDS.
3 The immune system
Lauric acid is found in breast milk helps babies fight infections.
Lauric acid in the VCO is also capable of strengthening the immune system so the body is more exposed to the disease.
Because the adult diet is generally low in lauric acid, VCO is the source of easy and powerful way to boost the immune system.
4. good cholesterol
VCO can lower bad cholesterol levels while promoting an increase in HDL or good cholesterol.
A 1980 study by Dr. Hostmark showed that mice fed 10 percent fewer VCO produces bad cholesterol and good cholesterol more than mice that
diet consisting of 10 per cent sunflower oil.
5. Antibiotics super
The effects of modern medicine is the emergence of strains of bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics.
A 2005 study by the Georgetown University showed that lauric acid in the VCO capable of treating bacterial infections in mice better than traditional antibiotics.
6. Good For pregnant women and lactating
Prompts old parents to consume coconut oil, coconut oil has a point because it contains incredible. In addition to turning off various 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 will 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 state. In addition, the VCO makes milk production becomes more and more quality.
7 Maintaining the health of the heart and blood vessels
Research shows a connection of heart and blood vessel disease and viral infection / bacteria that will cause the formation of plaque in blood vessels. Since the VCO is antibacterial / viral
it can help prevent the formation of plaque 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. MCFA in VCO are easily metabolized to produce energy is not deposited as body fat. In addition, regular consumption of the VCO also prevent
the occurrence of blood clots (due to platelet aggregation) and prevent the constriction of blood vessels (atherosclerosis).
8. Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is a degenerative disease caused by lack of calcium so that bones become porous. Osteoporosis can are due to oxidized free radicals in the process
bone formation. Free radicals can be overcome by saturated fat contained in the VCO. Fatty acids in VCO serves as an antioxidant that protects the bones from free radical bone. One of the antioxidant in VCO are sterol compounds. These substances such as fats and helpful in the formation of pregnenolone. The function antaralain to produce progesterone for wantia.
For women progesterone availability is very important because the amount of progesterone and estrogen imbalance will cause osteoporosis me. VCO consumption good Sagat also helps with the absorption of essential minerals for the bones of calcium and magnesium.
9. Diabetes Mellitus (Diabetes)
Diabetes mellitus is also known as diabetes. Symptoms of diabetes mainly occurs due to the buildup of glucose in the blood that issued with urine. In this condition the production of insulin
of the pancreas decreases so disturbed metabolism. This causes the glucose can not enter the cells so that the blood glucose concentration increased. Heaps of glucose can not be used to generate energy and finally disposed of with urine.
Insulin serves to convert glucose into energy for cells. Blood glucose can not be directly used as energy must be transferred first into the cell through the process of oxidation in cells. In addition, insulin also convert glucose into energy reserves (glycogen and fat). If the blood glucose is converted becoming abundant glycogen and stored in liver and muscle. While fat is stored
in fatty tissue. The content of MCFA in VCO capable of stimulating the production of insulin that helps the process of conversion of glucose into energy for cells.
In addition, the VCO does not require insulin to be burned to produce energy so it is most beneficial people with diabetes who have insulin deficiency
body. At the time of the VCO also burned and fat burned glucose also previously been buried so that blood sugar levels are relatively normal.
10 Hepatitis and Liver
Hepatitis is a virus that has a sheath of fat on the outside so it is difficult to penetrate by the drug. The structure of medium chain saturated fatty acids in VCO has a similar structure sheath
fat virus so that the VCO can penetrate and kill the hepatitis virus.
In addition, the VCO also prevent liver cell damage caused by free radicals caused by viruses, drugs or alcohol because it has an effect as an antioxidant.
11. Cancer
Since the VCO has an antibacterial effect, the white blood cells enough to destroy and inhibit the growth of cancer cells. Animal studies have shown that the VCO inhibit growth of colon cancer cells and breast cancer causes. 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 that helps process healing.
12. Helps Lose Weight
MCFA in VCO can directly enter the blood stream and converted into energy in the body that are not backfilled. At the time of the VCO burned also burned to the long-chain saturated fatty acids (LCFA) so that the fat is deposited is reduced and the weight will drop. In addition, the VCO also provide quick energy that creates a feeling of satiety and not feel hungry until the time of eating and body temperature combustion process becomes higher thus increasing the body’s metabolism and body fat burning occurs reserves.
13. Increase Stamina
When the immune system decreases, the body undergoes physical fatigue is characterized by muscle weakness, headaches, intermittent infection, fever, fatigue and swollen glands extraordinary VCO gives the body energy quickly and increase energy and boost the immune system so the body can restore itself.
14. Maintaining Skin Health
VCO contains a natural moisturizer and helps keep skin moist and well used for dry, rough and scaly. VCO contains medium chain saturated fatty acids are easy entry into the layers of skin and maintain skin elasticity and suppleness. VCO is a natural anti-fungal and bacteria that help prevent and treat skin infections, including fungal infections of the skin, eczema, boils, acne, and others.
15. Maintain Healthy Hair
Due to a small VCO molecules can then enter into the hair shaft and maintain the levels of protein in the hair and make hair more radiant and healthy. VCO contains moisturizers so naturally retain moisture and prevent dryness of the hair. VCO has antifungal effect so that both prevent and treat dandruff caused by fungus growth of P. ovale in the scalp.
Initial Reaction If you Consuming VCO
Usually the initial reaction when consuming VCO becomes a churning stomach to diarrhea. However, consumption should continue to reduce the dose and with the passage of time this reaction will decrease and disappear. VCO is advisable to consume regularly, a minimum of 1 month to see the positive effects.
