The content of this MCFA has many functions such as stimulating the production of insulin so that the metabolic process can run normally. In addition, the content of unsaturated fatty acids also be fruitful convert protein into energy source. And this is the substance that plays a major role to increase endurance and conquer the disease.

Perhaps there are still many people who do not know, that pure coconut oil for pregnant women not only make the baby’s hair and skin clean and easy to be born, but can also improve the quality of breast milk (ASI). So when breastfeeding, the baby be healthier, stronger and not easily hurt. Why is virgin coconut oil can improve the quality of breast milk (ASI)? Because amino acids and fatty acids found only in breast milk, only a few are in foodstuffs, except pure coconut oil and palm oil, which is called lauric acid (lauric acid), capric acid (capric acid) and acid kaprilik (caprilic acid). From conversations with mothers and pregnant on the benefits of drinking coconut oil benefits for pregnancy, there are some among them who do not know at all the benefits of drinking pure coconut oil, anyone ever heard but never took it, and there are already know from the grandmother and their mothers and do it.
However, they admitted that they only recommended to drink pure coconut oil or coconut water, when it approached the pregnancy and not from the beginning of pregnancy. As alluded to what the benefits of drinking coconut oil or water? The answer is almost the same average time later gave birth to an easy and smooth, and the hair of the head and the baby’s skin smooth and clean. They do not know that consuming virgin coconut oil and coconut fruit processed products since the beginning of pregnancy, can also improve the quality of breast milk (ASI). So when breastfeeding, the baby be healthier, stronger and not easily hurt. That is why the government c.q.
Department of Health held a program of breast milk (ASI) exclusive, not another 4 months but has been extended to 6 months. The goal is to have a healthy baby later, strong and not susceptible to disease. Why is it so important for breastfed baby? Results of studies have shown that breast milk has special nutrient composition because it has the content, in addition to a variety of anti-bodies (colostrum), as well as amino acids and fatty acids aksklusif found only in breast milk and only a few are in foodstuffs, except pure coconut oil and palm oil, which is called lauric acid (lauric acid), capric acid (capric acid) and acid kaprilik (caprilic acid).
All three of these fatty acids have potent natural antimicrobial properties that can kill various types of microorganisms and fungi such as HIV, Hepatitis C virus, Herpes, Measle, Ifluenza, Leukemia, Holicobacteri pylori, Clamedia, Staphilococcus sp, Gram positive and negative, and Candida. Report the results of a 1998 study published in the magazine The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that mothers who are breastfeeding are consuming virgin coconut oil and palm fruits processed product yield, levels of lauric acid, capric acid and kaprilik acid, in their breast milk are significantly increased compared with mothers who did not mengkosumsi virgin coconut oil, so as to provide better protection to infants who are breastfeeding.
During pregnancy, mothers instinctively and naturally every day to save and store the fatty acids obtained from food into fat tissue (adipose tissue) of the body, it is to ensure that the supply of fatty acids required optimum time will be enough to breastfeed. Any lauric acid and capric acid derived from food, particularly of virgin coconut oil and coconut fruit processed products, will be dumped as part of the body’s reserves of fat tissue. Milk fat partially derived from body fat deposits and partly of foodstuffs consumed daily. If the main ingredient of functional foods do not contain lauric acid and capric acid, the fat content in milk contains approximately only around 3% lauric acid and capric acid 1%.
Conversely if you are breastfeeding consume virgin coconut oil and palm fruits processed food products, the levels of lauric acid will increase bermagna and can be up to about 50% and kapriknya acid content of about 8%. In countries where coconut oil is the main ingredient of functional food daily, the levels of lauric acid and capric acid to reach optimal levels. Milk contains higher levels of lauric and capric acid, the better to protect the baby from various infections attack viruses, bacteria and protozoa. Virgin coconut oil can be used as a substitute for butter in cooking and making various kinds of bread and pastry dough.
Virgin coconut oil can be used for a mixture of porridge and toast for greasing. Virgin coconut oil is also one of the ingredients of infant formula and baby food.

In order for government programs exclusively breastfed for 6 months work more perfect, eating breastmilk quality is also enhanced optimally by encouraging the mother early in pregnancy has started taking virgin coconut oil and coconut fruit processed products to the levels of lauric acid and capric acid can breastfeed later time achieve optimum levels.

While unsaturated fatty acid is oleic or linoleic omega-9 and omega-6 or respectively 6.5% and 1.5% (Klintar 1990).
