Description
Coconut oil is pressed from the white meat of the coconut. The healthiest form of coconut oil is Organic, Virgin Coconut Oil.
Virgin coconut oil is pressed from the fresh meat of raw coconuts. It is cold-pressed and filtered and retains the classic ‘coconut’ smell as well as many micronutrients in the oil. Most research into the health benefits of coconut oil is based on virgin coconut oil.
Coconut oil is rich in saturated fatty acids, especially lauric acid (about 50%) and myristic acid (about 20%). These fatty acids are so-called ‘medium-chain triglycerides’ (MCTs) because they are shorter molecules than the saturated fats commonly found in vegetable oils and animal fats (e.g. palmitic and stearic acid). This also explains why coconut oil has a far better health profile than its high content of saturated fats would suggest.
Features
° Cooking: Coconut Oil is very stable at higher temperatures, making it an ideal cooking oil.
° Cholesterol: Coconut Oil has been shown to raise both HDL and LDL levels, however the increase in HDL far outweighs the increase in LDL cholesterol. Higher HDL levels are associated with improved heart health long term.
° Weight Management: There is some evidence to suggest improved weight loss when using coconut oil in place of other cooking oils. Coconut oil consists of MCT (medium chain triglycerides) which are more easily digested and burned quickly for energy than long-chain fatty acids, thus raising metabolism and aiding weight loss.
° Dementia: There is also emerging evidence that MCTs can soften the impact of dementia and Alzheimer’s Disease
