Description

Health and Nutrition:

Contains Fatty Acids

Coconut oil is high in healthy saturated fats that have different effects than most other fats in your diet. These fats can boost fat burning and provide your body and brain with quick energy. They also raise the good HDL cholesterol in your blood, which is linked to reduced heart disease risk. Most fats in the diet are called long-chain triglycerides, but the dominant fats in coconut oil are known as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). What this means is that the fatty acids are shorter chemical molecules than most other fats. When you eat these types of fats, they are processed directly in the liver, where they are used as a quick source of energy or turned into ketone bodies. Ketones can have powerful benefits for the brain, and are being studied as a treatment for epilepsy, Alzheimer’s and other conditions.

Improves digestion

Coconut oil supports the digestive tract to digest, which means better absorption of minerals, nutrients and vitamins. By helping the body absorb vitamins and minerals (like magnesium and calcium), coconut oil contributes to an increase in the body’s ability to produce energy and ward off disease. In addition, taking coconut oil simultaneously with fatty acids (Omega-3 – Rawganiq Golden flax seed oil), makes them more effective.

Improves Heart Health

The lauric acid present in coconut oil helps in actively preventing various heart problems like high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. It does not lead to an increase in LDL cholesterol levels, and it reduces the incidence of injury and damage to arteries and therefore helps to prevent atherosclerosis. Studies suggest that intake of this oil may help in maintaining healthy lipid profiles in pre-menopausal women.

Hair and Skin

Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is just as effective as a mineral oil in treating xerosis, a condition resulting in dry, itchy, rough skin. The oil also has antiseptic properties and prevents damage to your hair. Coconut oil is a medium-chain fatty acid, so it’s more easily absorbed by your hair, thus preventing protein loss and damage.

Improve Insulin Secretion

Consumption of Extra Virgin coconut oil helps to better utilize insulin in balancing glucose output which in turn can help relieve the symptoms and reduce the health risks associated with diabetes.

How to Use:
