The Miracle of Coconut Oil
The Real Benefits Of Coconut Oil
The miracle of coconut oil – we often hear about superfoods, foods that are supposedly that good for us that they can change our lives if we eat enough of them. Coconut oil has been the focus of much of this hype lately.
The miracle of coconut oil – what should we believe? Is incorporating it into our diets really all it’s cracked up to be? The answer is yes! Coconut oil is really good for you!
First of all, coconut oil is good for you and can accomplish so many things. The fatty acids within the coconut oil are actually known as medium chain fatty triglycerides. Because they aren’t as long as other fatty acids, they are metabolized differently in the body and can be used as a quick source of energy. Coconut oil might really be one of those rare superfoods we should all be eating. Here are some really good reasons why you should consider eating coconut oil:
• It helps control Weight
According to several studies, coconut oil has been linked to weight loss, particularly in the belly area. This could be because it is very easy to digest and also helps protect the body from insulin resistance.
• It eases Digestion
Coconut oil is great for anyone suffering from digestive issues, a sensitive stomach, or even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). The fatty acids within the oil have a soothing effect on candida, bacteria, and gastrointestinal parasites.
• It controls Hunger
Eating coconut oil can help curb cravings, which goes along with the weight control benefit mentioned earlier. When coconut oil is metabolized within the body, it releases ketone bodies, which are known to reduce appetite.
• It can help manage Diabetes
Although coconut oil cannot replace diabetes medication, it has been linked to the effective management of the disease because it helps protect against insulin resistance. This means it could very well reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
• It fights Infections
Thanks to its high amount of lauric acid, coconut oil helps to fight infection from fungal issues, viruses, and bacteria. When lauric acid is metabolized, it forms a monoglyceride called monolaurin, which has been shown to kill a variety of pathogens.
Coconut oil certainly meets the criteria for being a super food. Although this list is by no means comprehensive, I hope that it has given you a glimpse of the health benefits that coconut oil has to offer.

I’ve heard so much about the wonders of coconuts. The fact that it has so many applications and that it can help improve health as you’ve mentioned. I believe in all of them, after all coconut is a common fruit in our country. Now reading your write-up about coconut oils makes me want to try it too. I’ve eaten a lot of coconuts in my lifetime but I’ve never tried drinking coconut oils. But, I’m kind of concern on the taste, how does it taste? Anyway, thank yooooou. I’ll drop by in our nearest drugstore within this week to buy a little bottle so I can try it for myself. 😀 — Jen of http://www.investmanila.com
I use coconut oil for everything! It’s my little miracle!
I add to my coffee and love the taste, someone gave me the trick to blend it with your cooled coffee in a blender. It’s wonderful1
The best coconut oil is when you allow the coconut milk to simmer until it becomes oil. It’s a great creamer to spicy Filipino dish, and creamer for sweet desserts too.
Coconut is truly one of my favorites. I love olive oil too for baking. I hear more and more good stories about coconut oil however. It’s also good for the skin they say. I love to drink coconut juice too, and eat the normal coconut. It always gives me a holiday feeling and I love the bit of it.
Coconut Oil is seriously my favorite thing ever! It’s just SOOOOOOOO good! ANd coconut milk, yeah, I definitely made coconut milk ice cream for the past two days for dinner! LOL!
I’m not taking coconut oil but I do drink coconut juice whenever I could. I know that coconut has a lot of healthy properties. This post reminded me to take care of my health haha. Thanks, it was very informational
This is my junk lol I honestly love it and use it everyday for skincare. I know they sell coconut oil that is unflavored for cooking which I haven’t tried yet.
