Recently my daughter has been cooking with coconut oil. When I asked why
coconut oil, she replied because it’s healthy. So with that answer, I began to
investigate, and here is what I learned.
Coconut Oil contains a unique combination of fatty acids with powerful
medicinal properties. Although coconut oil is high in saturated fats, it’s not
the same as the saturated fats in cheese and steak. The fatty acids are
metabolized differently and are known to have therapeutic effects on brain
disorders like epilepsy and Alzheimer’s.
The healthiest populations are the ones that consume coconuts. Studies show
that populations in the South Pacific who eat 60% of their calories from
coconuts are in excellent health with no evidence of heart disease.
Coconut Oil can increase your energy, helping you burn more fat. The Lauric
acid in coconut oil can kill bacteria and help fight viruses.
It can kill hunger making you eat less without even trying, and can improve
cholesterol levels lowering the risk of heart disease.
I also found coconut oil to be the best choice for frying foods, as it will
hold the highest temperatures.
Coconut Oil is one of the foods that can be classified as a “superfood”. The
unique combinations of fatty acids have positive health effects, including fat
loss and better brain function. These benefits have been confirmed in human
studies.
Don’t just take my word for it.
Here is the link to my source of information. Please take some time to check this out, as you will find more details of
these amazing benefits.
These studies were conducted by professionals in their field, It's always a good idea to check with your doctor first on the use of coconut oil.

Coconut oil reminded me of my childhood years in the Philippines when sitting next to my granny making coconut oil. I know how to make coconut oil as I learned it from my granny and my mother but I have not made it here in my adopted country as I seldom see coconut here. I have seen coconut oil though in the supermarket. I think I´ll try cooking again with coconut oil. Thanks for the informations Sam. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteHi Thelma, I'm glad this article brought back some memories. I've never made coconut oil we've just bought it. It's great that you know how to make it, that would make a great article on how to make coconut oil. Thanks so much for stopping by Thelma and have a wonderful weekend!
DeleteGreat article, I've personally seen some amazing benefits with coconut oil. Anyone interested in herbal medicine should definitely check out the ebook "10 super herbs that will change your life forever". You can download it for free here: tensuperherbs.com. I tried a few of the herbs from that book and my life has changed completely :)
ReplyDeleteHi Roger, Glad you liked the info, I'll have to check out the ebook. Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteGrowing up in Goa, India, I remember my Avo (grandma) cooking food, especially frying, in coconut oil. My mom used it too in some of her cooking. Coconut as a whole is a staple for cooking in Indian/Goan cuisine. Enjoy your weekend Sam!
ReplyDeleteHi Anthony, I'm finding coconut oil to be very popular, Thanks for stopping by and have a great day :)
DeleteI always grab the olive oil because I love it. I need to grab the coconut oil more often and take advantage of the super-food effect. Thanks for the info, Sam!

ReplyDeleteWe're in the same habit Susan, but our daughter started to use the coconut oil and we really like it. Although I still grab the olive oil!!! Thanks and have a great evening :)
DeleteI bought some coconut oil but haven't used it yet. I'll have to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteHi Cheryl, Thanks so much for stopping by, give it a try I think you'll like it.
DeleteI have purchased coconut oil...but never use it regularly enough to form an opinion. I bought it for my cooking and to feed a bit to the dogs. Willy loves it on his food... when I remember. I just don't remember to use it.
ReplyDeleteWe always have it on hand also, but we don't use it 100% of the time either. I do try to use it as much as possible. Thanks Dawn for stopping by.
