Health benefits of organic coconut oil**
Supports healthy brain function – Your brain mainly depends on glucose for fuel. But according to a study published in Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, ketones are the brain’s preferred fuel. When consumed, the MCFAs in coconut oil go straight to the liver, where they are converted into ketones. A study published in Neurobiology of Aging also found that these MCFAs can support healthy cognitive functions, especially in older adults.
Supports healthy cardiovascular function – According to a study published in the journal Lipids, the MCFAs in coconut oil can support healthy high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels that are already within the normal range. Having high bad cholesterol levels is dangerous because it can cause heart problems.
Supports healthy immune function – Coconut oil can support healthy immune function according to a study published in the Jundishapur Journal of Natural Pharmaceutical Products. When consumed, lauric acid in coconut oil is converted into a chemical called monolaurin, which supports the activity of certain immune cells.
Supports healthy digestion – Coconut oil can support healthy digestion by aiding in the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins, such as vitamins A, D, E and K. The MCFAs in coconut oil are also easier to digest than the fatty acids found in other edible oils. Additionally, MCFAs can help keep your gut healthy by supporting a healthy balance of good and bad commensal bacteria.
Supports healthy skin and hair – Thanks to the healthy fats it contains, coconut oil can help keep your skin hydrated. A study published in the journal Dermatitis showed that coconut oil can effectively hydrate mild to moderately dry skin when applied topically. Coconut oil can also help soothe itchiness and maintain healthy skin integrity. When used as a hair mask, coconut oil can help moisturize the hair and keep it shiny and healthy looking.
Supports healthy teeth and gums – For centuries, coconut oil has been used for oil pulling, an ancient practice that helps maintain healthy teeth and gums. Coconut oil can easily get into the small crevices in your mouth to provide gentle cleaning as it coats the teeth and gums. In fact, a study published in the Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice found that oil pulling with coconut oil is just as effective at keeping the mouth clean as gargling with a commercial mouthwash solution.
Supports healthy energy levels – The MCFAs in coconut oil differ from other fatty acids in that they are relatively soluble in water, which is why they are easily digested and used by the body. Because of this, coconut oil can support healthy energy levels by providing your cells an efficient source of energy.
Supports reasonable weight management goals – Because the MCFAs in coconut oil are easy to digest and absorb, they are immediately used as energy instead of being stored as fat. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition also found that MCFAs can help you feel satiated for longer period of time. Therefore, coconut oil can support reasonable weight management goals when combined with a healthy diet and regular exercise.
How to use organic coconut oil
You can use organic coconut oil in various ways to take advantage of its health benefits. Here are some ideas to get you started:
-
Use it for cooking – Over high heat, some vegetable oils like corn oil form toxic compounds that can harm your health. In contrast, the saturated fats in coconut oil remain stable at high temperatures, making coconut oil a better cooking oil to use.
-
Use it for baking – You can use coconut oil instead of butter for baking because it is solid at room temperature. But for some recipes, it's best to warm coconut oil first to ensure accurate measurements.
-
Use it in smoothies – Add a teaspoon or two of coconut oil to your favorite fruit smoothie to increase your intake of healthy MCFAs. To avoid clumping, melt the oil first and make sure the other ingredients you’re using are at room temperature.
-
Use it for oil pulling – Coconut oil is one of the most commonly used oils for oil pulling because it can get into small crevices inside your mouth and gently clean your teeth and gums.
-
Use it as a moisturizer – Coconut oil contains skin-nourishing fatty acids that make it a great natural moisturizer. To use, massage a pea-sized dollop of coconut oil onto your skin in a circular motion. Let it sit for five minutes before wiping.
-
Use it as a conditioner – The fatty acids in coconut oil also make it a great natural conditioner. To use, warm a teaspoon of coconut oil in your palms and work it into dry or damp hair. Comb through your hair to distribute the oil evenly. Let it sit for 30 minutes before washing it off with warm water.
-
Use it as a carrier oil – The skin-nourishing fatty acids in coconut oil make it an ideal carrier oil for essential oils. When combined with certain essential oils, coconut oil can be used as a relaxing massage oil.
-
Use it to polish natural wood – Most commercial wood polishes contain harmful chemicals that, if inhaled, can cause health problems. Extra virgin coconut oil is devoid of any chemicals and is an excellent alternative to commercial wood polish.
