For this it is easily tolerated, provides energy for the body and mind, is flying the good cholesterol, and on top of that it fights harmful bacteria, fungi and even viruses.
Coconut oil is obtained from the endosperm of the coconut. It is white, slightly fragrant coconut and melts at 25 degrees C. -Dh At room temperature it is solid, but not to compare the nature with worthless solid fats alla Palmin or margarine. You have to see for yourself, because the extra-virgin coconut oil is unique.
It consists mainly of saturated fatty acids and makes it very different from other vegetable oils: It is chemically very stable, keeps long and it can be heated up without it oxidizes.
Coconut oil consisting mainly of triglycerides that contain saturated fatty acid residues, which are derived from caprylic, lauric, capric, palmitic, stearic, and myristic acid. Furthermore containing triglycerides as the fatty acid residue of the monounsaturated oleic acid residue and traces of calcium, potassium, sodium, copper, iron phosphorus, amino acids, vitamin E and lactones. However, refined oil, the vitamin E. disappears
The fatty acid composition of coconut oil:
1.The majority of the fatty acids are medium chain fatty acids (medium-chain triglycerides, or MCTs) with 6-12 carbon atoms. That makes a total of about 55-71% of the fatty acid content.
2.A these MCTs that lauric acid is particularly well represented with 45-53% share of the coconut oil.
This special composition of coconut oil is directly responsible for his good qualities:
-coconut Is quickly and easily absorbed by the body: MCTs do not require bile to be broken down during digestion, but can directly (without going through the lymphatic system) are processed by the liver to ketone bodies. Ketone bodies may in the mitochondria (the sog.Kraftwerke in all body cells) are particularly easy in ATPumgewandelt: The universal energy carrier in each cell.
-From The same reason helps coconut oil when fasting, because its conversion to ketone bodies promotes ketosis state: A wholesome condition in which the body can fight disease and even cancer.
MCTs and especially the lauric acid fight bacteria: These have a thin wall consisting of fats, which protect bacteria from the outside world. Because MCTs are ebenfals fats and because they fit well with the bacterial walls, they act on bacteria walls as a solvent with fatal consequences for the most harmful bacteria.
-Many Viruses protect themselves by a wall, which are very similar to the bacterial wall. This protective mechanism also is softened by MCTs and in particular lauric acid, so that coconut oil also helps fight viruses.
Noxious fungi are everywhere and usually can keep human defense mechanisms (especially the good intestinal flora) this in check. Here, too, can help coconut oil, for another fatty acid, caprylic acid, which is at least 8% in coconut oil, is an effective remedy for yeast infections. The lauric acid contained in coconut oil also increases the share of the good HDL cholesterol, thus improving the blood lipid values
-The Brain is also a grateful customer for ketones and MCTs: Similar to running this alternative energy source for brain cells reliable and friendly and they work even when the brain sluggish due lifelong carbohydrate mast and is possibly even become insulin resistant. Thus coconut oil is often used for the treatment of various brain and nerve diseases. Even Alzheimer applicable in professional circles now as diabetes of the brain.
Furthermore, coconut oil supports the absorption of other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Because it facilitates the absorption of calcium in the body, it also strengthens the teeth and stops tooth decay and protects and helps fight tooth decay. It is designed to help combat dandruff on the scalp and act as a natural quenching against lice or mosquitoes.
For external use: It provides the skin with moisture (preferably oiled when the skin is still a little wet, then the moisture is better included in the body) protects against dry and scaly skin, delay wrinkles and sagging, support the treatment of psoriasis, eczema and other skin infections. For small wounds coconut oil to accelerate wound healing. Coconut oil has the body contact (directly on the tongue, or on the skin to apply cream) a slight cooling effect, which is why it also helps quickly relieving against external itching through a mosquito bite, for example, or on gargling with gum pain.
From Konstistenz and in its properties, it is a very good oil, with a subtle coconut note. The only drawback, if you can call it like this: The glass is quite high, it empties, there is serious figure out the remains, as would a slightly wider container for 1000ml like that of the oil mill Sohlingen it preferable.
Who is minimal after more like coconut scented, should pick up the coconut oil from Rapunzel.
