10 Benefits of Organic Coconut Oil
Although it is 90 percent saturated fat, organic coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) that can improve your health in many ways. It's delicious, versatile, and withstands high temperatures so it's a very stable oil for cooking.
What's more, you can easily digest the MCFAs in coconut oil. So, it's a lot gentler on your system than other oils. Plus, these hard-working fatty acids are immediately converted into energy rather than being stored in your body as fat. Overall, MCFAs help to boost your metabolism, which is a great help to any weight loss effort.
As a functional food, organic coconut oil is recognized as a powerful tool for protecting against immune system-related diseases. Several studies have shown its effectiveness in this area, and much research is currently underway to uncover the incredible nutritional value of pure organic virgin coconut oil.
Organic coconut oil is highly nutritious and contains a superior disease-fighting fatty acid called lauric acid. It is also rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Organic raw unprocessed extra virgin coconut oil is the best choice as it's unrefined, USDA certified organic, and contains no added chemicals or genetically modified additives. You'll also know your organic coconut oil is made only from fresh coconuts and is solid at room temperature.
