The Cool Wonders of Coconuts
Coconuts and their oil are finally shaking off the negative reputation of the low-fat craze from past decades. Pure virgin coconut oil emerges as the healthiest oil, surpassing less nutritious vegetable oils that contain trans fats. Coconuts are truly the new trend!
A Journey to Natural Eating
Adopting a raw, vegan, natural foods lifestyle requires creativity and adjustment. Initially, it might seem like we're giving up more than gaining.
When I embraced the 'raw' lifestyle, I experimented with foods I previously overlooked. Coconuts became one of those newfound treasures. Living in a tropical climate, where coconuts are plentiful, influenced my decision to incorporate them into my diet. I've learned remarkable things about coconut oil's healing properties, and I hope to persuade you to give coconuts a try.
The Truth About Coconut Oil
Myths about coconut oil being unhealthy were driven by the corn oil industry. When profits are on the line, truth often gets overshadowed by misleading information.
Coconut oil is far more nutritious and beneficial than corn, safflower, peanut, soybean, and even olive oil. It contains no harmful trans fats, which can raise 'bad' cholesterol (LDLs) and increase the risk of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.
Metabolism and Weight Loss
The saturated fat in coconut oil is a medium-chain fatty acid, which means it’s digested more easily than other fats. While other fats get stored in the body, these acids are quickly converted into energy, easing the load on the liver, pancreas, and digestive system. Coconut oil boosts metabolism, making it especially beneficial for those with thyroid issues.
Health Benefits
Coconut oil is antiviral, antimicrobial, and anti-cancerous. It enhances the immune system by destroying lipid-coated viruses like HIV, herpes, and influenza, alongside various pathogenic bacteria.
Practical Uses and Benefits
If you're interested in learning more about healthy saturated fats, Dr. Mary Enig's "Eat Fat, Lose Fat: The Healthy Alternative to Trans Fats" offers a comprehensive guide on 'good' fats, including coconut oil.
Uses for Coconut Oil:
- Stable cooking oil
- Salad dressing
- Ingredient in shakes, smoothies, and juices
- Skin moisturizer
- Massage oil
While the best benefits come from eating whole, natural coconut, ensuring you have access to high-quality virgin coconut oil is key if fresh coconuts aren't available.
What to Look for in Coconut Oil:
- Certified organic, USDA standards
- Low-level heating to preserve nutrients
- Made from fresh, not dried, coconuts
- No chemical additives
- No refinement
- Non-GMO
- No hydrogenation
- No hybridized coconuts
Quality matters. Superior coconut oil not only promotes health and safety but also enhances taste and cooking quality. However you choose to use coconut oil, you’re nourishing yourself with delicious, natural foods that are truly good for you!
