✍️ Summary:
Boosts Heart Health
While once a subject of debate due to its high saturated fat content, studies have found that people who consume high amounts of coconut in the form of flesh or squeezed coconut cream suggest that coconut fat is not detrimentally associated with cardiovascular health.

Helps Promotes Weight Loss
Unlike long-chain fatty acids commonly found in other dietary fats, medium-chain triglycerides in coconut oil have a distinctive metabolic pathway that contributes to their weight-loss-promoting properties. Unlike other fats that require pancreatic enzymes for digestion, these are immediately broken down in the liver. This quick metabolization process means they are less likely to be stored as fat in the body.

May Enhance Brain Function
The brain typically relies on glucose from carbohydrates for energy. However, in certain neurological conditions, like Alzheimer's disease, the brain's ability to utilize glucose is impaired, leading to energy deficits and cognitive dysfunction. When coconut oil is consumed, the liver transforms medium-chain triglycerides into ketones. The ketones essentially bypass the dysfunctional glucose metabolism pathway, providing a more efficient and direct energy source for brain cells.

Strengthens Immune System
The medium-chain fatty acids and monoglycerides found primarily in coconut oil have miraculous healing powers, act as natural antibiotics, and also help modulate immunity.

When coconut oil is consumed, lauric acid and caprylic acid are metabolized into monolaurin and monocaprin, respectively. Monolaurin and monocaprin are known for their ability to combat harmful microorganisms. They work by disrupting the lipid membranes of viruses, bacteria, and fungi, including influenza, herpes, and even HIV, thereby reducing infection and aiding the immune system.

Improves Digestion
The key players in coconut oil that bolster digestive health are medium-chain fatty acids. When ingested, these fatty acids exhibit potent antimicrobial properties, which are particularly beneficial in preventing and managing bacterial overgrowth and infections in the gastrointestinal tract. A healthy balance of gut flora is crucial for optimal digestion and overall health.

Promotes Healthy Skin and Hair
On the skin, coconut oil acts as an effective moisturizer due to its high content of saturated fats, particularly medium-chain fatty acids like lauric acid. These fatty acids help reinforce the skin's lipid barrier, trapping moisture inside and keeping the skin hydrated. This hydration is crucial for maintaining skin elasticity and preventing dryness and flaking.

I read about the health benefits of coconut oil probably 8 years ago and started using it in cooking. Eventually I just started taking a spoonful of coconut oil in the morning and a spoonful before I went to bed. I have been doing this routine for a least 6 years pretty regularly. I’m 77, born in 1946, and I can’t remember the last time I’ve been sick; never get colds, or sore throats like I used to 3 or 4 times a year. I do get a flu shot my wife puts pressure on me for that, but I flatly refused any COVID vaccines although she got a Johnson & Johnson one. I’m not the healthiest eater either, but I do make a healthy smoothie almost every day for probably 7 years along with various vitamins, etc. I keep active, but not any exercise regimen. I forwarded this utube to my wife and have tried to get her on coconut oil, but to no avail. I don’t diet but I have weighed about the same or a little less than I did in high school, 150-160. At one time I was at 185 or more for many years and knew I should lose some weight, but just never tried. I had lost 30 lbs before I started on coconut oil, but I have an idea that the coconut oil has helped me from gaining that weight back.
