Garden Of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Provides A Lot Of Health Advantages

by Ben Pate

Garden of Life's fine supplements include coconut oil. This is a surprising addition to Garden of Life supplements, as extra virgin coconut oil is a fat and was previously thought to be a saturated fat, which obviously wouldn't help dieters very much.

Earlier evaluations of the advantages of coconut oil actually used hydrogenated versions of it, not the pure, and entirely healthy, type which is contained in the Coconut Oil health benefits supplement. The benefits of the coconut's oil are based on its composition, which is that of medium-chain fatty acids rather than long-chain.

The smaller molecules of medium-chain fatty acids digest faster. Most individuals think that because they digest faster they aren't as likely to be kept in the body as fat. In fact, this form may increase the amount of fat burned by increasing metabolism rate which could actually result in weight loss.

The natural Coconut Oil has more than fifty percent of its fatty acids in lauric acid form. In the body this substance is changed into monolaurin, which is a strong virus-fighting substance that is located in human breast milk. This substance is thought to combat infections coming from bacteria, viruses, and parasites.

Another benefit of coconut oil is the healthy functioning of the thyroid. Nutrition expert Bruce Fife ND has said that intake of about three tablespoons a day of extra virgin coconut oil can help reverse hypothyroidism. He also cites a study by the University of Colorado that says that coconut oil dramatically increases the speed of calorie burning. This means that coconut oil can be an advantage whether your thyroid is sluggish or normal.

Garden of Life virgin coconut oil is a healthy oil and the kind of fat ideal to eat on a healthy weight loss diet. It comes from totally organic sources. It has a soft flavor and so can be used easily in cooking or baking, including being added to foods like homemade smoothies. It is a great choice for frying as it withstands heat without oxidizing.

Coconut oil can also help healthier appearing skin. Studies show that the right types of fat can decrease the chance of wrinkles in the skin, which is greatly appealing to anyone, especially younger people trying to maintain their current appearance. Users have reported that it also lowers sugar cravings and eases some digestive problems.

One benefit of coconut oil is that it may increase metabolism and fat burning. The extra virgin coconut oil used by Garden of Life products has over half of its fatty acids in one fatty acid, lauric acid, which is modified by the body into a powerful anti-viral agent, monolaurin. Nutrition experts have concluded that coconut oil consumed in moderation may ensure a healthy-functioning thyroid. Daily intake of approximately 3 tablespoons of coconut oil may help reverse hypothyroidism. With a coconut aroma and delicious flavor, Virgin Coconut Oil is both healthy and great tasting, and may help your skin appear healthier.
