We all cook with certain types of oil, but did you know you can also cook with coconut oil? It is actually a very healthy choice! It is high in healthy saturated fats and it can have positive effects on our health, that is why, it is considered a superfood. It is ideal for cooking because almost 90% of its fatty acids are saturated, making it extremely stable at high temperatures. What are its properties? – The medium chain triglycerides in coconut oil have been shown to increase calories burned over 24 hours by as much as 5%. – It can kill harmful microorganisms like bacteria, viruses and fungi. – While coconut oil contains natural saturated fats (they increase the good cholesterol), at the same time they help turn bad cholesterol into less harmful. – The fatty acids can also boost brain function in Alzheimer’s patients due to medium-chain triglycerides that increase blood levels of ketones. Besides all the amazing benefits it can have on our health, it also great for our skin and hair! Coconut oil can improve the moisture content of the skin and reduce symptoms of eczema. Deodorised coconut oil is also available at our store! Where will you shop today? M.I.
