Description
Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is the oil, cold-extracted from coconuts without the application of heat. Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil has a lovely taste and smell since it is derived from fresh coconuts, is not subjected to high heat and sunlight and is also not refined. This preserves all the natural goodness of this oil, including its high content of vitamin E and MCT’s, which are otherwise robbed from the ordinary coconut oil during processes like heating, filtration, refining, and bleaching. Furthermore, Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is very effective as a moisturizing agent. Its’ antioxidant properties are far better than those of normal refined coconut oil.
Health and Nutrition
Contains Fatty Acids
Coconut oil is high in healthy saturated fats that have different effects than most other fats in your diet. These fats can boost fat burning and provide your body and brain with quick energy. They also raise the good HDL cholesterol in your blood, which is linked to reduced heart disease risk. Most fats in the diet are called long-chain triglycerides, but the dominant fats in coconut oil are known as medium chain triglycerides (MCTs). What this means is that the fatty acids are shorter chemical molecules than most other fats. When you eat these types of fats, they are processed directly in the liver, where they are used as a quick source of energy or turned into ketone bodies. Ketones can have powerful benefits for the brain, and are being studied as a treatment for epilepsy, Alzheimer’s and other conditions.
Improves digestion
Coconut oil supports the digestive tract to digest, which means better absorption of minerals, nutrients and vitamins. By helping the body absorb vitamins and minerals (like magnesium and calcium), coconut oil contributes to an increase in the body’s ability to produce energy and ward off disease. In addition, taking coconut oil simultaneously with fatty acids (Omega-3), make them more effective.
Improves Heart Health
The lauric acid present in coconut oil helps in actively preventing various heart problems like high cholesterol levels and high blood pressure. It does not lead to an increase in LDL cholesterol levels, and it reduces the incidence of injury and damage to arteries and therefore helps to prevent atherosclerosis. Studies suggest that intake of this oil may help in maintaining healthy lipid profiles in pre-menopausal women.
Hair and Skin
Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is just as effective as a mineral oil in treating xerosis, a condition resulting in dry, itchy, rough skin. The oil also has antiseptic properties and prevents damage to your hair. Coconut oil is a medium-chain fatty acid, so it’s more easily absorbed by your hair, thus preventing protein loss and damage.
Improve Insulin Secretion
Consumption of Extra Virgin coconut oil helps to better utilize insulin in balancing glucose output which in turn can help relieve the symptoms and reduce the health risks associated with diabetes.
