People have been using coconut oil
for centuries reaping all the wonderful benefits that come along with it. By
ingesting just two to four tablespoons of virgin
coconut oil a day you can increase your metabolism aiding in weight loss
while at the same time boosting your energy level. If you are feeling worn down
or sluggish simply add this to your daily diet and you will see the results
within a week.
Weight Loss
Virgin coconut oil contains
0 cholesterol as it is not hydrogenated. Because this oil contains (MCFA)
medium chain fatty acids your body will digest this oil faster than any other
fats sending it right to your liver to be converted into a fast source of
energy which increases your metabolism allowing faster weight loss. While
dieting to loose weight many people experience food cravings. By eating healthy
oils your craving will be lowered and your appetite reduced. There have been
some people that have lost five pounds per week by eating properly, exercising
moderately and adding virgin coconut oil to their diet.
Other Coconut Oil Benefits
The benefits from coconut oil are almost endless. People in
the tropics that regularly eat coconut are shown to have lower cholesterol
levels than people say in North America. Studies have shown that adding this
oil to your daily diet will reduce your cholesterol.
