According to many researchers, it has been found that coconut oil helps in lowering the cholesterol level. Due to its ability of stimulating thyroid function coconut oil has the cholesterol-lowering properties. Cholesterol gets converted into necessary anti-aging steroids, pregnenolone, progesterone and DHEA by the enzymatic processes, but the presence of adequate thyroid hormone is necessary. These converted substances are necessary and helpful in curing and preventing heart disease, senility, obesity, cancer and other diseases related to aging and chronic degenerative diseases.

It is also found that because of thyroid stimulation, coconut oil has weight loss stimulating properties also. It is also found that because coconut oil supports thyroid function and the thyroid governs the brain development of human body including myelination and the result might reflect the difference between normal and hypothyroid individuals. Another important point is that some medium chain saturated fatty acids in coconut oil has the ability to inhibit the liver’s formation of fat very likely synergizes with the pro-thyroid effect which allows energy to be used not to be stored.

Coconut oil is good because it contains saturated fats. Unsaturated fats lead to lower blood sugar. Unsaturated oil damages the mitochondria which cause respiration to be uncoupled from energy production and it means that fuel is burned without any useful effect. The anti-thyroid actions suppress the activity of the respiratory enzyme, which decreases the respiratory production of energy.

[I started oil pulling on Aug. 1 of 2006, hoping for better over-all health. After googling "oil pulling" and learning how it is done, I started using coconut oil and gently swishing 2 teaspoons through my mouth each morning on an empty stomach. Instantly, I noticed whiter teeth and a pinker tongue. The process is thought to remove toxins from the body, and I was curious as to what other health improvements I would notice. On day 21 of oil pulling, I realized my skin was 90-95% clear of all the little bumps.
Google "oil pulling" for more information. I hope some of you try this.

As coconut oil does not turn to fat in our body, it is safe and beneficial to use. Another property is that it raises the metabolism due to which more fats are burn and more energy is produced inside our body. Coconut oil is beneficial also because it does not increase the cholesterol level, but it helps in decreasing the level.

Coconut oil also helps a lot in losing weight. Generally coconut oil is a MCT (Medium-Chain Triglyceride), while on the other hand vegetable oils and animal fats are LCT (Long-Chain Triglyceride). How the fat is metabolized, depends a lot on the length of the molecule and because of this reason coconut oil is easily metabolized than any other oil. In other words we can also say that MCT are broken down rapidly and it gets burn down by body mostly like carbohydrates for energy and LCT gets deposited in the body’s fat cells. MCTs are digested much quicker than any LCTs. So, sometimes it is given to AIDS patients also who have digesting problems.

We are taught that saturated fats are not good for health. But in real life, sometimes saturated fats are good for health. Many professionals give advice to eat diet high in carbohydrates and low in fat. But even then, many of us find that we still can’t lose weight and gain more energy. Apart from these, there are many other healthy benefits also. Coconut oil is next to mother milk, which is the highest source of medium chain fatty acids, which helps a lot in raising the body metabolism. In coconut oil, you will also find lauric acid, which is very much useful for the body’s immune system, which helps the body in fighting infections, bacteria and harmful virus. It also helps relieve the symptoms of menopause, and pre-menstrual syndrome (PMS).

There are many other oils also, which are good organic expeller pressed oils such as olive and flaxseed oils. But there are some problems with these oils that they go through a dangerous chemical change with high heat.

There are many ways through which you can easily consume coconut oil. One of the best ways is to buy a coconut and crack it open and eat it raw. You can also grate it and cook with it. For making it smooth you can either add coconut water or meat. If fresh coconut are not available in your area then you can get unsweetened dried grated coconut from your health food store or online. But always try to get fresh coconut or its oil if you want a better result.

Our skin absorbs the coconut oil very easily because of its molecular structure and in returns it gives a smooth and soft texture. Coconut oil works as an ideal ointment for the relief of dry, rough and wrinkled skin. You will find that most of the available creams and lotions are mainly water. And because of this they are easily absorbed by our dry and wrinkled skin. Due to the entrance of water in our skin, our skin’s tissues get expand and the wrinkles fade away. But this is a temporary treatment. Because when the water evaporates away then again the dry and wrinkled skin returns.

We know that our skin is made up of tissues called connective tissues. It is because of these connective tissues only we have a smooth and elastic skin. During the young period our skin remains smooth and elastic because of the strong connective fibers. But when we become old then these fibers are repeatedly subjected to free-radical attack which breaks them down and due to which connective tissues get hardened and lose its suppleness and strength. And the skin loses the ability to hold itself together. Coconut oil helps in avoiding the connective tissues from getting hardened.

There are many ways of using coconut oil as a hair oil or conditioner. But the best way is to use it just after a shower or bath, when the hair remains wet. This doesn’t mean that the hair should dripping wet. It can be slightly damp or semi wet. It is not necessary that the coconut oil should be in liquid state. If it is in solid state then also it will be effective. Generally coconut oil solidifies at less than 76 degree F. You will have to just spread it throughout the hair not only on the damaged portion. Due to its molecular structure it just penetrates inside the hair shaft.

Coconut oil also plays an important role in dandruff treatment. It helps you to get rid of dandruffs from your hair. Coconut oil works great because it is a moisturizer and anti-fungal too. Generally the medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) or medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) are found largely in coconut oil and these two things have antibacterial, antifungal and ant parasitic properties. Due to these properties, it helps in protecting and nourishing the hair.

Studies have shown that when these fats are added, people are satisfied sooner and eat less, and at the next meal they don’t make up for it by eating more.”
Its simple but effective mechanism and it works.

So why does it work?
Coconut oil is a medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) while most other fats available, such as animal fats and vegetable oils, are long-chain triglycerides (LCTs).
The length of the molecule determines how the fat is metabolized in the body. MCTs are rapidly broken down, and the body burns them much like carbohydrates for energy. LCTs, however on the other side, are deposited in fat cells (don’t want that).

With MCTs, you’re eating fat calories, but you’re eating fewer effective calories because metabolism rises, and you end up burning the calories, not storing them as fat. You can eat much more coconut oil than other fats before your body will convert it into fat.

Oils present in coconut oil stimulate metabolism. “It promotes thermogenesis [burning of calories to produce heat], and some people with low thyroid function tell me they feel warm and their body temperature rises one or two degrees after eating coconut oil.” People with low thyroid function have a low metabolism and can have a decreased ability to lose weight.

Make sure you use Organic Virgin Coconut oil from a reputed brand. The results might be negative i.e. you might gain weight If you consume cheaper non organic oils. We recommend high quality oils such as Coconut-Oil-Uk.com or Tropical Traditions.

Jenna from London: “I have been taking Organic Virgin Coconut Oil for only 3 days now, and let me say my apetite has decreased already. I was one of those people that would eat just because i was bored or because i was stressed out. Not anymore, even if i wanted to eat, i cant, because the oil creates a full feeling. True it is hard to swallow at times, but i grit my teeth and bare it. Sometimes i’ll mix it in just a little bit of Organic Apple Juice to mask the taste a little bit. I cant wait to see other things improving.”

Suzie from , Ireland: “I’ve found that it all depends on the brand you buy. I bought Jarrow at first, and gagged every time I ate it. Bought Coconut-Oil-UK.Com brand the next time, and it is SO much better! I could literally drink it, it is so good!”
