Seven Health Benefits Of The Healthiest Oil In The World
By John Goh
Coconut oil has been labeled as the healthiest oil in the world. It has provided many benefits to the native Polynesian people for generations. Here’s a quick run-down of the 7 main benefits of coconut oil.
1. Kills Viruses in the Body
The antibiotics that doctors prescribe whenever you are down with flu are only effective against bacteria but fare badly against viruses. No drugs have been developed to effectively counter viruses. The medicine your doctor prescribes for you can only reduce the severity of the symptoms while your own immune system fights the virus. This is why flu usually last a few days to a week or more for most people.
Most viruses are encased in a coat of lipids. The medium chain fatty acids in coconut oil destroy viruses by disrupting their lipid membranes. Lauric acid in coconut oil can kill various lipid-coated viruses such as HIV, measles, herpes, influenza and Hepatitis C etc. There are many cases of HIV patients reducing their viral loads from taking coconut oil.
2. Removes Fungus and Yeast from the Skin and Intestines
Many people suffer from yeast infections in the skin and also fungus infections like athlete’s foot and skin rashes like ringworm. Candida is a single-celled fungus and yeast cell that inhabits the intestinal tract. Candida affects more than 40 million Americans and is a common cause of vaginal yeast infections in many women.
Caprylic acid, a medium chain fatty acid found in coconut oil, is very effective against candida and other forms of fungi. Patients suffering from skin infections for months have reported seeing their skin clear up in a matter of weeks, after applying coconut oil on the infected areas and taking coconut oil every day.
3. Fights Bacteria Effectively
Bacteria are harmful to you and your family, causing conditions such as ear infection, strep throat, pneumonia and tooth decay. Many bacteria have become resistant to antibiotics. Besides, antibiotics kill the ‘friendly’ bacteria in your intestines that are necessary for good intestinal health.
Coconut kills harmful bacteria like helicobacter pylori while leaving the beneficial bacteria alone. The major fatty acid from coconut oil, lauric acid is converted by the body into the monoglyceride called monolaurin. Monolaurin has been found to be useful in the prevention and treatment of severe bacterial infections, especially those that are difficult to treat or are antibiotic resistant.
4. Defends against Parasites in the Intestines
Parasites infect the intestines and can cause a great deal of intestinal distress. Even when the parasites are diagnosed and treated, they can damage the intestinal lining, causing chronic problems that persist for years.
There are two general groups of parasites. One consists of worms such as tape worms and roundworms. The second category is the protozoa, one-celled organisms like
