Coconut Oil The Budget Miracle Item

The budget item which has so many health benefits

Let's be honest. Sometimes an item comes along that explodes in popularity due to supposed health benefits, or cosmetic benefits. But most of these items grow to be duds. The benefits are non-existent or so minimal they don't assist in any meaningful way. So when coconut oil became so popular some time ago, you could be forgiven for thinking it had been yet another passing phase. This is not the case. Many cosmetic doctors, dieticians and everyday people consider it to be a miracle product, and I will explain why.

It can help you burn fat

I'll say it again to allow it sink in. Coconut oil can help you burn fat. I am aware if you laughed once you read that, because generally oil in food will work in a negative way for your health, actually causing you to gain weight ultimately. However, coconut oil contains something called Medium-chain Triglycerides (MCTs) which work to increase the amount of energy being expended by around 5% every single day! This is incredible, and long term would no doubt lead to a substantial loss in weight.

Saturated fat is bad, right?

For years and years fats were considered a demon ingredient. And coconut oil was demonized since it was filled with them. Well, fear not, because new studies have discovered saturated fats to be harmless. The widely held belief they clog arteries now turns out to be a complete myth. Very good news for fans of the delicious oil!

The hunger games

No, not the movie. Hunger is, of course, the main reason why people become overweight and finally obese. In 2014, 39% of adults aged 18 and over were overweight, and 13% were obese. These worldwide statistics are horrifying, and we have to find food which will help to reverse these figures. Coconut oil is one such food item. The way that the essential fatty acids in it are metabolized really work to lessen your appetite. Recent studies have shown healthy men who ate more MCTs than healthy men not eating them consumed 256 fewer calories over the course of a day.

Protect the skin!

Who would have thought that it could have health benefits to your body that have absolutely nothing related to eating it? Well that is right. Eating it is only 1 / 2 of the story with this miracle item. There's a whole band of cosmeticians using coconut oil within their daily skincare and haircare routines. Dry skin could be combated effectively with coconut oil, together with damaged hair. But more amazingly, a fresh trend has started up called "oil pulling", w here coconut oil is used as a mouthwash to improve oral health and significantly reduce bad breath!

As you can see, the science behind the oil is dependable, and the benefits eating it (or deploying it cosmetically) may bring are huge. Coconut oil is here now to remain, and I'm on board!
