Coconut oil is what you need to upgrade your eating habits. Some of its benefits: -It is rightfully considered a superfood due to its antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal and antiparasitic properties. -It boosts the immune system function, while helping with the detoxification of the body and the balancing of the digestive system. -It is the perfect choice to replace the common cooking fat you are using daily, because it has a high smoke point, neutral fragrance and taste. -Coconut oil has a high content of antioxidants, thus it fights free radical formation. -It is a rich source of vitamins and minerals. -Approximately 2/3 of its contents are middle-chain healthy fatty acids (MCFA), capryc, lauric and caprylic fatty acids, while 91% is healthy saturated fat. -Unlike long-chain fatty acids (LCFA), MCFAs are not stored as fat and are easily digested. -MCFAs have antimicrobial and antifungal action and are smaller in size, thus allowing energy to be produced faster, being processed by the liver.
