The benefits of exra raw virgin coconut oil on the body
Question Posted Saturday May 19 2007, 11:49 am
What are the benefits of Extra Raw Virgin Coconut Oil on the body? I've heard it's supposed to be good for you and even helps with weight loss, but I don't see how something that is saturated fat aids with weight loss or is good for you.
Promote healthy cholesterol levels.
Support a healthy intestinal tract.
Support healthy immune function.
Control blood sugar levels.
Support healthy metabolic function.
Improve digestion.
Improve absorption of nutrients.
I say may because all of the sites I had checked up on this wouldn't say for certain so I am also quoting them on this.
As for helping with weight, it easily metabolizes in the body, unlike polyunsaturated and partially hydrogenated fats to help with weight management. I imagine this would only be beneficial providing you are doing more than just using this oil to see a significant loss in weight, such as exercise as well as maintaining a healthy diet, since on it's own you would probably not see much, that much of a significant change.
