Garden Of Life Extra Virgin Coconut Oil Advantages for Dieters
Those who use Garden of Life caplets find that it can be beneficial to dieting individuals. Though it is a fat, it is not a saturated fat. Therefore, it can help you to lose weight rather than gain.
Earlier evaluations of the benefits of coconut oil actually used hydrogenated versions of it, not the pure, and entirely healthy, type which is contained in the natural Coconut Oil supplement. The benefits of the coconut's oil are based on its composition, which is that of medium-chain fatty acids rather than long-chain.
Fatty acids that are considered to be medium chain do not take as long to break down in the body. Unlike other fatty acids, they are not deposited as fat. It is believed that these molecules speed up metabolism which results in weight loss.
The Pure Coconut Oil has more than fifty percent of its fatty acids in lauric acid form. In the body this substance is changed into monolaurin, which is a strong virus-fighting substance that is found in human breast milk. This substance is thought to combat infections coming from bacteria, viruses, and parasites.
Another advantage of coconut oil may be to stimulate the healthy function of the thyroid. Nutrition expert Bruce Fife ND has said that intake of extra virgin coconut oil may help reverse hypothyroidism with an intake of about 3 tablespoons a day. He also cites a University of Colorado study that says coconut oil increases calorie burning dramatically. This means it can be beneficial whether your thyroid is sluggish or normal.
