The post Is Coconut Oil Actually Healthy? appeared first on yourdailysportfix.com.
]]>The Good Stuff
- Virgin coconut oil contains vitamin E, antioxidants, and healthy fatty acids that are associated with a healthy metabolism, healthy skin and hair, and improved cognitive function.
- It makes a great topical agent for skin care and can be used as a moisturizer, makeup remover, hair oil, and more.
- Coconut oil has a very high smoke point, making it ideal for high-heat cooking such as frying.
The Bad Stuff
- Coconut oil contains high levels of saturated fats and contributes more to “bad” LDL cholesterol levels than other oils such as olive and canola. High LDL levels can lead to conditions such as heart disease.
- One tablespoon of coconut oil contains 12 grams of saturated fats—that’s your entire daily allowance of calories from saturated fats according to the American Heart Association.
- Many of the health benefits surrounding coconut oil are based on special coconut oil made entirely of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT oil). This is not the average coconut oil you’ll find in the supermarket.
The Verdict
It seems then that coconut oil is neither a health food nor a toxin. Consumed in small quantities and used for specific high-heat cooking techniques, it can be a useful addition to your pantry. And if you’ve bought a huge jar already, you can always use it for your skin and hair care routine as well!
Be sure to always source ethically and sustainably produced coconut oil.

]]>Blood Sugar
Having balanced blood sugar is beneficial for our hormones, sleep, and energy levels. While coffee can cause blood sugar to spike, coconut oil increases insulin sensitivity which can help balance it out and avoid that nasty crash.
Cognitive Function
Chances are, you’re drinking coffee because you need to kickstart your mental alertness. When fatty acids—like those found coconut oil—bind with caffeine, it allows the caffeine to be absorbed over a slower period of time, keeping you alert for longer.
Immune System Protective
With its blend of lauric acid and caprylic acid, coconut oil is antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal. Combining it with coffee, which has its own amount of antioxidants, can make your morning cuppa into a rather healthy drink.

Oil pulling works best on an empty stomach and first thing in the morning. After using coconut oil for a few days you’ll start noticing your mouth feeling cleaner. That’s because the oil pulls out the toxins from the mouth, and some advocates swear by it. People have confessed to going to the dentist less because it prevents tooth decay.

The best time to oil pull is first thing in the morning, but you can also do it in the afternoon if you like. First things first, don’t drink water first thing in the morning before oil pulling. Drink after.
Step one is grabbing a teaspoon and using an oil of your choice (preferably coconut oil), swish it around your mouth for 15-20 minutes because it starts becoming more effective during this time. Afterward, make sure to release the oil into the toilet (not in your sink since it can clog it) and brush afterwards with your regular toothpaste.
