Fatty acid chains found in coconut oil, known as
medium fatty acids (MCFAs) or medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), offer
wonderful health benefits to people who suffer from hypothyroidism and
slow metabolism. The MCTs boost sluggish metabolism and promote weight
loss.
There are many aide effects of an inactive thyroid gland and the resulting
slower metabolism. First and foremost, your energy level is greatly reduced,
and when you have less energy and slow metabolism there is often unwanted
weight gain.
Obesity, heart disease, and osteoporosis are more prevalent in those people
who have slow metabolism. Any health condition is worsened if the metabolic
rate is slower than normal, because the cells can’t heal and repair
themselves as quickly. Adding coconut oil to your diet can play a big
role becoming a happier, healthier person.
The MCFAs in coconut
oil are easily absorbed and put to use nourishing the body. Unlike
other fats, they put little strain on the digestive system and provide
a quick source of energy. On the contrary, long chain fatty acids are
usually digested with digestive enzymes from the liver and take a long
time to breakdown. Fewer enzymes and less energy are required for coconut
oil digestion. MCFAs in coconut oil are digested and absorbed quickly
and with minimal effort. Because of this there is less strain on the pancreas,
liver and the digestive system.
Besides increasing your energy level, there are other important benefits
that result from boosting your metabolic rate. A higher metabolism helps
protect you from illness and speeds healing because cells function at
a higher rate of efficiency when your metabolic rate is increased. Injuries
heal quicker and old, diseased cells are replaced faster with young, new
cells. Garden of
Life 100% Extra Virgin Coconut Oil is the healthiest, most versatile
unprocessed dietary oil on the market. Taking two to four tablespoons
per day could change the way you look at fat.
