Organic Virgin Coconut Oil:
by Dr. Perricone
The Saturated Fat You Should Eat Every Day
Coconut oil is a superfood I have incorporated into my own diet.
I am certain you have heard the dire warnings about saturated
fats, but they are not to be confused with the trans fats in
processed foods. Saturated fats constitute 50 percent of our
cells' membranes, the phospholipid component of every cell. They
strengthen the cell walls, protecting the inside of the cell.
They play a vital role in the health of our bones, protect the
liver from alcohol and other toxins, and ensure the proper use of
the omega-3 fatty acids.
Virgin coconut oil is a medium-chain saturated fat (MCFA) that
speeds weight loss, lowers cholesterol, reduces the risk of heart
attacks, and improves diabetic conditions. MCFAs do not need the
liver and gallbladder to digest them, which means instant energy
and increased metabolic rate through thermogenesis. Coconut oil
is beneficial to the immune system, because it has antimicrobial
and antifungal properties. Coconut oil targets the thyroid and
beefs up the metabolism, melting abdominal fat quickly. I knew I
had to include this powerful nutrient in my weight loss program.
