For years coconut has taken the blame for containing saturated fat. But, recent research is proving that certain types of saturated fat are actually good and can help your body burn fat and lose weight!
Coconut contains healthy fats called medium chain fatty acids (MCT’s).
A study published in the International Journal of Obesity found that MCT’s increase lipid (fat) oxidation, which means coconut will burn up excess calories and help you lose weight!
Coconut has also been shown to reduce cholesterol, triglycerides, phospholipids and LDL cholesterol levels.
If coconut oil is taken at the same times as omega-3 fatty acids it can make them twice as effective, as they are readily available to be digested and used by the body.
Athletes have found that coconut liquid enhances their performance and hydration.
NBA superstar Kevin Garnett has partnered with Madonna to invest in a coconut water company, seeing it as “nature’s sports drink”!
Coconut liquid has the same five electrolytes in the same levels as human blood: sodium, phosphorous, calcium, magnesium and potassium, making it a great superfood contender.

The MCT’s found in coconut are also used in popular muscle building products like Muscle Milk. Most companies use processed MCT’s, but if you eat real coconut, you’re getting high quality MCT’s.
They aren’t just good for burning fat, they’re also great for building muscle.

Coconut also improves digestion as it helps the body absorb fat-soluble
vitamins, calcium and magnesium. It’s a powerful aid to your immune system and can fight off bacteria, viruses and fungal overgrowth such as candida. When buying coconut oil, make sure to get “unrefined”.
