The thick creamy coconut milk is the healthiest option for coffee creamer because it's loaded with super healthy saturated fats
called medium chain triglycerides (MCTs), which are known to boost your immune system and your metabolism!
Fortunately, this recipe has tons of coconut oil and coconut flakes that provide good
medium chain triglyceride fats that help to balance blood sugar and improve hormones and brain function.
Yes coconut milk is high in fat, but it's a special type of fat known
as medium chain triglycerides, and these are easily metabolized by the body.
Organic free range eggs provide very healthy protein and essential fats and the coconut oil provides tons of
healthy medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) that help you burn fat!
But the reason why coconut oil can fight against bad gut and mouth bacteria, reduce inflammation and support your immune system is all due to the type of
medium chain triglyceride found in coconut oil, called lauric acid (5).
Coconut oil's
high medium chain triglycerides content is easily converted to ketones by the liver instead of being stored as reserve energy the way long chain triglycerides (LCT) are metabolized.
It gave us a boost of energy that lasted all day
because medium chain triglycerides goes straight to the liver for fuel and the matcha is full of antioxidants that keep us feeling young and vibrant.
Physiological Effects of Medium - Chain Triglycerides Potential Agents in the Prevention of Obesity: Scientific literature review on the effects of
medium chain triglycerides on reducing weight and suppressing appetite.
This all goes directly against what you hear in mainstream health talk... because most health professionals don't truly understand the biochemistry of fats, and falsely believe that saturated fats are bad for you... when in fact, they are actually neutral in most instances... and saturated fats from tropical oils are actually good for you as they contain
mostly medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) which are lacking in most people's diets.
Coconut oil's high
medium chain triglycerides content is easily converted to ketones by the liver instead of being stored as reserve energy the way long chain triglycerides (LCT) are metabolized.
This study found correlation between epilepsy and hyperactive dogs, and the ketogenic
medium chain triglyceride diet (MCTD) helped to relieve many of the ADHD - like symptoms in dogs.
Well coconut milk is a source of saturated fat, which should be limited in the diet BUT the type of saturated fat in coconut milk is mainly MCT -LCB-
medium chain triglycerides -RCB-.
Partial Replacement of Dietary (n - 6) Fatty Acids with Medium - Chain Triglycerides Decreases the Incidence of Spontaneous Colitis in Interleukin -10-Deficient Mice: Partially replacing dietary sources of Omega 6s (found in abundance in soybean, safflower, and canola oils) with
medium chain triglycerides shows therapeutic potential for reversing Crohn's disease.
Studies have shown that, when compared to foods with Long Chain Triglycerides, people who eat
more Medium Chain Triglycerides (such as, in the form of coconut oil), their appetite is suppressed for longer periods, resulting in fewer cravings and a reduced total caloric intake throughout the day.
We'll give our patients what we call MCT oils, which is
medium chain triglyceride oils which is a form of saturated fats which will induce ketones even in the presence of some carbohydrates.
These MCFAs
AKA medium chain triglycerides are unique because they increase your metabolism by going directly to the liver and turning it into energy.
In one 2006 study, consumption of
medium chain triglycerides led to immediate improvement in brain function in patients with milder forms of Alzheimer's (29).
Although MCT oil is made from coconut oil, it contains 100 %
pure medium chain triglycerides (capric and caprylic acids), while coconut oil contains about 35 % long chain trigylceride (LCT) and 50 % lauric acid which is classically considered a MCT but acts more like an LCT.
