COCONUT OIL
101
How it is used, what you should use it for and everything in between...
Coconut oil can be used in cooking, beauty regimens and for various health problems.
Virgin or extra virgin NON-HYDROGENATED coconut oil, when purchased from a reputable source and consumed in moderation, has numerous health benefits AND is delicious.
It's amazing to think that as a society, we once black-listed this hot ticket natural health product. While some people have fully boarded the Coconut Oil train, others are still a little sceptical.
Here's a wee bit about that bad rap:
Coconut oil does, like most things we consume, need to be eaten in moderation. But, if used correctly, it is most definitely a health promoting food. Years ago, when the connection between saturated fat (something that coconut oil is high in) and heart disease was made, the public and health professionals alike, deemed coconut oil 'un-healthy'. Coconut oil was at one point lumped in with trans fat, and all the health risks associated with the regular ingestion of foods high in trans fatty acids. The truth is, coconut oil is a naturally saturated fat, and non-hydrogenated. It is also the only saturated fat containing lauric acid, the component of coconut oil that sets it a part, and is thought to be responsible for its many health benefits.
MCFA's and Lauric acid
Coconut oil contains medium chain fatty acids (MCFA's). A diet high in MCFA's provides the brain with ketones for energy and nourishment, instead of glucose. MCFA's contain 6-10 carbons, compared to long chain fatty acids, which contain 10+. Medium chain fatty acids differ significantly from their longer chained counterparts and may be a more fat friendly, abundant, rapidly used and available source of energy. Studies are now showing that coconut oil may be useful in controlling weight gain and obesity, thanks to this, as well as its lauric acid component. Lauric acid makes up the largest proportion of saturated fat in coconut oil. Lauric acid has been shown to increase HDL cholesterol (the 'good' cholesterol) in the body, creating a more favourable cholesterol profile. Lauric acid is converted in the body to monolaurin, an MCFA whose only other natural source is breast milk and is responsible for the absorption of necessary minerals, like
calcium
and
magnesium. Lauric acid is also naturally antibacterial and anti-viral. It has been shown to destroy lipid coated viruses, such as HIV, herpes, CMV, and influenza, as well as bacteria like heliobacter, and protozoa such as giardia. Some researchers have also suggested that monolaurin from lauric acid interferes with signal transduction between virus and bacteria, as well as interfering with virus assembly and maturation. The immune benefits of coconut oil (and specifically its MCFA content, including lauric acid) have been clearly demonstrated.
Not just for eating!
All that being said, the benefits and uses of coconut oil hardly stop there. It has recently exploded in the beauty world, as well as a topical solution to dry skin and so much more. So, why isn't everyone using it? Maybe we don't really now how! We have put together a list of things that coconut oil can be used for, some are obvious, while others may leave you surprised. And if by the end we haven't fully convinced you to purchase some, how about this It's on SALE.
HAIR AND SKIN
Fight Frizz
rub a small amount of coconut oil on your hands and rub together lightly smooth over fly away hairs.
Deep Condition
soak hair in coconut oil for one hour, then
shampoo
out [no spa needed]
Homemade Shampoo
mix 1/4 cup coconut milk, 1/3 cup liquid soap, 1tbs coconut oil, 1tsp almond/olive oil, 10 20 drops of essential oil.
Dandruff Control
rub a small amount of coconut oil into scalp
Face and Body Scrub
mix coconut oil with honey, dry ground coffee, sugar and salt
Makeup Remover
a small amount of coconut oil goes a long way [and moisturizes at the same time]
Lip Balm/ Skin Moisturizer
again, a small amount of coconut oil goes a long way. Think dry feet, hands, face, nail cuticles. It has been known to help people with such skin problems as
psoriasis, dermatitis and eczema.
Shaving
you can make your own shaving cream by using a small amount of coconut oil and water, it is also a good idea to use this to soothe cuts and razor rash.
Massage Oil/Lubricant
- Coconut is a safe, inexpensive and effective lubricant during intercourse.
Sunscreen
I know, seems crazy using an oil as a sun protectant but people claim it works at an SPF 4. Maybe test this out on your skin first just to be safe before you stand out all day in the sun based like a Thanksgiving turkey.
Toothpaste
mix coconut oil with baking soda and brush, brush brush!
Stretch Mark Cream
coconut oil is fabulous for nourishing skin, hence why we use it as moisturizer but it can help reduce pesky stretch marks too.
Nipple Cream/Milk Enrichment
for new mommies, this is a perfect way to naturally nourish cracked, sore or dry nipples. It's okay to leave it on there between feedings, just make sure to wipe it off before the next feeding. Eating some of the coconut oil yourself will also help to enrich the quality of milk you produce.
Diaper Irritation
using a bit like lotion is very soothing to your babies bottom and its all natural. It also works for cradle cap.
OTHER TREATMENT OPTIONS
Swimmers Ear
it is said that mixing coconut oil with garlic oil and put a few drops into affected ears for 10 mins do this 2-3 times a day.
Stress Relief
because coconut oils aroma is extremely soothing, it helps to lower stress levels. Try applying some to your finger tips and massaging into your temples, in light circular motions.
Digestion
ah yes, the saturated fats in coconut oil have anti-bacterialand anti-protazoal properties that help control parasites and bacteria that cause indigestion and other digestion related problems. MCFA's have also been used widely in the treatment of malabsorption pathologies,such as pancreatitis, Crohn's, celiac's, and cystic fibrosis, showing a huge benefit over low fat diets in terms of maintaining adequate nutrition and weight. The good fats in the coconut oil also aid in the absorption of vitamins, minerals and
amino acids
which is exactly what we like to hear.
Weight-loss
coconut oil has been proven to stimulate your metabolism, improve thyroid function and escalate energy levels [try taking some before you workout], all of which helps decrease unwanted fat and increasing lean muscle. Coconut oil can also reduce food cravings.
Nose Bleeds
we don't want to go into details about how you have to get the coconut oil in your nasal passage as we think you get the right idea but with its mosturizing qualities, coconut oil can help prevent nose bleeds caused by dry, cracking nasal passages.
Sooo Much More
coconut oil is said to aid with hot flashes, bleeding
hemorrhoids, HIV, improve menstruation cramps/pain, migraines, thrush, relieve gallbladder pain, acid reflux, adrenal fatigue, Alzheimers,
candida
albicans,
asthma, autism, cholesterol [improves HDL, good cholesterol], chronic fatigue, circulation, immune system, mental health including depression, athletes food, back pain/sore muscles, canker sores, acne, cellulite and herpes/genital warts [applied topically]. Just to name a few.
COOKING/AS FOOD
Replacement for Butter/Oil
coconut oil can be substituted in cooking/baking recipes for butter and oils. The ratio would be 1 cup coconut oil per 1 cup [insert your ingredient name here]. It is also a great idea to use coconut oil for any other methods, such as sauteing for example.
Baking
use coconut oil for greasing pans, and in pie and other baked goods. Replaces butter/lard/Crisco/PAM
Hint: If you are adding it to baking recipes, it is best to turn it into a liquid state before adding a measured amount.
Nutritional Supplement
some people take coconut oil on a spoon, while others blend it into their favourite smoothie to get the goodness.
Ideas
smoothies, cookies, as a coffee creamer (recipe on pinterest in shakes), stir fry, spreads/dips, popcorn, oatmeal, pancakes, curries, and more.
OTHER
Pets
some people melt coconut oil and mix it in their animals food/water to aid in overall health for their pet. But just to be on the safe side, please consult your veterinarian before doing so.
Goo Gone
mix equal parts coconut oil and baking soda into a paste. Apply to sticky area, let it sit for roughly 10 mins and try wiping it off [using an old toothbrush may help, also]
Gum in your hair?
- rub some coconut oil all over the mess [aka. Hair and gum], leave it there for roughly half an hour and gently roll the gum between your fingers it should come right out.
Furniture Polish
mixing coconut oil with a bit of lemon juice is great for polishing wood furniture, while leaving a pleasant scent; it's wise to test it out in an inconspicuous spot first, just to make sure. It is also said that if you use coconut oil on a cotton ball, you can use it to polish bronze. Again, test it out first.
Conditioning things
coconut oil is great for seasoning animal hides, cookware, and is a great moisturizer for leather products.
