Saturated fats from animal sources are made up mostly of long chain fatty acids, our bodies have to work hard to break down these fats. Although coconut oil is a also a saturated fat, it is made up of medium chain fatty acids and it is this property of coconut oil that makes it different and healthier from other saturated fats. Medium chain fatty acids produce a whole host of health benefits. Coconut oil is nature’s richest source of these healthy medium chain fatty acids.
The medium chain fatty acids in Coconut oil have many health benefits over long chain fatty acids found in other saturated fats:
Medium chain fatty acids are easy to digest and therefore quickly absorbed in the body for energy. Long chain fatty acids must be digested with enzymes from the liver and take a longer time to breakdown. | Medium chain fatty acids have anti-microbial effects, which helps protect against viruses and bacteria that contribute to gastro-intestinal conditions and heart disease. Long chain fatty acids do not have this effect. |
Medium chain fatty acids are sent directly to your liver, where they are immediately converted into energy rather than being stored as fat. Long chain fatty acids are predominantly stored in your body as fat. | Medium chain fatty acids such as lauric acid, which makes up at least 50 percent of coconut oil, can actually contribute to stimulate and maintain your body’s metabolism, leading to weight loss. |
