Benefits of Virgin Coconut Oil

Everyone knows that oil plays a huge part in our daily life. We use it for cooking, to take care of our skin and hair, among other things. But if you have been convinced by advertisements that using refined oil is the only way to go and that traditional oils in India are bad for health, it is time to set things straight. It is time to tell you the truth about the benefits of Virgin Coconut Oil!

What is Virgin Coconut Oil?

So what makes virgin coconut oil different from normal refined oil that we get from the market? Unlike normal coconut oil made from dried up coconut, also known as copra, Virgin Coconut Oil uses fresh coconut flesh to extract the coconut oil. Virgin coconut oil is also extracted without the application of heat. In normal refined coconut oil, many minerals and nutrients are lost to the heat as they use a heated press to release the oil. While refined oils have no discernable flavour and look golden, cold-pressed virgin coconut oil is completely colourless, free of any sediments. It also has the natural flavours and scents of the coconut.  It can be used a number of ways, especially in cooking as well as skin and hair care.

Nutriplus Virgin Coconut Oil is made from cold-pressing organic and fresh coconut, sourced from the best farmers from Kerala. It is cold-pressed, pure and natural. It also does not undergo any chemical refining, bleaching or deodorising.

Benefits of Using Virgin Coconut Oil

Virgin Coconut oil is making a comeback as people have realised that it has a number of health benefits and is a great alternative to refined oils. Some of the health benefits of using virgin coconut oil include:   

1. Contains healthy fatty acids: Coconut oil is rich in healthy saturated fatty acids. These fatty acids are healthier when compared to other sources of saturated fat as it has shorter fatty acid chains. These fatty acids also encourages the body to burn more fat and can provide quick energy to the brain and body.
2. Might improve heart health: While fat has always been associated with increased risk of heart diseases, studies have shown that people who consume coconut oil as their main source of fat has reduced cases of cardiovascular diseases.
3. Encourages fat burning: The MCTs or medium-chain-triglycerides affects the body in certain ways that improve fat burning.
4. Has antimicrobial effects: if you grew up in the southern part of India, you would have experience of your mother applying coconut oil over cuts and burns as an antibacterial. Coconut oil has more than 50% lauric acid. When the body digest lauric acid, it creates an antimicrobial compound. Coconut oil is also effective in reducing the risk of common cold and certain other infections.
