lauric acid because of its and the bacterial and anat viral properties helps the immune system thus
Drinking coffee with coconut provides a robust enhancement to one's health
Let's take a look at some of the benefits of this powerhouse duo one provides energy as you well know
Due to its stimulating properties caffeine gives a quick energy boost
Caffeine increases the release of catecholamines such as adrenaline, which can make your heart beat faster
Send more blood to your muscles and tell your liver to release sugar into the bloodstream for energy
It also creates a mental stimulation by blocking inhibitory
Neurotransmitters like adenosine when they are blocked other neurotransmitters like a pine a frying fire
Creating excitatory symptoms in the brain and there you have that alertness coffee drinkers seek
coconut oil also provides energy in a different fashion
Coconut oil bypasses regular fat metabolism because it is made of M CFA's
Medium chain fatty acids these M cfas are much easier to digest and are processed directly through the liver
Unlike long-chain fatty acids, like most vegetable oils and other saturated fats M
CFA's can be used quickly as fuel instead of being stored as fat
coconut oil also provides ketones
Ketones are the result of burning fat for fuel instead of sugar. They serve as an alternative energy source, so
The brain can immediately use the ketones from coconut oil which adds to mental alertness
to
Encourages elimination because of its excitatory effects on the nervous system
caffeine can often elicit movement in the digestive tract
It also promotes the release of gastrin in the stomach which increases motor activity in the colon
The fat's in coconut oil act as a natural lubricant in the digestive tract
They help to soften stool as well eating one two tablespoons per day can help one stay regular
But be careful more than that may cause diarrhea in sensitive individuals 3 regulates blood sugar
Coffee drinkers tend to have a reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes
according to a massive review that looked at data from 18 studies with a total of
450
7900 22 individuals each daily cup of coffee was associated with a 7% reduced risk of developing type 2 diabetes
another women's health study found that those who consumed six or more cups of caffeinated or decaffeinated coffee had a
22% lowered risk of diabetes
Coconut oil does not require insulin for digestion
So when one consumes coconut oil?
There is no spike in blood sugar or in resulting insulin
studies have also indicated that coconut oil may reduce blood glucose levels and
one study that induced type 2
Diabetes in lab rats found that the lauric acid in coconut oil may protect against diabetes induced dis lipedema
4 improves brain function
Coffee might just make you feel happier. It has been shown to decrease or prevent the occurrence of depression a
2011 Harvard study found that women who consumed four or more cups of caffeinated coffee per day were 20%
Less likely to experience depression

86,000 nurses found creased risk of suicide in those who consumed coffee on top of that
studies show coffee improves overall alertness and cognitive function
coconut oil also appears to improve brain function
Alzheimer's disease is sometimes referred to as type 3 diabetes
This is because the brains of Alzheimer's patients seem to be resistant to insulin and thus starved for glucose
The ketones in coconut oil as stated earlier. Do not require insulin for absorption
So ketones offer a different fuel for the brain
Studies are currently being conducted on the treatment of Alzheimer's with coconut oil
See my article can alzheimer's disease be treated with MCT or coconut oils for a powerful
Anecdotal story of dr
Mary Newport who helped improve and temporarily reverse the progression of Alzheimer's disease in her husband five
Lowers risk of neurological disorders Coffee has been shown to reduce the risk of developing both
Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis
liz
According to JAMA Journal of the American Medical Association in a thirty year study of over eight thousand men
Coffee drinkers were much less likely to develop Parkinson's disease also
according to the results from two independent studies the risk of MS was
Substantially reduced among those who reported a high consumption of coffee
Coconut oil may also have protective properties against progressive neurological disorders, although not yet clinically studied
Anecdotal stories exist in which symptoms of Parkinson's were reduced or eliminated with use of coconut oil
one such story involves a 74 year old man suffering from Parkinson's who began
implementing a coconut oil regimen of four tablespoons a day
After three months he reported a dramatic improvement in agility
movement and facial expression one article in behavioral pharmacology
cites a clinical study in which Parkinson's disease patients experienced a
43% reduction in unified Parkinson's disease rating scale scores after a 28-day exposure to the ketogenic diet
Remember that coconut oil supplies ketones to brain tissue
So it would follow that a diet high in coconut oil would be nourishing for the brain and neurologic system
It is hypothesized that coconut oil may treat symptoms of must because of these same ketones
Dr. Terry walls a medical doctor who reversed MS in herself and now advises thousands of other patients with MS
consumes a largely ketogenic diet in her Paleo Plus diet

Consumption was associated with a lower prevalence of subclinical. Coronary atherosclerosis
Also in an analysis of 21 different studies regarding coffee
Consumption and heart disease the overall consensus was that habitual moderate coffee drinking was?
Associated with a lower risk of coronary heart disease in women and there was no overall
correlation between coffee consumption and heart disease in any of the populations studied
Coffee is sometimes associated with an increased risk of high blood pressure
However, coconut oil is associated with a lowered risk
Which may help counterbalance the effects of coffee in a 2013 study?

So although their diet is rich in this type of saturated fat heart disease is quite rare
Seven assists in weight loss coffee can raise metabolism and encourage weight loss
One cup of coffee can increase a person's resting metabolic rate by four percent caffeine promotes thermogenesis
which is the body's ability to burn calories for heat other studies show that
Caffeine can specifically increase the burning of fat by as much as 10 percent to 30 percent
Coconut oil helps people lose weight because of its satiating fat
Consuming coconut oil helps to decrease appetite in a 2009 study
Women between the ages of 20 40 were given supplements of either 30 milliliters of soybean oil or coconut oil after
12 weeks the group taking coconut oil had a decrease in BMI and waist
circumference and an increase in good HDL cholesterol
The other group did not experience such positive changes 8 reduces cancer risk
Studies show that coffee can reduce the risk of developing several cancers
endometrial liver collar ëtil and melanoma
One study found that drinking three to four cups of coffee a day could reduce the risk of endometrial
Cancer by almost a fifth in another study out of Italy
Researchers found the coffee consumption can decrease the occurrence of liver cancer by 40 percent?
It is also widely understood that coffee decreases the risk of developing cirrhosis of the liver
one study of
480
9700 6 individuals found that those who drank more than four cups of coffee per day had a lower risk of colorectal cancer

it appears to have some cancer fighting properties as well a
Study published in the journal cancer research showed that the lauric acid in coconut oil
Completely exterminated more than 90% of colon cancer cells after just two days of treatment in a colon cancer cell line
crc in vitro in petri dishes this shows promising signs for human trials
Because cancer cells thrive off of glucose and sugars following a ketogenic diet high in
Coconut oil can reduce the risk of cancer halt cancer growth and prevent reoccurrence
9 helps the immune system Coffee is known for its abundance of
antioxidants
According to an article cited in the Journal of nutrition the single greatest dietary contributor to total
Antioxidant intake is coffee above and beyond consumption of fruits and vegetables
antioxidants are important because they help prevent cell damage and inflammation and lower the risk of developing certain diseases as
For coconut oil. It's fatty acids consist of 50% Lauric acid
Lauric acid is antibacterial
antiviral and antifungal
This helps to promote immunity and ward off infection
Coconut oil has also been found to increase the absorption of fat soluble vitamins
notably vitamins A D E and K as well as the absorption of
Antioxidants 10 may preserve bone health people have often associated coffee consumption with decreased bone density
however
That theory has been largely debunked a review of 32 observational studies performed in
2002 found no overall negative
Association between caffeine consumption and bone health as long as those studied also had an adequate intake of calcium
So it appears that caffeine doesn't deplete bones as once thought
Coconut oil on the other hand actually helps the body absorb calcium
Searchers have found that bone loss due to osteoporosis
Decreases in patients who take coconut oil regularly according to home remedies for osteoporosis
Consuming three tablespoons of virgin coconut oil daily can help prevent osteoporosis
And five tablespoons daily can help reverse it

another study showed that coffee without additives like milk and sugar is protective against cavities as
previously mentioned
Coconut oil is rich in antibacterial
lauric acid
Coconut oil essentially helps to rid the mouth of bacteria that may lead to gingivitis and cavities as an aside
Some even oil pull or swish with coconut oil for oral health in the early
1900's dr
Weston a price a dentist travelled the world studying the teeth of primitive cultures
He was surprised to find that some cultures despite a lack of dental care and hygiene had cavity free teeth
Which were also perfectly aligned through his extensive research
He found those who consumed diets low in starches and sugars and high in healthy fats like coconut
oil and cod liver oil had better oral health and their diets were the root cause of disease free teeth 12
