Although I know a lot of other people who share my obsession with coffee, it's not always the best option. This easy fix will transform your coffee drinking habits for good, and you might even drop a few pounds in the process.
Many people struggle with fat and calories, and it can occasionally be difficult to adjust to including fat in your diet. People look at the ingredients and calculate the calories without even looking at the products; they buy chemical-laden products like non-fat French vanilla coffee creamer without realizing that palm oil is the third ingredient. One's health is neglected in favor of being slender. What if I told you, though, that you could have both?
Coconut Oil, unlike most oil, contains medium-chain fatty acids, instead of long-chain fatty acids. Medium chain fatty acids are metabolized differently than long-chain, which leads to a beneficial boost in metabolism. In a study done at the University of Geneva, 1 to 2 tablespoons of medium chain fats per day increased energy expenditure by 5%, and this totals to 120 calories per day.
According to one study, where researchers assembled 40 female volunteers between the ages of 20 and 40 who suffered from abdominal obesity. Over a 12 week period, the women were given a dietary supplement comprising of 30 milliliters of either soybean or coconut oil.
At the end of the 12-week study, the researchers found that the women who were given the coconut oil experienced a significant reduction in both BMI and waist circumference as well as an increase in good HDL cholesterol. “It appears that dietetic supplementation with coconut oil does not cause dyslipidemia and seems to promote a reduction in abdominal obesity.”
Coconut oil also gives your immune system a nice boost, almost 50% of the fatty acids coconut oil contains is Lauric acid. Lauric acid is potent in antimicrobial properties.
Lauric acid is used for treating, “viral infections including influenza (the flu); swine flu; avian flu; the common cold; fever blisters, cold sores, and genital herpes caused by herpes simplex virus (HSV); genital warts caused by human papillomavirus (HPV); and HIV/AIDS. It is also used for preventing the transmission of HIV from mothers to children.”
