Anti Inflammatory Diet with
Highly Stable Coconut Oil

Weak Fats Rot Fast

One of the leading causes of chronic inflammation is eating oxidized or rancid fats. Compared to saturated coconut oil, polyunsaturated vegetable oils such as soybean oil, sunflower oil, corn oil and safflower oil rot rather easily.

The majority of polyunsaturated vegetable oils today are highly processed and refined. While stored at warehouses, transported in hot trucks and sitting on store shelves, they are already decomposing and creating free radicals. They are usually bottled in clear containers where light can penetrate and create even more free radicals.

These oils may then sit around exposed to light and warm temperatures for months before they are sold. All conventionally processed and refined polyunsaturated vegetable oils are rancid to some degree by the time you buy them at the store.

Toughest Fat of All

By using coconut oil instead in your diet, chronic inflammation caused by oxidized fats is greatly reduced. 92 percent saturated coconut oil is very stable and highly resistant to oxidation and free-radical formation. Properly prepared, coconut oil can easily stay fresh for 2-3 years, "with or without" refrigeration.

Immune System Normalizer

There is no shortage of studies demonstrating the anti inflammatory effect of coconut oil. Sadeghi and his team were able to find evidence indicating the efficiency of an anti inflammatory diet with coconut oil.

Kono and colleagues were able to prove that medium chain triglycerides (MCT) generously present in coconut oil boost the immune system and lessen inflammation when toxins are administered. Medium chain fatty acids (MCFA), the primary fat molecules in coconut oil, are effective in reducing inflammation and improving the immune response along the intestinal wall.
