The Truth About Coconut Fat
I have been receiving a quite a lot of questions regarding coconut oil and coconut milk. Peoplehave been saying because it is so high in fat that how can it be healthy.
To clear things up, coconut oil does contain saturated fat, but luckily it comes in the form ofmedium-chain triglycerides (MCTs). This type of fat differs from the types of fat we normallyconsume. MCTs are easily digested, absorbed, and utilized in the body. This means that unlikeother fats, they require less energy and fewer enzymes to break them down for digestion.
So essentially they are a great choice of fat for anyone frequenting the gym or sporting field asMCTs digest immediately to produce energy and stimulate metabolism.
So that's the low down of coconut fat guys, don't be scared to eat a little fat.
