Coconut oil is almost like a miracle food that has positive health effects through internal and external use. Including it in the diet promotes long-term health, relieving the symptoms of various health conditions while helping to prevent or reduce the risk of disease.
With particular reference to thyroid health, an imbalance is usually treated with prescription medication. However, these drugs only address the symptoms. Most of these medications tend to cause harmful side-effects. Extra virgin organic coconut oil presents a natural and healthy alternative to boost thyroid function. It not only heals but also balances the metabolism, making you more energetic.
Millions of people suffer from thyroid disease. While usually common in women, it also afflicts men and children. The thyroid gland produces hormones that control metabolism and energy levels, and stimulates healthy growth in children. When it is out of balance, it results in exhaustion, reduced appetite, depression, skin and hair problems and weight issues. It can also trigger other conditions such as arthritis, diabetes and lupus.
The benefits of extra virgin coconut oil for thyroid health
Including extra virgin organic coconut oil in your diet helps you:
- Improve body metabolism
- Relieve the symptoms of thyroid disease
- Keep skin and hair healthy
- Maintain healthy body weight
- Improve immune system
- Heal depression
Coconut oil’s saturated fat content is made of medium chain fatty acids which are responsible for its health benefits. For those whose thyroid function is low, coconut oil raises their body temperature and boosts their metabolism which is a critical benefit for those with hypothyroidism. It also repairs tissue and reduces inflammation. Its action inhibits the spread of intestinal micro-organisms responsible for the inflammation.
Coconut oil’s stability contributes to thyroid health
In spite of being rich in saturated fat, coconut oil is stable. Unlike vegetable oils which are known to cause oxidative stress and impede the conversion of thyroid hormones in the liver, coconut oil promotes this conversion and fights free radicals, keeping the liver healthy.
Often, in spite of good nutrition, malnourishment can occur because unsaturated oils prevent the digestion of protein in the stomach. It is important for the body to absorb vitamins and minerals such as zinc, vitamin B2, B3, B6 and B12 that help to prevent hypothyroidism and keep the body healthy.
Extra virgin organic coconut oil can be included in the diet to replace unhealthy fats and also as a substitute for butter, as cooking oil, and in smoothies. Just two tablespoons a day can make a significant difference in thyroid health.
