I am sure you have heard about corn oil, sunflower oil, and olive oil, but do you know that there is another healthy option for you? Let me introduce you to coconut oil! In fact, the oil from coconut is one of the most useful and nutrient-filled parts of a coconut which comes from matured coconuts.
The most apparent difference of coconut oil compared to other cooking oils is its unique composition of fatty acids. Coconut oil contains about 90 % of saturated fatty acids, which compromises around 40 % of lauric acid. This makes the oil have high resistance to high temperatures. Therefore, you can use it for cooking or baking using high heat. Aside from that, this can increase the ‘good’ HDL cholesterol ‘bad’ LDL cholesterol levels. Due to these contents, it helps in reducing risks of heart diseases and lower your high blood pressure.
