Many Haitians cook everything with coconut Oil but do they understand the health benefits?
My Haitian cousin drinking fresh coconut water
Coconut, I am learning, has a lot great health benefits including weight loss...
I discovered that coconut oil can boost metabolism and reduce your appetite...
Hmmm... That's why I havent been feeling too hungry lately. I thought something was wrong with me... I thought it was stress... LOL...
The oil in coconut is not like the other oils we eat, I found out. Coconut oil is composed predominately of medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA), also known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCT). Without getting too technical, it is the long-chain fatty acids (LCFA) that is bad for you and it is found in virtually all the fatty things you eat everyday.
I suggest you do a quick Google search on "Coconut health properties" and you will be amazed...
Now my question: do you think all the people who cook with coconuts in Haiti know how healthy it is or is just an accidental habit...
I would love to hear from some Haitian doctors in this matter.
