In a nutshell (hahaha ... couldn't resist) ... MCT, also know as a medium chain triglycerides
And coconuts are packed with MCTs!
Why MCT's?
Well, they are easier to absorb and utilized ... so less likely to be stored as fat
reduce cholesterol
can suppress the appetite
in the brain, MCT's become ketones which neurons use as fuel when glucose isn't available
fight age-related inflammation
improve cerebral circulation
Essentially, our brains LOVE MCT's
A great way to add MCT to your daily routine is add 1 tbsp to your smoothie or coffee. You can also use coconut oil for cooking.
1 tbsp of coconut oil is 1 serving of healthy fats
