In a nutshell (hahaha ... couldn't resist) ... MCT, also know as a medium chain triglycerides

And coconuts are packed with MCTs!

Why MCT's?

  1. Well, they are easier to absorb and utilized ... so less likely to be stored as fat

  2. reduce cholesterol

  3. can suppress the appetite

  4. in the brain, MCT's become ketones which neurons use as fuel when glucose isn't available

  5. fight age-related inflammation

  6. 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
