The human body has the ability to cleanse itself of harmful substances and pathogenic organisms in a natural way.
However, if it is exposed to a large amount of harmful influences over a longer period of time, its own cleansing abilities may no longer be sufficient. Then it needs a little help.
That is why today you often hear about various detoxification cures aimed at cleansing the body of things that have gradually accumulated in it.
Why coconut oil is one of the best things for detoxification
You have surely already heard about coconut oil. It is suitable for weight loss because it supplies the body with ketones that are not stored as fat but are burned for energy.
It is also excellent for cleaning the oral cavity and protecting teeth and gums thanks to its strong antibacterial effects.
Another of its benefits is that it detoxifies the body excellently. It can eliminate various harmful organisms — not only bacteria, but also viruses, parasites and fungal infections (mycoses).
Its content of medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) also strengthens the immune system, which plays a primary role in neutralizing pathogens.
Caprylic and lauric acids, in turn, have strong antibacterial and antifungal effects. They also clean the large intestine very well of settled impurities and remove them from the body.
Coconut oil and its additional benefits for the body
Several studies have demonstrated the positive effect of coconut oil on improving digestion and regulating beneficial intestinal microflora.
In addition, it also:
- helps with weight loss
- protects the brain from damage (Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease)
- prevents cardiovascular diseases
- regulates blood glucose levels
- improves the quality of skin, hair and nails
- helps regulate cholesterol levels
- restores cartilage and alleviates joint pain
- reduces inflammation
How to use coconut oil
At the beginning of use you will need only 1/2 to 1 teaspoon per day.
You can swallow it directly, or drink it with a glass of lukewarm water. It is best to consume coconut oil in the morning on an empty stomach for one week.
Over time, increase the dose up to 2 to 3 tablespoons per day.
It is best to do the detoxification over several weeks. Also remember to drink plenty of fluids so that impurities can be more easily flushed out of the body.
You can also add coconut oil to plain yogurts and kefir, which are also very beneficial for intestinal health.
