Can coconut oil improve memory? I think I am losing my mind/memory every day...just ask my husband and kids. One of their daily chores is to "remind mom..." Sad to admit, but any way to slow down that age related memory loss is of major importance to me.
If you or a loved one suffer from memory loss this may be of interest to you also.
Last July this study was published on the positive effects of coconut oil on Alzheimer's Disease. Dr. Mary Newport fed coconut oil to her husband every day and recorded any resulting change in his Alzheimer's symptoms. Her findings are really amazing.
How is this possible? Because of the presence of ketones in coconut oil which feed our brains.
From the article listed below Dr. Newport defined:
"'Ketones are a high-energy fuel that nourish the brain,' ...when you are starving, the body produces ketones naturally. When digested, the liver converts MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) oil into ketones. In the first few weeks of life, ketones provide about 25 percent of the energy newborn babies need to survive.
As Dr. Newport continued to read about MCT oil and the new medication, she discovered something surprising: Non-hydrogenated coconut oil is more than 60 percent MCT oil, and this medication derived its MCT oil from this readily available tropical tree'"
