Before we look at the recipe, lets have a look at coconut oil, the miracle oil, that fights of disease, helps build immunity & turns you into a fat burning machine! The health benefits for coconut oil go on and on; to include skin care, weight loss, digestion, metabolism, heart disease, maintaining cholesterol levels, bone strength & many more! Coconut oil contains lauric acid (to read more about coconuts see our previous blog post here). Lauric acid is converted by the body into monolaurin, the monolaurin is great for your immune system & assists when fighting off viruses & bacteria! It strengthens the immune system as it contains antimicrobial lipids, lauric acid, capric acid and caprylic acid which have antifungal, antibacterial and antiviral properties.
It gets better, coconut oil is great for weight loss. With its short & medium-chain fatty acids, coconut oil is easily digested by the body & assists in thyroid function as well as enzyme systems. By increasing body metabolism, coconut oil burns more energy, assisting in the weight loss process.
Coconut oil helps in improving the digestive system and thus prevents various stomach and digestion related problems including irritable bowel syndrome. The saturated fats present in coconut oil have anti microbial properties and help in dealing with various bacteria, fungi, parasites, etc., that cause indigestion. Coconut oil also helps in absorption of other nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids.
Lastly, coconut oil contains lesser calories than other oils, its fat content is easily converted into energy and it does not lead to accumulation of fat in the heart and arteries. Coconut oil helps in boosting energy and endurance - making it the perfect choice for anyone that exercises regularly!
So lets enjoy some coconut ice!
