The health benefits of Coconut Vinegar and its uses.
Coconut vinegar is made by fermenting coconut sap from the leaves of the coconut tree for
8-10 months.
This has some fantastic health benefits for the human body and is often used in salad
dressings and cooking.
In today's video we will highlight 14 facts and benefits of Coconut vinegar and plain
how to use this at home.
1. Fat Burning Coconut vinegar is a powerful weight loss
aid because it is rich in acetic acid. Acetic acid helps the body to break down fat and
convert it into energy. Drink 1 teaspoon in a glass of water before a meal with a little
lemon juice to help speed up the metabolism and strengthen the stomach.
2. Immunity Acetic acid found in coconut vinegar has also
been shown to speed up immune cells in the body. These cells attack harmful microbes
like viruses, parasites and bacteria that infect the body, so that you can heal and
become well.
3. Nutrient Absorption Consuming coconut vinegar before a meal helps
to strengthen the natural stomach acids so that you can absorb more minerals and nutrients
from your food. We highly recommend making a healthy salad dressing with mint, lemon
juice and coconut oil. Drizzle this over healthy salads to help your digestive system absorb
more nutrients.
4. Blood Sugars Consuming fermented foods such as coconut
vinegar, sauerkraut or pickles helps to keep blood sugars under control. These are very
easy to digest and help improve insulin sensitivity. Simply put, coconut vinegar helps your cells
to absorb sugar (glucose) better so that your blood sugar levels remain stable. This is
excellent for those with diabetes.
5. Cravings By keeping blood sugar levels stable, coconut
vinegar also helps to prevent cravings for junk foods and mood swings. Coconut vinegar
is also higher in potassium than other vinegars, which also helps to keep cravings at bay.
Potassium is a key mineral which most people are deficient in, so we also recommend consuming
potassium and leafy greens to keep these levels high.
6. Heartburn If you suffer with heartburn, acid reflux
or GERD then you are suffering with indigestion. This happens when the stomach struggles to
break down foods because it is too alkaline or has a high Ph. The acetic acid in coconut
vinegar helps to strengthen stomach acid, bringing the Ph. Down to its natural levels.
This helps the stomach to break down foods better which naturally relieves heartburn
and indigestion pain.
7. Heart Health Consuming healthy salad dressings made with
coconut oil and extra virgin olive oil can help to lower the risk of heart disease. These
work together to lower inflammation in the body and protect the heart and cardiovascular
system from becoming damaged. Coconut vinegar's potassium content also helps to keep blood
pressure under control.
8. Nutrients The sap of the coconut tree that is used to
make this vinegar is rich in Vitamin C and Potassium. It also contains choline, B Vitamins,
iron, copper, boron, magnesium, phosphorus, manganese and zinc. As you will only be consuming
small amounts, most of these nutrients will have little effect, however the acetic acid
will greatly benefit you.
9. Anti-Pathogen Consuming coconut vinegar or apple cider vinegar
on a regular basis helps to fight off viruses and harmful bacteria. Acetic acid is effective
against E.Coli bacteria, which is a common cause of food poisoning.
10. Gut Health By helping the stomach to digest and break
down foods, vinegars like this also support the friendly microbes that live in the intestines.
Coconut vinegar helps to cultivate an environment where probiotics can thrive, and harmful microbes
and pathogens can die. We highly recommend consuming coconut vinegar with "the mother".
This is cobwebbed like strains of proteins and probiotics which are excellent for your
gut.
11. Hair Health Coconut vinegar can be used as part of a hair
care routine, and is used as a natural conditioner. This can help to restore the Ph. Of the hair
after using baking soda or other natural shampoos. Vinegars help to kill off harmful bacteria
on the scalp and prevent dandruff and irritation.
12. Skin Care To clean off excess oil and traces of dirt
and makeup, soak a cotton pad in coconut vinegar and gently apply to the face. Do this morning
and evening to use as a natural toner alongside your regular skin care routine.
13. Products When choosing a coconut vinegar product look
for a high quality brand made from coconut sap. Choose a raw organic vinegar which contains
"mother." This Is strands of friendly bacteria and acetic acid which is very beneficial for
your body.
14. Coconut Vinegar Vs Apple Cider Vinegar Both of these liquids are rich in acetic acid
and will provide similar benefits for health. Coconut vinegar contains more minerals and
is better for restoring mineral balance in the body, whereas apple cider vinegar is better
for digestion with more probiotics and beneficial bacteria. Use a combination of the two for
some amazing health benefits.
As you can see coconut vinegar is a fantastic health booster, especially when it comes to
keeping blood sugars under control and losing weight.
