Raising Good Cholesterol
The MCT present in coconut oil might aid in preserving insulin sensitivity. There are two kinds of cholesterol: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) known as bad cholesterol or high-density lipoprotein (HDL) also known as good cholesterol. HDL seems to aid in reducing the level of LDL, and increasing levels of HDL also enhances cardiovascular health. Some researchers argue that medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), a substance in coconut oil, might aid in boosting good cholesterol levels. People take 1 tablespoon of coconut oil daily 2 times for almost 8 weeks. It aids in lowering bad cholesterol.
