Reduce seizures
People who continue keto diets for long period, which are quite low in carbohydrates but rich in fats, cure numerous disorders, consisting of drug-resistant epilepsy that often leads to seizures. Researchers think that the unavailability of glucose for the proper functioning of the brain might cause seizures more frequently in people having epilepsy on keto diets. However, the utilization of the keto diet in infants and adults having epilepsy does not show clear results. So, more research is needed.
Cutting your intake of carbs lowers the glucose level in your blood and raising the intake of fat might lead to the increasing concentrations of ketones. So your brain can utilize ketones as an energy resource instead of glucose. Coconut oil is transported into your liver and then converts into the form of ketones for the proper functioning of your body. MCTs present in coconut oil might increase the concentration of ketone in your blood that is used as an energy source for later purposes.
