Coconut Oil Increases Beneficial Properties in Human Breast Milk

Cori Young COCONUT OIL FOUND advantageous FOR LACTATING MOTHERS... The unusual composition of hominian breast milk greasy includes the greasy acids, lauric unpleasant and capric acid, which have influential antimicrobial properties. These fatty acids offer the nursing infant protection from viruses such as herpes and HIV, protozoa such as giardia lamblia, and bacteria such as chlamydia and heliocobater. A study publicized in 1998 in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition has shown that lactating mothers who eat coconut oil and other coconut products, have significantly increased levels of lauric acid and capric acid in their breast milk. Thus, the milk supply has multiplied amounts of the protective antimicrobials , which will give even greater protection to the nursing infant. Pregnant females store greasy to assure boffo lactation. Any lauric acid and capric acid in the diet becomes part of the fatty stores. The milk fat of a lactating mother is made up of these stores as well as her current diet. If her diet doesn't contain lauric acid, then generally her milk fat will contain around 3% lauric acid and round 1% capric acid. When a lactating woman adds foods fruitful in lauric unpleasant to her diet, the amount of lauric acid acquirable in her breastmilk increases substantially to levels three times the original equal and nearly large the amount of capric acid. In countries where coconut oil is a diet staple, levels of lauric unpleasant in the mother’s milk can be as high as 21% and capric acid can be as high as 6% giving her infant even much protection against viruses, bacteria, and protozoa. Coconut oil can be old instead of butter in cooking and baking. You can stir it into oatmeal or equal use it as a spread. Also, this oil's healthful properties are advantageous for the skin. Pregnant women in many cultures the world over rub cocnut oil on their expanding bellies to keep skin soft and prevent itching. REFERENCES Fife, Bruce.

Holiday Dieting: A Sweet Way To Cheat

Laura Turner If your diet is making you a humbug this season, there’s some good news. Turns down dark chocolate, that decadent confection, may actually be good for you! Yes, recently conducted studies published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition have shown that a dose of dark chocolate will heed all sorts of healthy results. And with holiday-time upon us, this news couldn’t have come at a better time. So just for fun, I thought I’d conduct a mini-research project of my own and get the “skinny” on our friend dark chocolate. Here’s some of the interesting factoids I came up with:
  • Cocoa—the precursor to chocolate--has been around a long time. A few thousand years, in fact. It has been thought that cocoa beans were brought to Europe in the 1500’s by Christopher Columbus.
  • Cocoa, later made into chocolate, was acknowledged to American Soldiers in WWII. reported to historical data, each solider was given a cardinal chocolate bar per day ration, repayable to it being such a big source of high-energy.
  • Researchers got involved when studies showed that in addition to being a high energy food, chocolate also stimulates elevated moods. Researchers found truth to this, showing that dark chocolate does, in fact, increase levels of mood-altering chemicals much as serotonin and endorphins.
  • Some researchers have also gone on to conduct major studies to prove the correlation between chocolate and a genuine physiological craving. (Check out “Why Women Need Chocolate,” transcribed by Debra Waterhouse, Registered Dietician in 1999).
  • And, the best news yet. Upon far study, it has been found that the “flavonoids” in dark chocolate are scientifically proven to act as antioxidants, preventing “bad” cholesterol (LDL) in the blood from oxidizing and clogging arteries.
So, if you are looking for a healthy way to “cheat” this holiday season, dark chocolate may not be all together a bad option. Facts aside, however, and before you run out to fill your shopping cart full, keep these guidelines in mind:
  • Heed the advice of Aristotle: “Everything in moderation.” Refrain from taking the “chocolate factory tour.” Keep your chocolate fix to a minimum. Enjoy it, but please don’t finished do.
  • When you are shopping for chocolate, try to find “dark” varieties with at least 70% cocoa.
  • Also, make sure “sugar” or “butter fat” are not the archetypical items listed.
If you’d like to skip the treat but not the fun, send a realistic chocolate postcard from this fun chocolate website (no calories included) : http://www.virtualchocolate.com/index.cfm To summarize my findings; it appears that stygian chocolate is in fact our friend (and we will just leave its aphrodisiac qualities to your own offstage discussion groups, thanks). As for the cravings... Well, do we really need chocolate? Survey says: Dunno. But, with the holidays upon us, a Hershey’s specific Dark Chocolate once in a while—now available in the *sugar free” variety, mind you--sounds syrupy enough to me.
