Coconut oil, not to be confused with coconut milk, is the lipid (or fat) extracted from dried coconuts. It is a highly dense source of calories, which it provides predominantly in the form of Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT’s), a healthy form of saturated fat. Coconut oil has many uses including for frying, baking and general cooking as well as in cosmetics and for use as a fuel. When consumed regularly as part of diet it can show beneficial effects on skin texture, hair strength, for stress relief, digestive issues and improving immunity. Therapeutically, coconut oil has shown benefit when treating conditions as serious as HIV/Aids, autoimmune disease, impaired kidney and liver function and certain cancers. One of the things that makes coconut oil so versatile is its high MCT content (approx 92%) which grants it superb stability even at high cooking temperatures, and the presence of lauric, palmitic and caprylic fatty acids. MCT’s are also much more easily digested than other fats due to the fact that they do not require the presence of bile salts to digest them, and contain antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal compounds, which actually improve digestive health.

For an athlete, or participant in energy draining sports, coconut oil can really come into its own. Due to their unique chemical structure, MCT’s are not stored as bodyfat the way other lipids are, instead upon digestion they are transported to the liver for immediate energy metabolism. This can be particularly useful for athletes who are concerned about body composition (bodybuilders, track and field, football players, swimmers, martial artists etc), those on a low carbohydrate diets and anyone who requires energy dense foods but does not wish to gain excess bodyfat.
