they contain fatty acids that are mostly saturated which means it is one of the oils that won’t go bad when cooked at high temperatures. the medium chain triglycerides inside are special because they can be broken down more easily that other types of fat and can also be used as fuel to our bodies and brains.

The coconut oil also enhances the ability of the brain neurons to use energy while at the same time reducing the production of damaging free radicals. It provides saturated fat a vital nutrient for the integrity and function of the brain cell membranes
