Research suggests that the MCTs in coconut oil are converted into ketones, which can serve as an alternative energy source for the brain. A 2020 study in Frontiers in Neuroscience found that ketones may support cognitive function, particularly in older adults or those with mild cognitive impairment. While more research is needed to confirm effects on conditions like Alzheimer’s, coconut oil may provide a brain-friendly boost.
How to Incorporate Coconut Oil for Brain Health:
Add a teaspoon to your morning coffee or smoothie for an energy boost.
Use it in baking as a healthier alternative to butter or other fats.
Consult your doctor if considering it for specific cognitive health concerns.
Support Heart Health (With Caution)
