10 Healthy High Fat Foods
Food #9: Coconuts
Coconuts are the best source of saturated fat that we can find on the planet. Many people are skeptical about saturated fat, but research shows that people who live in areas where coconuts are consumed on a regular basis don’t actually have a higher risk of heart disease, as one might expect. In fact, many of the people in these regions are actually in fantastic health.
Coconut oil contains medium-chain fatty acids, which are metabolized different than the fats found in other oils. They are taken straight to the liver and turned into ketones here, which helps to suppress the appetite and enhance metabolism. Coconut oil also has a high smoke point and is ideal for cooking.
