so I recently had a question from someone that wanted to know what would

be better to use coconut oil or olive oil so I want to go through the some of

the differences but they’re both really really good oils but have slightly

different purposes so let’s start with olive oil okay olive

oil it’s heavy on the omega-6 fatty acids which typically will cause

inflammation but olive oil is one of the only oils being omega-6 that will not

cause inflammation it’s an anti-inflammatory so it’s 78 percent

monounsaturated coconut oil is 92% saturated fat and honestly saturated fat

is not a bad thing okay it’s very stable it will not increase

bad cholesterol it will not clot your arteries it really has no side effects

despite being a saturated fat it’s not the type of fat that will cause heart

attacks or insulin resistance or anything like that

okay now olive oil is great to put on your salad it has tons and tons of

phytonutrients I mean a list is very very long so its phytonutrients are

those extra nutrients that give you extra health benefits that go beyond

vitamins and minerals there’s not hardly any minerals or protein in olive oil

actually there’s no protein there’s very little vitamins except there’s some vitamin E

and there’s no minerals it’s mainly healthy fatty acids which are essential

that means your body can’t make them but it needs them so it has Oleic acid 83%

linolenic acid 21% palmitic acid 20% and there’s there’s several other ones as

well so it’s healthy in that it gives you these fatty acids that are essential

but the biggest benefit for elavil is the heart benefit supporting a

healthy heart I believe the reason for that is because it stabilizes blood

sugars it helps to reduce insulin which is underneath our problem but it has

some a direct effects on the heart itself as far as healing the inside of

the artery as well and not to mention some vitamin E but there are other

benefits as well one being an anti like I mentioned before now coming over

the coconut oil coconut oil is really good for your immune system it has

something called lauric acid lauric acid is high in breast milk and

coconut oil okay so you have to make sure that the quality is there

but lauric acid is really good to support an immune system anti microbial

you can put a drop of garlic oil and put it in your ear to help ear infections

but you can do also do the same thing with olive oil you can put a drop of

garlic oil in the olive oil and just put a drop in your ear and that will

actually help your infections as well because it supports and protects the

flora the friendly bacteria and just attacks the the pathogenic microbes so

it’s pretty cool coconut oil also has phytonutrients I

believe olive oil has more but it still has numerous phytonutrients you can put

in your coffee okay and you can blend it up into it like a nice keto coffee

it also will increase HDL and lower LDL it’s great to as a part of a ketogenic

diet to give you energy you can put in all sorts of recipes for keto bombs and

again both of these have their benefits I wouldn’t even say one is better than

the other I would consume them both but they do slightly different things
