COCONUT OIL DOES INCREASE HDL

everexotic profile image
39 Replies

On advice of medfree, I started taking two teaspoon of Coconut Oil (Virgin Cold milled) morning evening, after lunch and dinner. My HDL at the start of taking oil was 31 (reduced from 32 about a month ago). After over a month, today my my report has shown 36. This has also improved LDL/HDL ratio. So guys, instead of putting into your hair, put it in your stomach. It will do you good!

Flax Seeds will drop LDL even faster. Also Coc oil- both are veg my friend. In winters enjoy walnut, almonds, pistachios- enjoy as u drop yr LDL.

At the rate dry fruits are selling, I will have a heart attack. There will be no need to lower anything anymore.

in reply to everexotic

Wait some time imported dry fruits will sell cheaper than Onions.

So far, I am in the impression of not taking coconut oil in the food items; It is not at all used in our family, out of fear. Thanks for the above information.

tantravahi in reply to thangavelu

my advise to you never drink coconut oil, in Kerala people use coconut oil as cooking media, if you consume directly your cloistral level 's will go up

I don't blame you, I was also under the same impression. But if you Google, you will find articles after articles of Coconut Oil on Lipids.

Please also google the Banting Diet by Prof Tim Noakes who recommends coconut oil, olive oil etc. This diet has helped a lot of people with diabetes and pre-diabetes. Also check out cholesterol stories as I have heard that the whole cholesterol "problem" is a scam to make Big Pharma rich.

Yes, cholesterol level will go up, but good cholesterol levels HDL will go up. That is happened in my case. LDL levels are the same. Google it.

Dear Everexotic,

To improve your HDL you must go for long walks every day. It need not be a brisk walk but for long duration. I would suggest you a daily walk of one hour will improve your HDL substantially.

Now it is clinically proved that Coconut oil is one of the best oils on par with Olive oil. It is enough if you take 10 grms of it per day to get the maximum benefit. You can also try drinking Coconut Milk (Not coconut water) every day and see excellent results in your lipid profile and Sugar profile.

Are you on any Statin drug ?

regards

Raam

We in Konkan love coconut oil in cooking, so if you can kindly inform the source, which recommend coconut oil for increasing HDL. I will be highly obliged

everexotic in reply to Kashalikarwaman

Oil should be from good coconuts and cold pressed.

I do walk every day but not for an hour. I was on statin drug, which I stopped 4 months ago, because of myopathy.

ramki999 in reply to everexotic

It will be good if you can walk for one hour. It will set right your metabolism. What statin were you taking and at what dose. You can reduce the dose to 10 mg or even 5 mg and get the benefit without the side effect of Myopathy. You can also try taking it on alternate days if you are a real Hypercholesterolaemia person. But some statins also reduce HDL along with LDL and TGL . If you are on Atorvastatin then try to switch over to Rosuvastatin (Rosuvas 10 mg ) and see how it works for you.

Coconut Oil is the BEST suited for cooking medium; because of faulty promotion, it had lost its sanctity even in Kerala. Coconut oil is only oil which can be reheated any number of times without any change in quality of oil. There is no doubt that this oil increases HDL.

Secondly, there is one of myth that cholesterol is bad for health; in fact it is must for our entire metabolism. Doctors are prescribing statins in case cholesterol is high; why are not they suggesting people to take oil if their cholesterol levels are low?

We had been slaves politically in the past; now culturally slaves.

There is proverb which everyone knows"Be a Roman while in Rome"; let us be Indians at least when in India.

Coconut oil when heated up and mixed with spices loses it's HDL lowering capacity.

The important parameter is LDL/HDL ratio. If it's below 4 that is great

Garlic Therapy cheapest and easiest without wt gain by eating Coc oil/nuts- 4-5 cloves of garlic, chew well and swallow with a glass of luke warm water and juice of 1 lime. First thing in morning. Check your HDL, LDL and weight loss after a month and report to everyone here.

Sounds interesting. Will try it. Also cinnamon is great for reducing levels. Have tried it and it works every time! Exercise too, as you say.

Well, my LDL did not go up. Plus important parameter is LDL/HDL ratio, which improved because of increase in HDL.
