All people involved in any sport or exercise should
try the benefits of using VCO before participating
in their activity. The recommended dosage is two-three
spoons per day, its delicious and can be spread on
a piece of toast, or added to a milkshake/smoothie
etc. Discover the benefits of this delicious snack
prior to activity. You can feel the difference!
 The
fact that MCFA's digest immediately to produce energy
and stimulate metabolism has led top athletes to use
them as a natural means to enhance exercise performance.
There are several studies showing this to be true.
The last thing any sports person wants is a snack
loaded with glucose/sugars! This may give a very short
lasting burst of energy but will not assist in any
sport requiring stamina. The problem with honey/sugar
loaded cereal type bars is they may give the HIGH
but after your Pancreas has pumped out insulin to
cope with the high glucose contents, it will give
you an extremely LOW sugar level shortly after, which
is not wanted in any sport that requires stamina!
(High peaks/low troughs).
Because Coconut oil is transported straight to the
liver it is processed in a very different way as direct
energy and because it is a Triglyceride it is longer
lasting, this also puts less strain on the Pancreas
and allows a more level release of insulin (less body
strain/more physical energy), it is therefore excellent
for sports people who wish to increase their performance
without carrying the extra weight and bulk of performance
foods.
 Anyone
participating in sport knows the problem with foot
perspiration, athlete's foot and verucae etc. using
virgin coconut oil as a foot lotion after sport and
because of its anti viral and anti bacterial properties,
it helps to keep these problems in check.
If you receive injuries either muscular/skeletal,
the high lauric acid content of VCO will help speed
up the repair process.
