Coconut oil contains fatty acids. These fatty acids are capable of increasing blood levels of ketone bodies that supply energy to the brain cells. Ketone bodies play a vital role in reducing symptoms in Alzheimers through producing alternative energy source for the malfunctioning brain cells in these patients. Usually reduction of glucose energy in certain parts of the brain leads to Alzheimers disease. It is found in studies that consuming medium chain triglycerides can lead to significant improvement in brain functions of the patients. And the other term for medium chain trigycerides is fatty acids, that can be found in coconut oils.
