Coconut Oil vs. Olive Oil: Which is Better?

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 alright thanks for watching hey you know what I

just wanted to say thank you for watching these videos you made it this far I appreciate your attention and your precious time
