CHAPTER 1

THE HISTORY OF COCONUT OIL

For over 5000 years coconut and palm oils have been used in tropical countries for their restorative and healing properties. The scientific name for coconut is Cocos Nucifera and was first written about in 1555 by the English. These plants have been around since the dawn of time and most historians believe that they Polynesians brought the plants with them to the pacific Islands. Although, some believe that coconuts were brought by more natural means because of their tendency to float and the fact that they are water tight. They have been used mainly in tropical regions of Central and South America, Asia, Africa, and India. Coconuts were so valuable that at times they were used as currency until the early part of the 20 th Century. After that, coconut oil began to be important to Egypt, England and the United States. England called coconut oil margarine, while the United States called it Coconut Butter. During World War II the Japanese occupied the Philippines and other islands in the South Pacific. Coconut supplies were cut off from the United States and new oils for cooking and home use had to be manufactured. This is where vegetable oil and polyunsaturated fats began becoming the staple oil in the home.

People have used coconuts for everything from medicine, to food, to cosmetic purposes. For example, the use of coconut oil can be found in writing regarding Ayurvedic medicine. Ayurvedic medicine was practiced in India and became a type of alternative medicine as time progressed from 1500 BC through the medieval times. This system is one of the oldest medical systems in the world, and the practice is based on the overall health of the person including mind, body and spirit.

After being used for thousands of years for many different purposes, it call changed in 1954. Doctors had decided that since there was an increase in coronary artery disease in the United States that saturated animal fats were to blame. People began using polyunsaturated fats and that trend has swept all over the world who didn't even eat a diet consisting of meat, potatoes and milk. It is believed that this change in diet over the past 40 years has caused an increase in obesity and heart disease.

The use of coconut oil in modern medicine has been lost over the years even though its medicinal, nutritional, and functional properties have shown to be positive. Coconut oil is different structurally, functionally and behaves differently than other saturated fats, making it a very healthy alternative to polyunsaturated fats.

For example, Canola Oil (short for Canada Oil) was processed in Canada from the rapeseed plant beginning in the late 1970's. Originally, rapeseed plants were used to make oil for lubricating products for ships, just as any other vegetable oil can be used. The rape oil goes bad very quickly unless it is cold pressed and used immediately. Canola oil is produced by using chemicals such as hexane and others to strip the oil from the seeds using very high heat. When heated, the oil has a putrid smell and the omega-3 fatty acids are turned into trans-fatty acids. When it is solidified it can contain over 40 percent trans fats.

Coconut oil is gaining new ground today as a healthy oil Coconut oil is natural and has so many wonderful uses for the overall health of you and your family, both inside and out. It can also be used in your home as a chemical free alternative to cleaning products. Extra virgin coconut oil that has not been refined has a pleasant aroma, a pure, white color and is solid. It also has a sweet taste. Coconut oil that has been refined will not have these characteristics. Be sure you pick an extra virgin coconut oil. Below we will give you 101 reasons to love coconut oil.

COCONUT OIL BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER PREGNANCY

Coconut oil is 100% safe to use before, during and after pregnancy. There are many uses for coconut oil for both you and baby. They are healthy alternatives to over-the-counter remedies as well. We will begin our 101 uses for coconut oil by looking at the ways that it is beneficial to you (and baby) before, during and after pregnancy.

Coconuts have long been used for pregnancy and fertility. Before pregnancy if you regularly consume coconut oil, it will help balance hormones. Balanced hormones make it much easier for a woman to ovulate and conceive.

Coconut oil can be a wonderful thing for women who are breastfeeding. There have been recent studies regarding the environment of the womb and diet during pregnancy. The studies have been related to food allergies, autism, asthma and other conditions. Coconut oil provides a boost of vitamins, minerals, proteins, and fats that can be beneficial to baby. Coconut oil has been used in formulas for quite a while because of the benefits. 2 acids in coconut oil are included in breast milk. Lauric acid and capric acid make up about 20% of human breast milk. These acids have anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-parasitic properties and support the immune system. This can help boost the immune system of the baby as well, allowing them more protection against illness and disease. Coconut oil is also high in Vitamin D carrying anti-oxidants that can help maintain a healthy cell structure. Coconut oil is also easy on baby's digestive system, and contains medium chain fatty acids (acids that are easily digestible by the body) that aid in growth and development. When lauric acid and capric acid is introduced into a woman's diet while pregnant the fatty acid content of breast milk will increase and will be stored in the body for 1-3 days. The first 10 hours is when the levels are at their highest. The acids will be stored in the adipose fat in the body and will be used during lactation, along with what her diet consists of. (fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, raw coconut oil and lean meats)

Remember, coconut oil is not only good during pregnancy but after preg

nancy since nutrients are passed on from you to the child.

Coconut oil can also be helpful during breast feeding when nipples become raw and sore. Use coconut oil on the nipples to ease the pain of breastfeeding. Since it is safe for you and baby, you can use it during nursing in order to get some relief while baby is getting the benefits.

Coconut water hydrates the body better than most sports drinks by adding additional nutrients, minerals and vitamins to the body. It has also been used to reduce vomiting and nausea due to tropical diseases like malaria and typhoid. Coconut oil can cause the same results because it also helps relieve the nausea and vomiting from morning sickness. You can mix the oil with a soup, a hot drink, or other drink or small meal. But, if your up for it, you an always try to take it without mixing it.

Coconut has long been used in many lotions, soaps and other products. During pregnancy you can use coconut oil as a moisturizer. It will ease itchy, uncomfortable skin that can become prevalent during pregnancy
