What are the Benefits of Adding MCT Oil in Your Keto Diet Plan

MCT’s (Medium Chain Triglycerides) are special fatty acids which are naturally available in palm and coconut oils. MCT’s have a remarkable and amazing ability to promote ketone body production and stabilize blood sugar. When you add MCT oil to your keto diet, it makes it a  powerful source to decrease inflammation, enhance metabolism, and improve cognitive function. MCTs are easy to digest and don’t need the utilization and production of gall and bile. As you may know, oils and fats are the foundations of a keto diet. And when it comes to keto oils, the palm oil and coconut oil are the best to use.

 

Role of MCT Oil in Keto

To get into ketosis state, fat is the major source of energy. High-fat foods help in producing ketones and MCT oil help in generating all necessary ketones we require. These ketones are highly beneficial to the brain as compared to glucose. They maintain your blood glucose levels and also promote the growth of healthy brain cells.

Natural and Amazing Sources of MCT Oil Keto

When it comes to an amazing source of MCTs, nothing can be a better option than coconut oil. Coconut oil can be “refined” and “virgin”.

Both of them are full-fatty, so it doesn’t matter which one you’re using or preferring. They are different from each other just in aroma and flavor, otherwise both provide same benefits.

Other oils which are also perfect sources of MCTs are camphor tree oil and palm oil.

Grass-fed dairy items also come in the list of MCTs sources. For example, cheese, butter, and some other dairy products and good for keto as well. This is applicable only to people who can tolerate lactose.

For those who can’t tolerate lactose, grass-fed ghee is the best and safe choice.

 

Benefits of Adding MCTs Oils in Keto Diet

Adding MCTs oils in keto diet offers a range of health benefits. MCT oil contains fatty acids which are known as MCFA or Medium Chain Fatty Acids. MCFAs help you:

MCFAs and MCTs in Your Keto Diet

There are several methods to incorporate MCFA and MCT oil in your ketogenic diet. You can use coconut oil for frying, cooking, baking, and sautéing. If you don’t want to use coconut flavor, refined version is a great option. Add it to any food for extra sweet flavor.
