3 Health Benefits of This Coconut Pancake Syrup

#1: Supports Diabetics

Coconut has been used for thousands of years as a healing plant in Eastern cultures. It’s known to contain antioxidants as well as medium chain fatty acids that offer a vast array of health benefits.

For people with diabetes, finding the right foods that help control insulin as well as prevent complications of the disease is essential. As it turns out, coconut may be one of the best foods that diabetics can include in their diet.

Research suggests that coconuts not only improve insulin sensitivity in diabetics, but they may also be supportive to secondary conditions that go along with diabetes.

Lauric acid, a medium chain fatty acid found in abundance in coconuts, may help reduce kidney damage as well as retinopathy — two side effects of diabetes[*].

#2: Supports Heart Health

Switching out sugar for alternatives like stevia provide a number of benefits to your health.

However, one of the lesser known and most exciting benefits is the effect that stevia can have on your heart.

When researchers gave a group of women with high cholesterol stevia extract, the women exhibited a decrease in LDL cholesterol and triglycerides. In addition, their beneficial HDL cholesterol went up.

Since high levels of LDL cholesterol is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease, the researchers suggest that stevia may be used to reduce cardiovascular disease risk[*].

#3: Fights Inflammation

Another benefit of coconut is its anti-inflammatory activity.

The medium chain fatty acids in coconuts provide a source of nutrition that not only fights fat accumulation but also the inflammation that’s often associated with obesity[*].

In one study, researchers fed a group of mice a diet high in refined carbohydrates. This type of diet caused increased fat accumulation and inflammation in the mice (no surprise there).

However, when the researchers gave the mice virgin coconut oil, they saw decreases in fat mass, along with a reduction in inflammation. In addition, the coconut oil fed mice experienced greater glucose tolerance[*].
