Foods that help prevent Alzheimer’s
Coconut oil may help prevent Alzheimer’s
Coconut oil contains around 66% MCTs. When you consume coconut oil you stimulate your body’s own production of ketone bodies. How much coconut oil is necessary to start the process? Just over two tablespoons (seven teaspoons) of the oil contains the therapeutic dosage of about 20 grams of MCTs.
It’s best to start out eating coconut oil slowly, working your way up to the therapeutic doses. Consume the oil in the morning because it takes at least three hours to convert the oil to ketones and reach your brain. Build up the dosage over several weeks to get up to about two tablespoons of coconut oil per day, and be sure to pair it with food to prevent stomach discomfort. You can also find MCTs in foods like avocado and nuts. Restricting the number of carbohydrates you eat is yet another natural way to increase your body’s ketone production.
