If ever you have ever considered trying coconut oil as a health supplement, virgin (unrefined) coconut oil will be preferable since it contains higher degrees of beneficial "polyphenols" (specifically, ferulic acid solution and p-coumaric acid). Polyphenols in coconut oil may be potentially useful for Alzheimer's (and other diseases) since they act as antioxidants. Antioxidants temper the harmful outcomes of inflammation, e. Grams., and free radical production, which then causes so much damage in patients with Alzheimer's and other diseases that involve tissue weakening.

1. 1
   Some other virgin oils are also reported to be a good choice for lowering Alzheimer's pathology in animal models

   .

   These include extra virgin organic olive oil and virgin grape-seed gas, both of which are an excellent source of polyphenol content as well. So, one benefit regarding coconut oil in Alzheimer's may derive from polyphenols appearing as antioxidants.

2. 2
   The second possible way coconut oil may be useful for Alzheimer's is based on the high levels of "ketone bodies" inside the oil

   .

   

   Coconut oil produces ketone bodies if the fats in the oil are digested because of the body. Ketone bodies serve to supply dearly needed "fuel" and energy to the brain when glucose quantities are low, as regarding Alzheimer's patients. When brain blood sugar is low, the brain in time breaks down fats to produce ketone bodies as an alternate source of electricity. This energy is essential for nerve cell survival and for synaptic activity which underlies learning and memory. Virgin coconut oil contains the fats which can be converted into ketone bodies that serves as an alternate energy source for brain. The ketone bodies might provide energy to cells that lack feeling and synapses inside the glucose-deprived brains of Alzheimer's sufferers.
