15. Improves Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes

Type 1 diabetes is when the pancreas fails to produce insulin that is used to keep the sugar level in your blood stream under control. In this problem, coconut oil improves the rate of metabolism to such an extent that the dysfunctional pancreas starts to function again, and the production of insulin is resumed.

The medium-chain fatty acids in coconut oil help to burn fat and carbohydrates taken in with food, thus reducing the effect of Type 2 diabetes which is caused by resistance to insulin produced by the pancreas. The oil lowers sugar levels in the blood stream and you are able to control your diabetes symptoms better.
