Remedy for Type II Diabetes
When cells refuse to respond to insulin and cease consuming glucose for energy, they are considered insulin-resistant. The pancreas then secretes insulin to initiate and counteract an overproduction cycle. Insulin resistance is the precursor to type II diabetes. The medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) found in coconut oil assist in balancing the insulin actions in cells and promote a healthy digestive system. They relieve the pancreas of stress and provide the body with compatible energy sources that do not rely on glucose reactions, thereby preventing type II diabetes and insulin resistance.
