Did you know that medium-chain triglycerides (MCT) are a wonderful source of fat for energy levels, cognitive function, heart disease prevention, digestion and metabolism? These fats are metabolized differently than long-chain saturated fats, so they don’t require bile acids for digestion and they immediately pass to the liver through the portal vein. An example of an MCT is coconut oil. Try cooking with coconut oil next time you make eggs, or even try it in your coffee for a brain pick-me-up! The benefits of this healthy fat is endless! authoritynutrition/top-10-evidence-based-health-benefits-of-coconut-oil/
