(Medical-NewsWire.com, June 02, 2014 ) Glasgow, UK -- Numerous studies have shown just how important antioxidants are in maintaining our health. Experts suggest that we eat a diet that is high in fruits and vegetables to ensure that we get a high intake of these important substances; however extra virgin coconut oil is high in antioxidants too and it is easy to add to the diet.
Recent research has demonstrated that coconut oil contains substantial levels of antioxidants. The study was published in Food and Function and showed that coconut oil can help to reduce the oxidative stress in the kidneys, liver and heart.
The study was carried out by the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Kerala in India; the study set out to compare the antioxidant qualities of virgin coconut oil, refined coconut oil, sunflower and olive oil. Of the three different oils groups, virgin coconut oil was found to have the highest amount of antioxidants.
Antioxidants are crucial to our health as they help to neutralise free radicals. Our bodies can usually manage exposure to free radicals, however, if there aren't enough antioxidants in our bodies to neutralise them, or if we are constantly exposed to the pollution that can trigger the release of free radicals, then our health can begin to suffer.
The effects of eating a diet high in antioxidants are well known. It is believed that eating a diet that is high in these substances can help prevent health problems such as heart disease and cancer. While adding fruits and vegetables to our diet is also essential, adding extra virgin coconut oil is also an excellent way of including antioxidants in the diet.
Don't settle for anything less than the best. Ma Delvins has gained numerous positive reviews for its organic virgin coconut oil.
