Does Coconut Oil Help With Covid-19- Coconut Oil For Coronavirus With the onset of 2020, we were all faced with the wrath of the deadly pandemic- COVID-19, which led everyone to go under a lockdown lobally. Since then we have all been on a journey to find ways to cope with the pandemic. From our food habits to our work habits, everything has undergone a big change. Amongst all the changes, adapting ealthier food habits to aid the development of a stronger immune system-something all of us need right now. Food habit changes include things like having kaadha every day, including turmeric in our diet etc. As we all struggled to find ways of enhancing our immune system, meanwhile a study done by a group of scientists said that one of the potential cure for this novel coronavirus is something that is found in almost all Indian Kitchens- Coconut Oil.
COCONUT OIL & ITS BENEFITS Although to prove the effectiveness of coconut oil against the Covid-19 virus, clinical trials are under process, the benefits of coconut oil dates way back to more than a thousand years ago.According to one of the learned members of the COVID-19 state government task force, Coconut oil contains lauric acid- a saturated fatty acid that a human body can synthesis easily like ghee. Such fats are the healthy source of good fats which our body needs. In the context of coconut oil for coronavirus, it is said that whenever we intake or use coconut oil on our body, lauric acid is released from it. It is an acid that results in the formation of monolaurin. This released component Monolaurin has properties which can kill fungi, bacteria, virus & other pathogens.Except for coconut oil, no other cooking oil has lauric acid present in it. When we consume coconut oil in our meals and it gets ingested in our body, metabolites are released by the lipase enzyme. These metabolites, namely lauric acid & monolaurin, are the active compounds. This aid of coconut oil for coronavirus treatment is also supported by one argument given by a few people. According to that, coconut oil is majorly used for cooking in the Southern part of India, in Kerala,
Tamil Nadu etc. In India’s fight against the pandemic, the state & people of Kerala fought the deadly virus really well. THEOTHER SIDE OF THE ARGUMENT The other side of the story —‘can coconut oil kill corona virus’— is also thought-stirring. As per one of the doctors from a renowned public hospital, although coconut oil contains compounds such as monolaurin & lauric acid and zinc which is said to be an immunity booster for COVID-19 patients, there is no relevant data that shows precisely what is the absorption efficiency of the human body of all these compounds. In contrast to the argument that people from Kerala fought so well against the virus because of inclusion of coconut oil in their everyday diet being one of the major factors, there is another argument that says coconut oil has a high content of which is responsible for the high number of heart- related disease in the state. lipid in it
CONCLUSION Since the fight against COVID-19 has started, everyone is experimenting on what can work in their favour. Apart from its efficiency against the Coronavirus, Coconut oil has a lot of other health benefits as well and should be consumed regularly.
