Can virgin cold-pressed coconut oil improve memory? Whether it’s age related or just sensory overload, my memory seems to fall short daily…just ask my husband and kids. I am only saved by numerous lists, calendars, alarms, and journals. Some may say this is normal for a busy mom, but I am convinced my brain needs a boost! Thus, my interest was piqued when I learned of a way to increase my brain function and maybe even slow down that inevitable deterioration.

If you or a loved one suffer from memory loss this may be of interest to you also.

Last July this study was published on the positive effects of coconut oil on Alzheimer’s Disease. Dr. Mary Newport fed coconut oil to her husband every day and recorded any resulting change in his Alzheimer’s symptoms. Her findings are really amazing.

“…the coconut oil he’d ingested seemed to ‘lift the fog.’ He began taking coconut oil every day, and by the fifth day, there was a tremendous improvement.”

How is this possible? Because of the presence of ketones in coconut oil which feed our brains, even from infancy.

From the article listed below Dr. Newport defined:

“‘Ketones are a high-energy fuel that nourish the brain,’ …when you are starving, the body produces ketones naturally. When digested, the liver converts MCT (Medium Chain Triglycerides) oil into ketones. In the first few weeks of life, ketones provide about 25 percent of the energy newborn babies need to survive.

As Dr. Newport continued to read about MCT oil and the new medication, she discovered something surprising: Non-hydrogenated coconut oil is more than 60 percent MCT oil, and this medication derived its MCT oil from this readily available tropical tree’”
