(Health-NewsWire.Net, May 05, 2015 ) Chattanooga, TN -- Yvonne Hitchcock of Santulana was delighted to see the results of a study this week which states quite categorically that using coconut oil as toothpaste is one of the best ways to maintain healthy gums and teeth. The study tested coconut oil's efficiency in fighting bacteria and found excellent results.
Chief researcher, Dr. Damien Brady said "Incorporating enzyme modified coconut oil into dental hygiene products would be an attractive alternative to chemical additives, particularly as it works at relatively low concentrations. Also, with increasing antibiotic resistance, it is important that we turn our attention to new ways to combat microbial infection."
Coconut oil is used widely in tropical countries for various purposes and was used in the States until the 1970s, when people within the soy and corn oil industry started saying that coconut oil was high in saturated fat and should therefore not be consumed. It is now enjoying a worldwide revival and is used in cooking and in healthcare products.
Coconut oil is excellent for those with heart problems as it contains 50% lauric acid which helps to prevent high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels which can cause heart disease. Coconut oil's antifungal, antiviral and antibacterial qualities help to keep the immune system healthy. It also helps the body to absorb vitamins and minerals which are essential for health.
Candida can also be prevented and even cured by including coconut oil in a diet. This silent disease can be exceptionally debilitating and can cause digestive problems, hair and skin problems and infections of internal organs and can eventually lead to serious autoimmune diseases.
Coconut oil is also great for oil pulling which draws toxins out of the mouth. It is recommended to oil pull for twenty minutes three or four times a week. This can be done while gently bouncing on your stability ball or Swiss ball.
