All of you who know us at Integra, know we are coconut oil's biggest fans! As the hype surrounding swine flu escalates, rest assured there are amazing immune boosting foods right under our noses! Coconut oil is particularly protective against swine flu. H1N1 is a lipid coated virus, and thus is inactivated by sufficient amounts of monolaurin. Lauric acid, found in coconut oil is converted to monolaurin - very cool!
Two to three tablespoons of coconut oil per day appears to be an adequate dosage to fight infection, even from virulent antibiotic-resistant organisms such as MSRA. I know that is a lot of oil, so just start by adding to your diet in a variety of ways. Remember that coconut oil is used for energy in the body, it aids in weight loss - it is not stored as fat.
Another great source of lauric acid? Breast milk - another incentive to breast feed your baby! They don't need a flu shot, they just need mama's milk!
