PALEO 興盛歐美多年,是針對文明病身體的健康而坦討出來的飲食流派之一。依據此飲食基礎,提點出新陳代謝與身體營養需求所指定的椰子油品質--強調以非精煉油品為選擇原則。

【PALEO DIET 】舊石器時代的飲食,古飲食,穴居人飲食或石器時代的飲食是一種現代時尚飲食,需要在舊石器時代期間唯一或主要食用人類可以獲得的食物。
然而,解剖學上現代人的消化能力與史前人的消化能力不同。在長達260萬年的舊石器時代,人口的高度變化的氣候和全球傳播意味著人類必然具有營養適應性。

古代飲食的解釋方式存在很大差異,飲食通常包括蔬菜,水果,堅果,根和肉類,通常不包括乳製品,穀物,糖,豆類,加工油,鹽等食物。 原始人飲食的基礎是避免加工食品,而不是人類在新石器時代革命後開始進食的食物,當時人類從狩獵 - 採集生活方式轉變為定居農業。促進古飲食是改善健康的一種方式。有證據表明,與典型的西方飲食相比,遵循這種飲食可以改善身體成分和代謝效應。

椰子油的健康益處 Health Benefits of Coconut Oil
椰子油有益於許多不同的事物,包括心臟健康。雖然有些人可能因為它是飽和脂肪而避開它,但要記住近期更新的研究表示__飽和脂肪並不是我們過去認知心臟病的罪魁禍首了。椰子油實際上具有保護心臟的作用,如降低膽固醇和血壓。它甚至可以減少對動脈血管的傷害。

椰子油也有效促進健康的頭髮。它可以幫助治愈受損的頭髮,促進強勁的新生長。洗滌前將椰子油放在乾燥的頭髮上,或作為護髮素洗滌後留下。除了頭皮保養,椰子油也非常適合護膚。它可用於解決各種膚質的基本問題,甚至乾性皮膚到嚴重濕疹的狀況。

Coconut oil is beneficial for many different things including heart health. While some may steer clear of it because it is a saturated fat, it's good to keep in mind that recent studies have shown that saturated fat isn't the culprit we once thought it was when it comes to heart disease. Coconut oil actually has heart protective benefits like reducing cholesterol and blood pressure. It even reduces damage to arteries.
Coconut oil is also effective at promoting healthy hair. It can help to heal damaged hair and promotes strong, new growth. Put coconut oil on dry hair before washing , or leave in after washing as a conditioner. Beyond the scalp, coconut oil is also great for skincare. It can be used to address anything from dry skin to severe eczema.

•協助除去導致胃部潰瘍的細菌,以及引起尿路感染,癬和腳癬的細菌。

•提高身體吸收膳食礦物質,改善骨骼和牙齒健康的能力。

我應該吃椰子油嗎?椰子油算是原始人飲食－Paleo嗎?

當你看到不同的椰子油產品時,你可能會注意到有標明“精製”或“未精製”。
「精製椰子油」是經過加工,使其顏色更白,並減少椰子氣味和味道。這類產品是在非常高的溫度下完成的,甚至是利用化學溶劑,從分級後的椰子油(非第一道)中提取可能的油。

「未精製的椰子油」則是以“初榨椰子油”為代名詞,意味著它沒有經過多層溫度加工,不同於精製椰子油。「初榨椰子油」也不需要溶劑或其他添加劑加工成為更乾淨的形式。因為它本身的加工過程較少,初榨製程的椰子油在味覺與口感風味表現上,會比精製的替代品更接近原來的椰子味道。

當你過著古老的生活方式時,我們的目標是購買最自然的東西。對於你不一定能自己製作的物品 – 譬如椰子油, 這意味著你必須盡可能選擇較少加工的椰子油。因此,原始製程或未精製的椰子油對於Paleo飲食是可以被接受的,但請避掉精製加工的椰子油。

如同所有油脂般,即使是健康的脂質也應該與各種脂肪保持平衡的應用。
椰子油非常適合烹飪,是因為它本身是飽和脂肪,不會像普通級橄欖油和其他單一不飽和脂肪那樣在烤箱溫度下受損。椰子油本身也是低過敏性的油脂。

使用椰子油烹飪並製作美味的Paleo食品,如沙拉醬,及用於護膚上,它能成為廚房櫃上的好物之一。
但且要注意,比如:每天服用椰子油作為補充劑或吃很多湯匙等等。這是屬於太過誇飾的說法了

而最好的是要攝取各類的脂肪才最能滿足身體所有的營養需求 。針對PALEO的椰子油攝取,若將它整合到你的食譜中則會容易許多－坊間 Paleo食譜都有將椰子油設定進去－都可前往參考之。

Should I Eat Coconut Oil? Is Coconut Oil Paleo?
When you're looking at different varieties you may notice that some say “refined” or “unrefined.” Refined coconut oil has been processed to make it whiter and to have less of a coconut smell and taste. This is done using very high temperatures, and at times, solvents will be used to extract as much oil from the coconut as possible.

Unrefined coconut oil is synonymous with “virgin coconut oil”, meaning that it has not been processed with high heat like refined coconut oil. It also doesn't require solvents or other additives, making it a more pure form. Because it has been processed less, it will still smell and taste more like coconut than the refined alternatives.

When you're living a Paleo lifestyle, the goal is to consume things in their most natural state. For items that you can't necessarily make yourself – like coconut oil – this means purchasing them with as little processing as possible. Thus, virgin or unrefined coconut oil would be acceptable for a Paleo diet, but refined coconut oil would not.

As with all fats, even the healthy ones should be balanced with a good variety. Coconut oil is great for cooking, as it is already a saturated fat and won't be damaged from oven temperatures like olive oil and other monounsaturated fats can be. It is also hypoallergenic.

Using coconut oil to cook with and to make delicious Paleo items like salad dressing, as well as using for skincare, makes it a great addition to your Paleo cupboard. But beware of gimmicky tricks, like taking coconut oil as a supplement or eating several tablespoons daily. You won't have need to take it by itself if you integrate it into your recipes – and many Paleo recipes already call for it – and, as mentioned before, it's best to vary fat intake to ensure that all of your nutrient needs are met.

如果您正在嘗試改善身體的各種飲食法~~ PALEO DIET 並非極端的讓你拒絕現代化食品,而是以飲食方法來檢視我們選擇入口食物這件事。
