Coconut oil
Coconut oil has gained a lot of popularity in recent years and food bloggers seem to include the fat in just about any recipe. It reportedly helps with heart health, kidney and liver functions.
But at the end of the day, coconut oil is still a fat. And an increased intake, particularly of processed oil, could translate into unwanted weight gain. Moreover, being rich in saturated fat, could lead to an increase in LDL (bad cholesterol).
Captain’s tip: Opt for extra-virgin olive oil or other unsaturated oils as a healthier option.
