A traditional remedy for a healthier heart - Virgin Coconut Oil

In the lush green heart of God's Own Country, where the air is pregnant with the freshness of rain and the earthiness of rich soil, is an age-old secret to managing cholesterol—a secret as pure and natural as Kerala itself. It's about embracing a traditional remedy, one that might sound unconventional at first: drinking pure virgin coconut oil, a practice deeply rooted in the wisdom of our ancestors.

The unlikely elixir: Pure Virgin Coconut Oil

Struggling with high cholesterol levels can be a daunting journey, filled with dietary restrictions and medical concerns. But what if the path to better health involved something as simple as incorporating a natural, time-honoured ingredient into your daily routine?

We're talking about taking a small leap of faith and trying out pure virgin coconut oil—a liquid that health experts often rank just below the purity and benefits of breastmilk.

A step-by-step approach to a healthier you

1. Understanding your body: The first step is to get a clear picture of where you stand. A simple blood test can reveal your current cholesterol levels, setting the baseline for your journey towards better health.
2. The traditional touch: Twice a day, indulge in 15 ml of traditionally-prepared hot-processed virgin coconut oil. In Malayalam, it's known as Ventha Velichenna or Urukku Velichenna—a golden elixir made from fresh coconut milk in a traditional bronze vessel. This ritual, followed diligently for a few months, can be a game-changer.
3. Embrace the change: After a few months, take another blood test. Many have found a significant improvement in their cholesterol levels, a testament to the power of this natural remedy.

The science behind the tradition

Pure Virgin coconut oil is not just a culinary delight; it's a powerhouse of health benefits. Rich in lauric acid, it plays a crucial role in balancing cholesterol levels. It helps reduce the harmful low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol while boosting the beneficial high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. This balance is crucial in maintaining heart health and preventing cardiovascular diseases.

Infusing the traditional Ventha Velichenna in modern cuisine

If the coconutty flavor and aroma don’t do it for you, here are some creative ways to incorporate this miraculous oil into your diet:

• Stews and curries: Drizzle it raw over your favourite stews and coconut-based curries for an added layer of flavour
• Salad dressings: Mix it into your salads for a tropical twist
• Chutney powder: Blend it with chutney powder for a unique taste
• Black coffee: Add a spoonful to your black coffee for a creamy texture
