MCT, three letters that work hard for us
Ketogenic, the new food trend
If you're at all aware of food trends, you probably know that the trendy diet right now is ketogenic (or keto ). This diet advocates a normal to high value of proteins, a minimum of carbohydrates and a maximum of lipids. The goal of such a diet is to teach the body and brain to function with an alternative energy source. Since the number 1 fuel for the body and brain is carbohydrates, when we remove them from the plate, our metabolism enters ketosis. In this state, the body produces ketone bodies. It is they and the lipids consumed which will support the body. So are fats good or bad for our health?
Fat yes, but not just any fat
Where we can find ourselves and make sense of all this is in the choice, but above all the quality of the fats consumed. Just because it’s fatty doesn’t mean it’s healthy! Choose plant fats as much as possible. For example, nuts, seeds and vegetable oils are excellent dietary sources. Also, choose your fats in their most raw state possible or at least processed so as not to alter their properties and nutrients.
MCT, an effective fuel
In this ketogenic era, we often hear the term MCT or MCT (medium chain triglyceride). This is a very special vegetable oil. It is used very effectively by the body to transform it into energy. She is a great support for keto enthusiasts. Fine MCT consumers will even say that this oil provides them with much more stable and longer-term energy. The Bulletproof company offers you the choice of two MCT oils. Each of them has a little something that makes them stand out from the crowd.
XCT oil
First, the XCT oil. It supports cellular energy metabolism. Its consumer can therefore benefit from better energy in addition to obtaining better physical performance.
Brain Octane
Then, Brain Octane. This oil, due to its molecular structure, converts very quickly into energy, especially for the brain. It provides the necessary fuel to avoid having your head in the clouds. It provides excellent cognitive support.
A healthy transformation for easy use
Each of its oils is extracted from coconut using healthy extraction and bottling processes without the addition of harmful chemical ingredients. Use them by adding them to your morning smoothie, salad dressing or even your coffee. You could also simply consume it with a spoon, XCT oil and Brain Octane are light oils in the mouth, tasteless and odorless. They will therefore be swallowed without problem.
If the choice of fat on your plate is crucial to your health, keep your standards high just like Bulletproof does.
