The role of dietary coconut for the prevention and treatment of Alzheimer's disease: potential mechanisms of action.

Coconut oil contains unique medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) that are easily absorbed and metabolized by the liver and can convert to ketones, providing an alternative energy source for the brain. Evidence suggests that coconut may be beneficial in the treatment of obesity, dyslipidemia, elevated LDL, insulin resistance, hypertension, and Alzheimer's disease (AD). Coconut is rich in dietary fiber, vitamins, minerals, phenolic compounds, and hormones that may assist in preventing the aggregation of amyloid-β peptide, a key step in the pathogenesis of AD. The study explores the physiology of coconut and discusses its potential role as a therapeutic option for the prevention and management of AD. Coconut is considered a highly nutritious 'functional food.'
