It has been around for eons and still going strong - what am I raving about? Coconuts. Despite what other health experts say, COCONUT is the best natural food in the world and here is why...
None of the coconut is wasted material. Coconut water is the healthiest liquid by far, coconut meat is nutritious and high in fiber, coconut oil or fat is the healthiest oil in the world surpassing any other “healthy” oil by far. It’s not surprising that with all the benefits that coconuts contain people who live in tropical areas, where coconut is found in abundance, are some of the healthiest around.
SAY WHAT!?!...how is that even possible there is fat in coconut?
Well, here is how - coconut is anti-microbical, anti-fungal, and anti-viral. It has a high amount of vitamins, minerals, protein, and fiber. It has also been dubbed the “tree of Life” and been apart of traditional medicine and culture across the globe in countless cultures. It has numerous properties that fight off infections, support thyroid function, kill off viruses, and a host of others too numerous to mention all within this post!
The milk of coconut is said to be the closest thing to mother’s milk, not only is it nutritious for everyone who drinks it, it also is known to help babies who aren’t getting enough nutrition.
The oil found within a coconut is remarkable and unique. It was once considered and labeled as “bad” fat in attempts to solely promote other oils. Lately research and scientific study proves that this is a false accusation on one of natures most beneficial gifts. Another reason coconut oil’s popularity diminished was due to WWII when Japan occupied the various Asian countries that supplied the west with coconut oil.
Countless number of people have started using coconut oil in their diets to improve their health and promote weight loss. Another important aspect of coconut oil is that it has a very low melting point, 76°F (24°C) where as other fats have a higher melting point. The average adult body temperature is 98.6°F (37°C) therefore it would be impossible for coconut oil to solidify and clog your arteries. The fatty acid in coconut oil is medium-chain which is quickly burned up in the body. This type of oil is burned up for energy and not stored as fat while regular fat is a solid at room temperature.
And last but far from least, coconut oil is remarkable for the skin as it keeps your skin looking healthy and young. Just substitute coconut oil for your regular lotion and you’ll soon see the benefits.
