If you live in the tropical places, consuming coconut seems like the norm and are used in everyday life and so you have an idea about the health benefits.
Coconut is known to be the HEALTHIES FOOD on earth, it is the ***SUPERFOOD**** and the new WONDERFOOD, and a lot of people don't know how beneficial and amazing coconut is and the benefits and uses of the top coconut products are the most beneficial: coconut milk, coconut water and the coconut oil.

COCONUT WATER

Coconut water has been the most popular drink in the tropical countries for many, many generations. Today we can see the coconut water is being used as the most popular and the hottest healthy hydration drink for yoga or any kind of workouts.

It is filled with minerals, electrolytes, loaded with potassium, phosphorus, zink, healthy level of sodium and calcium.

It helps to hydrate and support the healing process. Doctors also inject coconut water to clear up kidney stones.

It does have 45 calories in eight ounces of coconut water, so don't substitute the drinking water with the coconut water if you are on a diet.

You can use it as a refreshing drink after the workout, or use it in smoothies as a mineral booster.



COCONUT OIL

The coconut oil is extracted from the coconut meat and pressed. The BEAUTY BENEFITS, and the HEALTH BENEFITS, cannot be overstated. From SKIN to HAIR care, to HEALTH care, this amazing coconut oil is a fountain or youth which helps you to feel and look younger.

91 Percent of the fat in the coconut oil is a healthy saturated fat, and 62 percent is made up of three healthy fatty acids, which include Caprylic acid, Capric acid and Lauric Acid.

Amazing benefit for the BRAIN by helping repair the brain function with the ketones which come from the coconut oil which can be used as an alternate source of energy when the Alzheimer patients loose the ability to create its own insulin.

Improves BRAIN FUNCTION and MEMORY.

REDUCES ARTHRITIS and INFLAMMATION

PROTECTS LIVER and treats KIDNEY INFECTION

It helps with the HEART HEALTH which lowers the risk of HEART DISEASE, and it also lowers the high triglycerides which also benefit the heart.

Also known to fight CANCER also prevent and treat cancer.

Increases your METABOLISM, also improves ENERGY and ENDURANCE.
As Dr. Josh Axe prescribes a HOMEMADE ENERGY FUEL, by mixing coconut oil, chia seeds and raw honey together (one tablespoon each) and intake that 30 minutes prior to exercise.

Coconut oil improved DIGESTION and reduces STOMACH ULCERS.

It is amazing for OIL PULLING, which I am doing as we speak for 20 minutes, at least 4 times a week, which cleanses the mouth of BACTERIA, and helps to prevent PERIODONTAL DISEASES by healing your gums and repairing your teeth.

Reduces the symptoms of PANCREATITIS and GALLBLADDER DISEASE.

It is recommended to intake at least 1 tablespoons of coconut oil, 2-3 times a day. I usually add it into my cooking, baking, in my health smoothies and I pretty much replace my butter, oil with the coconut oil.



COCONUT MILK

Coconut milk is made by grating the meat of the coconut and mixing it with the water. While the coconut water is higher in sugar and electrolytes, the coconut milk is higher in HEALTHY SATURATED FATTY ACIDS and calories.

Coconut milk improves BLOOD PRESSURE, helps LOWER CHOLESTEROL levels and prevents HEART ATTACKS, STROKE and HEART HEALTH.

Because coconut milk is high in calories, it's better to use smaller portions which are about 1/4 -1/2 cup at once. Great to use in recipes or smoothies.

Helps to LOSE FAT, and BUILD MUSCLE.
Coconut milk is high in healthy fats, which keeps us full which prevents overeating or just snacking throughout the day.

Staple foods/drinks in our diet! Great read! Can't actually remember a day I didn't have a fresh coconut or cooked with coconut oil!

I use coconut oil daily, but the last time I had a fresh coconut was about 3 years ago, when I lived in El Salvador.

Wish I could send you some. Wouldn't know what to do without my daily fresh coconut. So good.

That's sweet and thanks. I would love to have one right now. Hopefully soon we will go back to El Salvador and enjoy our coconuts which are growing in our backyard and actually are giving really sweet coconuts right now, so I can't wait.

Hope you are able to move back there soon! Canada must be amazing too but so cold during winter!

Thanks so much for sharing.
I think even the shell is good for gardening or something along these lines lol.
Best thing ever, this should be a consumed daily.
Awesome post.

I totally agree with you @john89, coconut oil should be consumed daily.
I have not heard of the shell being good for gardening, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is.

With a bit of cutting skill, I've seen the shells made into salad bowls.

Yes, I also have seen that.

Coconut oil is healthy in moderate quantities, but it's important to watch your calories balance, because of it's tastiness it's easy to use it too much while cooking. Coconut water, for example, is perfect before or after workout :)

Absolutely @pydata.
I totally agree with you and thanks for checking out my post and this great comment.

Everything about Coconut are all useful, from the tips of it's leaves to the deepest of its roots.
@joalvarez this is such a very informative post.

I totally agree with you @shumuel.
Thank you for your comment and for your lovely visit.

will include it coconut milk after my workout

Helps to LOSE FAT, and BUILD MUSCLE.
Coconut milk is high in healthy fats, which keeps us full which prevents overeating or just snacking throughout the day.

I think that is a great idea @vidafitenessfeliz.
You should definitely do it.

Excellent post

Thank you @matmariela

Coconut has countless applications! Thank you for sharing and educating everyone on some of the MANY benefits coconuts provide! Whether you are using the oil, the mild or the husk adding some coconut to your diet is a great idea! :)

Thank you @annermriemay for your lovely comment and for stopping by.
I totally agree, adding some coconut to your diet is great idea, plus it give you so much more other health benefits. It really is a superfood.

Great information. Really learned a lot from your post. I love all coconut products especially the water. Nothing is more pure than the water of coconut. Thanks for sharing.

Yes. I totally agree with you @cjclaro. I drank a lot of coconut water in El Salvador, it is so refreshing.
I can't wait to go back and drink our own coconuts now, since they started to give us beautiful coconuts but didn't had the chance to try them yet.

I recently discovered coconut oil to make my own beauty products. Only a couple of days into testing, but so far very happy with the results. Now realizing I should also use it in the kitchen! 😄

Yes. I also use coconut oil on my face and body products. I always use it in my kitchen and just now I am doing the pulling with it, which is really gross for first 1 minute.
I also use it on my hair too.
How do you use it with your beauty products? I always like to learn more.

I use it on my face, just scented with essential oils (I had lemongrass so tried that). I’m currently in the mountains and not sure about the mix of sun and lemongrass oil, so now I just use pure coconut oil. Happy with both. 😊 I have also made my own deodorant with coconut oil, corn starch and baking soda. I wasn’t really expecting it to work but so far it’s outperformed the store bought stuff. Comes highly recommended if you haven’t tried it. 😊 I plan on making more stuff, but that’s as far as I’ve gotten. 😁

Recently started using coconut oil! Sooo goood!

Yay. That is really awesome and so, so good for you.
I have been using coconut oil for good few years, and I love it. I use it daily by taking it internally and on my skin and hair etc.
No more chemical creams etc. it's coconut face and lotion cream.

We really should know natural treatment like this. Whenever I suffer from stomachache almost always the treatment is coconut water. Also, when I smell coconut oil, it reminds me of home especially my grandparents because this is what they use for massaging.

That's correct coconut is very common on tropical countries like here in the Philippines,
Coconut oil - our grandparents usually used this for their hair and also for cooking, it was also used by @zephalexia on her belly on her pregnancy to prevent stretch marks.. and it really works..

Coconut milk
We usually used this for cooking, but ai already tried it on my long hair and it really is effective for healthy and shiny hair

Coconut water

When I was pregnant I had Urinary Tract infection and coconut water is what I drink to be healed...

Have a great day Ms. @joalvarez 😘😘😘❤️

Nothing is a waste as far as coconut is concerned, even the shell can be used for so many things

Yes. Absolutely.
I love coconuts.

@joalvarez well written

Coconut milk improves BLOOD PRESSURE, helps LOWER CHOLESTEROL levels and prevents HEART ATTACKS, STROKE and HEART HEALTH.

I never knew this broad knowledge on coconut...
I don't like coconut, but after reading this I've gat to love it.

coconut is tree of life they say , all parts are beneficial , with coconut milk , we usually used it as ingredient for cooking , then coconut water, refrshing when paired with ice and usually we use it as cure for urinary tract infection , coconut oil , used for massage and for tummy when pregnant ❤️❤️❤️

Wonderful stuff. I love coconut oil. And I like to add coconut flakes to desserts. This is a very tasty product. Thank you for writing interesting information about him.

Thank you @singa.
I also love using the coconut flakes on deserts especially my granola bars that I make.
Thank you for your lovely comment. Very appreciated.
