13 Health Benefits of Coconut.
Coconuts are one of the wonder foods on earth that amply provides for all human needs and have multiple health benefits... They can even save your life!
Few people understand how important the coconut is to stabilizing blood sugar; lowering cholesterol; healing; hydration; and even replacing blood plasma in an emergency.
Yet, it has been only recently that modern researchers have begun to fully discover the massive coconut health benefits this amazing fruit seed offers.
To give just one example of coconuts' life-saving properties, they were used extensively in the Pacific during World War II. Since blood plasma supplies were scarce, it was very common for medics to siphon pure coconut water from young coconuts to be used as emergency plasma transfusions for soldiers who were injured. Since coconut water is nearly identical to human blood, it was suitable for people of all blood types.
Because of its strong antioxidant properties and health benefits, the coconuts can be used to:
1 Lower cholesterol
2 Improve digestion
3 Ward off wrinkles
4 Stabilize glucose levels
5 Fight off viruses
6 Build cells
7 Regulate hormones
8 Increase thyroid production
9 Lose weight
10 Increase metabolism
11 Fight infections
12 Stave off memory loss
13 Kill bacteria
And more!
Considered one of the most treasured foods of all time, coconut products — including coconut flesh, coconut water, coconut oil, and coconut cream — each deliver superb health benefits.
