The amazing health benefits of the coconut.

Whether it's coconut oil or water, coconut has shown again and again to be very healthy.

Coconut oil is used for a plethora of different purposes such as
* Hair/Skin care
* Stress relief
* Lowering cholesterol levels
* Weight loss
* Increased immunity
* Proper digestion and metabolism
* Relief from kidney problems
* Reduced risk of heart disease
* High blood pressure
* Diabetes
* Hiv
* Bone strengthening
* Dental care
And more..
If you want to read more about coconut oil and what makes it so healthy, in detail,  I would advise you to look at this site. Or just use Google, there is plenty of information.

For me personally, I started using coconut oil a few months back. Sometimes I even have a shot of coconut oil before I eat, just to get my stomach going.
Since is stopped using the other oils I feel more 'light' in a sense. I also use it for my skin and hair with good results.

Coconut water is often used as a way to re-hydrate after exercise or diarrhea , as it is full of nutrients and electrolytes.
For example  100ml of coconut water contains 250mg of potassium and 105 mg of sodium. The water is also a very good source of vitamins such as riboflavin, niacin, thiamine, pyridoxine and folates. Furthermore its rich in calcium, iron, manganese, magnesium and zinc.

SO - If you have the opportunity and it doesn't cost you a fortune, drink at least 1 coconuts worth of coconut water every day, combine that with using only coconut oil to fry you foods, I believe you will feel the difference quite soon!

I am actually drinking the coconut water (and eating the flesh of course) on this picture, as I am writing this!
