Food and Health Awareness | Coconut and its Health Benefits
According to many studies, coconut has been declared one of the healthiest foods on earth. The benefits and uses of coconut are beyond the awareness of most people. Coconut oil is a real superfood made from dry coconut meat or walnut meat. Coconut has become a versatile food item and is used for everything from our daily diet to beauty regimen. Not so long ago, coconuts were blocked like an artery and foods containing cholesterol caused a bad reputation for heart disease.
Coconut Benefits
Alzheimer’s Disease Treat
Recent research shows that the brain has actually created its own insulin to treat brain cells for glucose and motility. Because the brains of patients with Alzheimer's disease lose the ability to create their own insulin, ketones in coconuts can create alternative sources of energy to help repair brain function.
Prevents Heart Disease and High Blood Pressure
Coconuts are rich in natural saturated fats. Saturated fats can not only increase healthy cholesterol levels in the body (called HDL cholesterol) but also help convert "bad" LDL cholesterol into good cholesterol.
Treats Kidney Infection and Protects the Liver
Coconut cleansing and treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney infections are well known. Medium Chain Fatty Acids present in coconut work as natural antibiotics by destroying the lipid coating on bacteria and killing them. Studies have also shown that coconuts protect the liver directly from damage. **
Reduces Inflammation and Arthritis
In a study in India, high levels of antioxidants found in native coconut oil were more effective than primary drugs in reducing inflammation and treating arthritis.
Improves Digestion and Reduces Stomach Ulcers
Coconut can also improve the digestive system by helps the body to absorb some fat-soluble vitamins, calcium, and magnesium. If coconut oil and omega-3 fatty acids are ingested at the same time, it can make them twice as effective because they are easily digested and used by the body.

Really like using coconut oil when cooking, it is very tasty (also coconut milk&cream are very goood). But many studies have said that it raises "bad" LDL cholesterol levels. So nowadays I try to use more extra virgin olive oil (even tough it is not as tasty...).
Coconut water is very tasty. Specially when it is green. In India subcontinent, there are various uses of coconut. Various types of cakes can be made from it. Nice post. Thanks.
