What is the HEALTHIEST? COCONUT OIL? COCONUT WATER? COCONUT MILK?
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.
I would love to hear from you and how do you use these three products. Share in the comments with us, so we can all benefit, experience and live a healthy lifestyle.
God Bless You!

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.

You should definitely do it.
