Why Coconuts?
We love it! Adding this superfood into your diet can do wonders to your health.
- Rich in nutrients for overall health, including zinc, potassium, magnesium, selenium and copper
- The type of saturated fat found in coconuts is known as medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), which is digested easily and the body converts into energy rather than being stored as fat.
- Having coconut helps with physical performance, and is similar to the energy boost given by carbohydrates, but without the weight gain and insulin spike which can lead to health problems, especially in diabetics.
- Being a high-fat food rich in MCTs, and one also rich in fiber, this helps the body stay full and satisfied longer and can help you to avoid overeating.
- Coconuts are full of vitamins including Vitamin C, which are essential for boosting the immune system, and Vitamin E, which is needed to promote new cell development and help maintain good skin health.
- Contain the B vitamins – B1, B3, B5 and B6. These work together to release energy from food and keep the nervous system, blood cells and skin healthy.
- Coconut’s MCTs boost the body’s metabolic rate, helping with weight. This makes coconut a fantastic staple for those who suffer from low thyroid function.
- High antimicrobial and antibacterial benefits can prevent artery damage, which is associated with the cause of heart disease
- Has many beautifying benefits, such as natural antioxidants to reduce the aging process, healthy fats for strong, shiny hair, and antibacterial properties to reduce inflammation and acne and promote glowing skin
You might of heard, coconut meat are significantly high in fat, but the fats in coconut are mainly medium-chain fatty acids. These are the types that break down faster and do not accumulate in the bloodstream as much as the long-chain fatty acids found in meat. The medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs) found in coconut and coconut oils are believed to increase the rate of metabolism by as much as 5 percent over a 24-hour period, and can give you numerous health benefits such as the promotion of weight management by increasing fullness, reducing fat storage, increasing fat and energy burning.
Not only is it a perfect source of dietary fibre, coconut is packed full of essential and health supporting minerals, healthy fats and vitamins explaining its growing popularity in recent times. Did you know… a banana, has 422 milligrams of potassium, compared with 660 milligrams in a typical cup of coconut water.
The versatility and immense benefit of coconut makes it easy to understand why it is often referred to as the “tree of life.” It is an amazing superfood that packs so much benefit when added to your diet.
