101 reasons to love COCONUTS...

Anyone who knows me, knows that I go through coconut oil and water like it's going out of fashion. I use it to cook, drink and even moisturise my hair!

Coconut oil is the ONLY oil which does not change in state when heated above 300 degrees, and the only oil I would recommend to use when cooking. Coconut oil has a wide number of health benefits; it is low in cholesterol, contains no 'nasty stuff' and is suitable for a vegan diet. It also helps in the prevention and relief of diabetes, kidney problems, heart disease, cancers; and aids in weight loss, increased immunity, heightened metabolism and digestion.

Green coconut water, which is found inside the younger coconuts, contains 10x the amount of potassium as bananas (perfect for when you suffer from a hangover). The clear water is full of electrolytes and contains zero fat & zero cholesterol. To be clear on the difference, coconut milk is a white liquid which contains oils & fats; it is produced from grating the coconut meat of older, brown coconuts; it is then used in baking and cooking.

Adding to the benefits of using coconut products as a food source, it is also a great beauty product too! Coconut oil is being studied for its antibacterial properties; it's is a hydrating products, inexpensive and extremely healthy! It Has been know to make hair grow longer, thicker and darker and remoisturise the body.
