Coconuts or niyog as we call it here in the Philippines, have nourished, healed, protected, and beautified the human race since time immemorial. No wonder people call it, "The King Of Foods."Niyog is considered a nutraceutical or a functional food. Meaning, it possesses health benefits "beyond" its nutritional content. There are very few other foods, if any, on our precious earth that can compare to its nutritional and medicinal value.
For the longest time, tradition has it that eating this tropical fruit religiously is one of the secrets to good health and long life. Today, thousands of published medical studies are confirming thousands of years of historical evidence.
Many Filipinos instinctively call it "The Fruit From Heaven." Other cultures that consistently eat it exhibit remarkable health as well.
Of all its components, the most beneficial is the oil. Coconut oil (CNO) contains more than 67 percent Medium Chain Triglycerides (MCT) or Medium Chain Fatty Acids (MCFA). MCT or MCFA is what gives CNO its incredible healing and protective powers, towering above other dietary oils and fats known to man.
But don't forget the meat, juice, and milk.
Rich in fiber, the meat improves digestion, helps in weight loss, and protects against heart disease, just to name a few.
The juice or water dissolves kidney and urethral stones, destroys intestinal worms, and cures malnourishment among numerous other uses.
The milk has virtually all the health benefits of the oil and is more versatile in food preparation. If for some reason you dislike taking CNO straight, then coco milk can be an excellent replacement.
