Coconut? Isn’t coconut high in saturated fat? Well, yes, but remember that not all fat and not all saturated fat is bad. Not only is coconut one of the best sources of those essential fatty acids called medium-chain triglycerides, which provide energy with a balanced burn, but coconut is rich in lauric acid, found in human milk and known to have anti-viral, anti-fungal and anti-microbial properties.
Because of these properties, coconut can be used to treat candida! The Ayurvedic Encyclopedia, which explains the medicine of India, states coconut, one of the easiest fats to digest, is used as a tonic to nourish. It also softens skin and helps in the treatment of psoriasis and eczema. So moisturize with coconut oil or use it to give a loved one a massage. Try coconut oil to cook with and eat the fruit itself. Don’t be afraid. Everything in moderation is fine.
Ask me for some fantastic recipes that use coconut meat. And I do mean fantastic!
