The naturally available item coconut contains a variety of benefits for the health. However, while some people say that coconut increases bad fat, some people are not ready to eat good fat. In addition, many diabetics are confused about whether they can include coconut in their diet or not.

Coconut is rich in a lot of nutrients such as carbohydrates, protein, vitamin C, vitamin B complex, and fibre. All of these nutrients are essential nutrients needed for one's proper physical functioning. In addition, coconut contains nutrients such as sugar and fat.

The lauric acid (a saturated fat), and capric acids (another saturated acid) in coconut have the ability to fight bacteria and viruses. Coconut is high in fibre. It is these fibres that help prevent high blood sugar. In the same way, coconut contains micronutrients such as copper, magnesium, iron, selenium and zinc.

You have to remember the fact that any substance that is readily available in nature will only benefit the body. But, the benefits of those products that are readily available in nature depend on the form in which we take those natural products. Doctors in general, recommend that people with diabetes should eat a diet rich in fibre and carbohydrates.

Since it contains fat I think It still may not be suitable for some people most especially for people with sensitive stomach because it can cause stomach upset, and also for people that have the tendency to be obese it may not be advise to take in any food that contains too much of fat because it can increase the risk of fatness which obviously will be difficult to their health and their overall body system... Even though Fat may contains good and natural nutrients but is still not the best for the body most especially if it is consumed in large quantities.

Not really, Coconut oil, which is gotten from the flesh of mature coconuts, is a popular cosmetic ingredient that nourishes your skin and keeps it healthy. The oil, which has been used in cooking and as a skin moisturizer for centuries, contains fatty acids that are good for your skin.

Its oil is easily absorbed into your skin, which makes it a great choice for keeping dry or mature skin hydrated. It also prevents moisture loss by forming a protective barrier on your skin.

The oil's fatty acids are also antimicrobial, which means that they help keep infections at bay. For example, applying coconut oil to your skin can help prevent yeast infections and protect wounds from bacterial infections. To treat wounds with coconut oil, wash the area thoroughly with soap and water before applying the coconut oil.

Coconut oil is a powerhouse when it comes to skincare benefits. It's also an antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory, so it can help speed healing for minor wounds and treat skin conditions like eczema and psoriasis. It's gentle on your skin, which means it can work well for sensitive skin . It contains vitamins E and K, which help to promote healthy growth of hair.
