The very smell of coconuts giving you that instant feeling of being on a tropical vacation. Coconuts are the fruit (yes, they are a fruit, not a nut!) of the moment right now, due to their endless health benefits and possible uses. Coconuts are typically grown in tropical climates close to the equator, such as Asia, Africa and Latin America and parts of the United States. Coconuts have excellent nutritional value and can be consumed in a variety of different ways. The saturated fat found in the fruit is delivered straight to your liver to provide a quick source of energy, or be turned into ketones. Research suggests that ketones have a healing effect on brain disorders such as epilepsy and Alzheimer’s. The fatty acids in coconuts are also known to destroy harmful bacteria, viruses, and Fungai. Raw coconut meat is also a great way to incorporate fiber and the mineral manganese, which helps with stronger bones, healthy skin, and controlling your blood sugar levels. The fiber found in coconuts can help curb cravings by making you feel fuller for longer. In short, these fruits are astounding for the vast number of ways they can be eaten and used.
