It now comes in a variety of forms from water to milk, cream, sugar,butter, oil, flour, dried and shredded allowing for a variety of creative ways to add coconut to a healthy diet.

Coconut contains a unique type of medium chain saturated fat called lauric acid that research shows raises HDL or "good"cholesterol levels, which lowers overall heart disease risk.

As a plant food, coconuts also contain disease-fighting phytochemicals or antioxidants. Research suggests that coconut products helps boost metabolism which is helpful if excess body fat needs to be lost.

Just one scoop of coconut oil delivers a wide-range of healing properties.
