Coconut offers a wide range of benefits to nourish your body while delighting your tongue. Raw coconut is rich in dietary fiber, which can boost health by normalizing bowel movements, reducing your risk of hemorrhoids, stabilising blood sugar levels, lowering blood pressure and cholesterol levels in your blood stream and keeping you satiated for a long time. This in turn, makes it perfect for those who want to lose weight. Coconut is also rich in medium-chain triglycerides, a type of dietary fat that may help in quick weight loss. Medium-chain triglycerides convert into monoglycerides and medium-chain free fatty acids during digestion. These two substances in your body use energy rather than storing as fat. The healthy fats in coconut may promote a healthy body weight and help you shed those extra kilos.
