Coconut is a health-promoting food. It is versatile - it can be a fruit, a nut, and a seed. It is high in healthy saturated fats. These fats can boost fat burning and provide quick energy. Coconut also raises the good HDL cholesterol in blood, and thus reduces the risk of heart diseases. Coconut is highly nutritious, rich in fiber, and packed with essential vitamins and minerals. Its flesh is rich in fibre, vitamins C, E, B1, B3, B5 and B6 and minerals including iron, selenium, sodium, calcium, magnesium and phosphorous. Coconut flesh restores oxidative tissue damage. Its fatty acid boosts metabolism and aids in fat loss. It also boosts one's immunity and contains antifungal, antiviral, anti-parasitic and antibacterial properties as well. A single coconut usually provides an 11 ounce serving of water - the water is low in calories and fat but rich in vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients.
