COCONUT WATER

I have been told that the clear water from a fresh coconut is as good as any statin. Can anyone verify this. Coconuts here in Thailand are very cheap and I have rather high LDL.

Is Coconut Water Good For You?

There's been rather a lot of different stories about Coconut water, which can make you become confused as to whether it is safe to use.

"For more than 4,000 years, coconut water has been revered as a natural source of nutrition, wellness beauty and hydration. In times of famine and war, coconut water has

been used as an intravenous fluid and saved many lives. It's the only natural substance

that can be safely injected into the human blood stream. Now that modern science has

validated its effectiveness.

Now I don't think they're suggesting that you inject it directly into your veins - at least I hope

not. But it certainly makes 'Coconut water' sound pretty special.

It's said to help with:

Muscle performance

Energy

Weight Loss

Heart health

Stress reduction

Skin, hair, and nail health

Mental acuity

Kidney cleansing

Natural hang-over cure

and much more...

I use 100% Pure Coconut Pure Organic Cold Processed Oil

as a moisturiser on my skin and hair - and a dab to my toothbrush

with a dab of toothpaste.

Does this answer your question?
