Coconut is one of the foods that heal and protect the body internally and externally. Coconut milk is widely used in cosmetics, but also supports the immune system and cell structure when drunk.

 

Coconut milk contains many vitamins and minerals, including potassium, calcium and chloride. The saturated fatty acids consist of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids, which are quickly converted into energy by the body and are therefore not stored as fat. Despite the high content of saturated fatty acids, coconut milk is suitable for diets and supports weight loss.

One of the fatty acids in coconut milk is lauric acid, which has antiviral, antibacterial, antimicrobial and antifungal properties.

As coconut milk is dairy-free, it is a good alternative if you are lactose intolerant or allergic to milk. The drink, which is suitable for vegans, is also free from soya, gluten and nuts.

Coconut milk is known to relieve the symptoms of sore throats and ulcers.
