Coconut Milk

Coconut Milk is a great Immune system booster, I try to have a small glass whenever I can as it has these amazing things as quoted from the ehow site:

Nutrients

  • Coconut milk contains many vitamins, minerals and electrolytes, including potassium, calcium and chloride.



  • Saturated Fat

  • The saturated fat in coconut is made up of short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids the body quickly turns into energy instead of storing as fat. Therefore, even though it's high in saturated fat, coconut can aid in weight loss.



  • Lauric Acid

  • Half the medium-chain fatty acids in coconut milk are composed of lauric acid, which is anti-viral, anti-bacterial, anti-microbial and anti-fungal. Coconut milk can help boost the immune system.



  • Dairy-Free

  • Coconut milk is a dairy-free alternative for those who are lactose intolerant or allergic to animal milk. This vegan drink is also soy-free, gluten-free and nut-free.




  • Coconut milk and oil can help aid the fight against Candida also.
