There are many benefits to consuming Coconuts….

Coconut Water: Here they call it “agua de pipa” but did you know that it has more electrolytes than Gatorade?! It is also low in sugar, carbohydrates and it fat.

Coconut Oil: Your body doesn’t process it the same way it does other fats. It actually aids in weight loss, helps lower cholesterol levels, increases immunity, as well as aids in digestion and metabolism.

Coconut Meat: It has one of the highest percentages of fiber among all plant foods at 75%.

Coconut Milk: Helps fight off illness and disease.

    I take serious offense to the idea that coconuts are all you need. As demonstrated in the documentary Cast Away, coconuts make you go insane and start talking to volleyballs. Also demonstrated in that movie they are not a adequate source of the nutrients necessary for survival. The unfounded statements of this article could kill someone trapped on a deserted island because they would believe they could live on their “coconut republic!” And all that fiber would make for taco bell level dysentery.
