The Health Benefits of Coconut Milk & Cream
Misconceptions about fat and fat free, still linger in the
minds of those who were told what was only an exciting
theory back in 1968. It was the possibibility that high fat
was causing America’s health issues. Other researchers
ran with that information and created a suggested fat free
healthy diet for Americans.
We have since learned from researchers and clinical
trials that the right fat containing Linoleic Acid and Omega
3’s is essential to vitamin absorption and good health.
Coconut Cream is the superfood of good fat.
Followed closely by Olive and Avocado oils.
Coconut milk is rich in short and medium chain
triglycerides that are considered to be healthy fats.
They prolong satiety causing you to eat less and avoid
cravings. In addition, they are more likely to be converted
to energy. Coconut milk is rich in vitamins C and E that
are well known for their anti-oxidant properties.
Coconut milk is rich in electrolytes such as potassium,
magnesium and phosphorous. Potassium is important for
maintenance of a normal heart rhythm. It is also crucial for
healthy muscle functioning. Magnesium is required for a
healthy immune system as well as maintenance of normal
nerve and muscle function. Phosphorus is a vital structural
component of bones and teeth.
Coconut milk will help you avoid anemia. Coconut milk when
applied topically on the skin helps in the skin’s elasticity. This
reduces wrinkles. Coconut milk is a healthy substitute for the
lactose intolerant. It contains Zinc, that aids in renewal of cells
that line the intestinal wall.
Substituting cane Sugar for coconut milk as a sweetener can
have remarkable results for those suffering from autoimmune
inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus
arthritis.
We really should never use the highly processed, low smoke
point, other oils on the market. Like everything else highly
profitable these polyunsaturated vegetable oils are wreaking
havoc with your body.
Without healthy oils your body cant properly utilize vitamins
and minerals. Industrial processed oils (polyunsaturated oils)
such as Canola, Safflower, Corn oil, actually hinder your
absorption of vital nutrients.
But olive oil, paired with vinegar and used on salds for
centuries, is what helps us absorb those nutrients,
BEWARE: Beautiful healthy virgin olive oil is being diluted
with industrial oils to offer you an unrealistic low purchase
price in the supermarket.
Organic virgin coconut oil is being contaminated with
gums, (emulsifiers), and deadly chemical preservatives.
A kosher symbol on the wrapper doesn’t mean the
contents or ingredients are approved. (Only that
its made on kosher equipment in a kosher facility).
READ THE LABELS. It’s not OK for food producers
to cheat us or damage our health. There is only one
way to stop them, Don’t buy their products!
