Uses of Coconut :
Coconut is taken by mouth for bladder stones, diabetes, high cholesterol, and
weight loss.
- It is said to reduce obesity and promote digestion.
- High cholesterol. Some early research suggests that eating foods prepared
with coconut flour can lower levels of total cholesterol and low-density
lipoprotein (LDL or "bad") cholesterol compared to baseline in people with
slightly high cholesterol levels. However, other early research shows that
people who eat large amounts of coconut have higher cholesterol levels than
people who eat lower amounts. The differences may be due to the type of
coconut that is eaten. Coconut contains coconut oil, which might increase
cholesterol levels. Coconut flour is prepared from the byproducts of coconut
after the removal of coconut milk. These byproducts are defatted and contain a
high percentage of dietary fiber.
- Bladder stones
- Weight loss
