3 reasons to eat coconut

Besides that coconut is tasty and fits perfectly with the summer, it is also healthy.

Coconut has an antibacterial effect
Coconut is anti-inflammatory and kills bacteria. It is therefore indirectly a good remedy for colds, fever and sore throat, for example.

Coconut increases fat burning
A coconut contains a lot of saturated fats and is therefore high in calories. And yet (as long as you don't drink liters of coconut milk) that does not necessarily make coconut a fatter. Our body cannot do without healthy fats.

Coconut reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease
People in New Zealand who eat a lot of coconut are said to have less cardiovascular disease.
