Coconut Powder
The main ingredients of coconut include coconut water, coconut meat and coconut oil.
- Coconut water: Contains electrolytes such as potassium, sodium, calcium, and magnesium, which can quickly replenish water and regulate body fluid balance. It is suitable for drinking after exercise or when dehydrated.
- Coconut meat: Contains dietary fiber and medium-chain fatty acids (MCT), which provide energy and are easily metabolized, suitable for fitness people; fiber helps promote intestinal peristalsis.
- Coconut oil: Contains lauric acid, which has antibacterial and antiviral properties. It can moisturize the skin when used externally, and may assist in regulating cholesterol when taken internally.
- Specific effects and health benefits
- Hydration and electrolyte balance
Coconut water is low in sugar and calories, close to the composition of human body fluids, can relieve mild dehydration, and is better than some sports drinks.
- Antioxidation and immunity enhancement
Coconut meat contains polyphenols, and coconut oil contains vitamin E, which can remove free radicals and reduce oxidative damage. Long-term consumption may enhance immunity.
- Regulate metabolism and cardiovascular health
MCT fatty acids in coconut can quickly provide energy and reduce fat accumulation; some studies show that moderate coconut oil may increase the level of "good cholesterol" (HDL).
- Promote digestion and intestinal health
Coconut meat has a high fiber content (about 9 grams of fiber per 100 grams), which can improve constipation and maintain the balance of intestinal flora.
