Glow Foods- Kerala, India. Coconuts. I've been drinking my fair share of coconut water to stay well hydrated while here in India. Coconuts provide natural protection from UVA/UVB sun rays so eat the coconut flesh and use coconut oil when in the sun. The yellow coconut is Malaysian and contains sweet water. The green coconut is one that is young, or unripe, and is mainly used for coconut water and its fatty jelly like flesh. When fully ripe most coconuts turn brown and hairy looking and contain a potent fatty milk like nectar used for cooking and harder insides that are dried for use as coconut flakes. In the 50 United States coconuts are grown in Hawaii and South Florida. The fatty acids and breakdown products in coconut oil can kill harmful pathogens, helping to prevent infections. Another application is using it like mouthwash in a process called oil pulling, which can kill some of the harmful bacteria in the mouth, and improve dental health. It's great to protect against diaper rash and cradle cap in babies and for mothers to drink post labor in increase blood plasma production and to protect tender breasts when #breastfeeding. There are so many benefits to using this plant. I could go on for days. How do you like your coconut? How do you use coconut in the kitchen and for wellbeing? #glowgetaway #glowmavenlovesindia #india #glowfoods #coconut #coconutwater #coconutoil #healthy #nutrition #lifestyle #mamaglow #travel #health #wellness #wellbeing # (at Glow Foods - India )
