Dried Coconut Chips

Health Benefits Of Dried Coconut
Coconut has been studied extensively, and has been shown to benefit our health in the following ways:
• Strengthens the immune system
• Promotes cardiovascular health
• Increases metabolism and can aid in weight loss
• Improves digestion
• Helps protect against viral, fungal, and bacterial infections
One of the things that makes coconut unique is that its saturated fat content is composted primarily of medium chain fatty acids (MCFA). Unlike long chain fatty acids (LCFA) that are found in about 98% of the saturated fats we consume, MCFA’s can be absorbed by the body as soon as hit the liver. Simply put, this means that coconut is an extremely efficient source of energy for the body and is extremely unlikely to be stored as body fat.
Another thing that makes coconut stand out is that it’s the most abundant natural source of lauric acid – the exact same fatty acid found in human breast milk! Lauric acid is used by the body to fight viruses, as well as bacterial and fungal infections. Although dried coconut does not contain as much lauric acid as virgin coconut oil, it is still considered an excellent source.
