Coconut milk is a delicious and versatile ingredient, but there are plenty of great health-related reasons to enjoy it too:

Immunity:
Including coconut milk in your diet helps to build the immune system naturally. Coconut milk is a source of lauric acid, capric acid, and antimicrobial lipids; these goodies are antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral, protecting the body against all sorts of ailments.

Mineral Magic:
Coconut milk is high in calcium, magnesium, selenium and phosphorus. These nourishing minerals all have great health benefits; calcium and phosphorus build strong bones, selenium is a potent antioxidant, while magnesium promotes a healthy nervous system.

Healthy Heart:
The MCFAs in coconut milk help to regulate blood pressure, control cholesterol and promote healthier blood lipid levels. Lauric acid also helps to maintain a healthy elasticity in the blood vessels.

Beauty Boost:
Coconut milk is rich in antioxidant vitamin E, which nourishes your skin and your hair from the inside out.

Slimming:
Don’t let all this talk of “fats” scare you off if you’re looking to keep your weight in check. The healthy (medium-chain) fats in pure coconut milk can actually help you feel fuller and satisfied for longer, controlling your appetite and curbing unwanted cravings. Plus the medium-chain fatty acids give your metabolism a boost, helping you to burn fat more efficiently. As part of a calorie-controlled diet, coconut milk can prove to be a handy weight loss ally.
