Benefits of Coconut


1. Provides Good Fats

Even though coconut has healing capabilities, a lot of people are still not sure whether or not coconut oil is suitable for their health since it contains saturated fats. Pure coconut oil is extracted from ripe coconuts with hard flesh, while hydrogenated coconut oil is collected and then cold-pressed at 100-degrees Fahrenheit. You are better off with unrefined and unprocessed virgin coconut oil. Hydrogenated coconut oil should not be mistaken for extra virgin coconut oil, as the two are entirely different.

2. Coconuts Enhances Weight Loss

If you are having trouble losing weight, then you should look into consuming coconuts. Even with saturated fat, it is not as dangerous as saturated fat soaked in high calories and cholesterol. Coconut contains a medium-chain fatty acid that not only aids in weight loss but boosts metabolism at the same time. The fat burns off as energy rather than sticking to your belly. If that is not enough, it maintains a balance in your digestive tract and detoxifies your body.


3. Keeps You Hydrated

By consuming water found in young coconuts, you will get all the electrolytes you will ever need. It is the highest-rated source of electrolytes, which is primarily responsible for keeping your body hydrated. It will also keep your nerves and muscles functioning optimally.

4. Improves Skin Health

To keep your skin healthy and young, you need not look further than coconut oil. It contains antioxidants that slow down the aging process and protects your skin from harmful radiation from the sun. All you need to do is to apply a few drops of coconut oil on your skin. Use it before showering, so that it will be easier for the oil to be absorbed through your skin once your pores have opened up.

5. Coconuts Fight Bacteria

Coconuts contain lauric acid, which when digested forms a substance called monolaurin. These substances help fight against fungi, viruses and bacteria to keep infections at bay. They’ve even been shown to help kill the bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and the yeast Candida albicans, a common source of yeast infections in humans.

6. Ensures Healthy Teeth and Bones

The benefit of eating coconuts daily is it supports the development of healthy teeth and bones. By doing so, you will improve your body’s ability to absorb manganese and calcium, which is vital for bone development and can also help prevent osteoporosis, a condition responsible for making bones fragile and thin while causing loss of density. Coconuts are also an excellent alternative for people that are lactose intolerant.

7. Eliminates Scalp Infections

The antifungal and antibacterial properties that will protect the scalp from lice, dandruff and itchy scalp, which are primarily responsible for reducing hair growth.

  LESSON 2 The three major elements of accounting are: Assets, Liabilities, and Capital. These terms are used widely in accounting so it is necessary that we take a close look at each element. But first, let's define account. What is an Account? The term "account" is used often in this tutorial. Thus, we need to understand what it is before we proceed.

   LESSON 1 Accounting principles serve as bases in preparing, presenting and interpreting financial statements. They provide a foundation to prevent misunderstandings between and among the preparers and users. The Conceptual Framework of Accounting mentions the underlying assumption of going concern. In addition, the concepts of accrual, accounting entity, monetary unit, and time period are also important in preparing and interpreting financial statements. Going Concern Assumption The going concern principle, also known ascontinuing concern concept or continuity assumption, means that a business entity will continue to operate indefinitely, or at least for another twelve months. Financial statements are prepared with the assumption that the entity will continue to exist in the future, unless otherwise stated. The going concern assumption is the reason assets are generally presented in the balance sheet at cost rather that at fair market value. Long-term assets are included in the...
